Life is like a Banana Milkshake
As a child everything is magical – but how do we get those moments in adulthood? Let’s be honest, we spend more time working than playing. The government is in dire straights and the future of our planet falls further into jeopardy, so much so that if I stand still and think for too long existential crisis sets in.?
Why are we here? What is our purpose? How do we move forward?
The answer to those questions is too great – so how do we stay afloat through the mundane? How do we rise above the noise? How do we shine in the dark?

For anyone who’s met me you know I am Anna Cornfield, an extrovert neurotic with my glass always full - it just depends what it is filled with! ?
?? Water – I am existing, but grateful.
? Coffee – I want to engage, but I’m not awake yet.
? Energy drink – I’m focussed and ready to innovate.
?? Guinness – I’m comfortable and content.
?? Porn star martini – let’s not go there …
?? Banana milkshake with whipped cream – On top of the world, pure joy of a child with ideas and enthusiasm spilling over.
?
Wouldn’t it be great if we all came together with our glasses filled with metaphorical Banana Milkshakes – the sky would be the limit. People too quickly forget we were all children once! We can work more efficiently if we are engaged and enjoy what we are doing.

Here are a few mementos to encourage you to put your inner Scrooge in the cupboard and wash away those January blues...
?? Passion – if you've got it then use it, inspire others, believe in what you are doing and keep it real.
???? Warmth – regardless of job title we are all humans, a kind word or conversation may make someone else’s day.
?? Spring - is just around the corner, flowers will bloom and our fad diets and dry January will be over.
?? Banana Milkshake ?- Fair enough you might not like bananas ... or milk ... (I do tend to put a glug of rum in too), but there must be something that you can think of that would of brought a big smile to your face as a child!
?
So, I urge you all to find the fun in every day, make the extra effort to show you care,
?
… and if you can’t do that then please just keep swimming. ??
