Express straight away once you’ve found it..”Great”
Proactively express about others goodness. It feels great to be told so, even about things you already know.

Value those who are nearest to you
It is especially easy to overlook how wonderful your spouse or other family members really are. Always remember to respect and value one another.

Once upon a time…. and the princess married the prince and they lived happily ever after… Remember those stories where everything had a happy ending. What was your favourite storyline? Have you heard any of the fiction Ai is generating today…. Elder abuse, fraud, mistresses, dysfunctional families, bullying, Corporate culture that is built on artificial/aggressive competitive greed.
Pick a card, any card… what are your chances. Who do you believe, what is real, and who is really your friend?
On my outing yesterday, I smiled, greeted people in my close proximity, responded cheerfully if I was addressed, nodded if someone looked my way… said “excuse me,” and “”sorry “… if I needed to get by, or move past someone in an aisle.
It was a busy day, but… the brief, short interactions were interesting, and on the most part, people were surprised, but smiled back, Have you tried going out with the intention of connecting in a positive way, with people you meet along the way? Do you speak to strangers?
Everything that happens to you is material for growth.
Approach everything with firm belief that, “it will turn out for the best.” Anything can be used as material for progress and development.

Mid week everyone… have a great day!

Sunbathing is an activity that Quin likes to take in when the sun comes streaming through the window. It also allows her to monitor her patient (me) who is still lingering under the covers with a miserable cold. Her brother is more hands on, he likes to be right by my head, I guess its to make sure I’m still breathing. I’m too tired to even be grumpy about it.
Express yourself freely within the rules
We are able to experience the joy of being creative because we have the framework of laws, morals and rules to follow.
Live freely and vivaciously within these rules.

a few more days and we are into a March!!!
Me, myself and I…. that is who I am responsible for and to. I am so tired of hearing from people that what has happened to them, is always someone else’s fault. if he, if she hadn’t done, this, that etc. what has happened to being responsible for one’s own actions. Alright, the world isn’t always fair, but it is how we react or respond to a situation that is important. If you feel someone has done you a disservice.. you can be thankful that you found out or recognized what is or was being done. You look at the perceived negativity towards you,, and move on, it has already been done,… you can’t go back and erase what happened but you can learn from it.. and move on. Your life is just so much more important …
I started this yesterday but I was sidetracked by a body that won’t let go of a virus.. I listened, and went back to bed and stayed there, Does anyone else out there use weighted blankets?
How has the week begun for you? I hope it has been a sterling start to a brand new week.
A winter sculpture, a promise of spring and new beginnings. Smile.. Nature is a wonderful cure for anything that ails us.
If you are going to do it, do it joyfully
If you have to do something, choose to do it with joy and enthusiasm, By doing so, you will experience a deeper sense of beauty.

I sent one of my gals on assignment yesterday, show us how many ways our readers can stop, sit, relax for a moment.. She travelled to a retreat… found a comfortable chair and … here are some examples of taking an “adult, TIME OUT” you can’t hear it but there is a water fall in the courtyard… it was very picturesque but you can sit anywhere, at any time… You just have to make the time, to STOP for a moment, and SIT …
I know it is hard.. every time I open one of my devices I find some kind of ad/commercial/video about how to get better, feel better, and how their product will be a miracle cure like no other.. All you have to do is send them your information and buy their product. This Time Out is free…it is all Y O U.
Ok you can do that if that is what pleases you.. but you can also try … listening to your body/mind…and you can’t properly listen if you are constantly on the go… or interacting with whatever noise is coming at you. BUT Y O U CAN…. stop for 5 minutes… and just sit down somewhere, close your eyes, and listen to nothing in particular.. maybe count your breath, in and out…
I recommend, you close your eyes, take a deep breath in… and tilt your head back, and just let it out with a huge big sigh… and feel how your body responds… as you exhale your shoulders actually crop slightly.. and wow it didn’t hurt at all, it wasn’t hard to do… you survived.. Try it for a few more minutes… I know you can do it… don’t be shy, let the sigh be audible if you like… its YOUR moment… After that hard workout… you can treat yourself to another quiet moment, maybe sip on a coffee, drink some organic tea… after all you took a TIME OUT… you deserve a reward… smile…
The best part is you can do it several times a day if you want… if its too hard, try it three for times a week… see if it helps…you can work up to doing it daily… Putting yourSELF first can at times be challenging .. but. you are worth it !!!
This is a cold hard fact…. no one but YOU can make changes in YOUR life, Things happen that we can’t control, but WE can control how we deal with/accept… the opportunities that come our way.
You have my permission to use any of the seating positions used in this blog as part of your exercise regime.* silly wink*

February is said to be heart month. Valentine’s day is the 14th. Will you remember to say Thank you! will you tell someone how much you appreciate them… as a friend, a family member, even a passing stranger? On the radio I heard an old time radio program.. where the husband forgot to get his wife a valentine and of course the whole show was about how he redeemed himself. It was a comedy, never-the-less… it is a shame that we have to put aside one day a year to tell a loved one/friend that we care and appreciate them.
WE are blessed in life with friends, people around us who care, maybe not in the way you would like them to care, but they do care…
Open up opportunities by being proactive
Opportunities don’t just come knocking on the door. Use your enthusiasm and energy to bring good fortune your way.
