With determination we can achieve anything.
A health lifestyle means connecting with your body’s needs, moment my moment. Develop a kinder more loving attitude towards yourself.

Being considerate of others is just as important as what works for you.
Always be mindful of the situations of others, not just your own. To have a good relationship with those around you always think of what is important to them too.

Always be cheerful, happy and good humored.
When you make an effort to be cheerful and happy you will naturally begin to feel that way.
The gateway to happiness lies within your reach. It is always open to you, you simply have to know that happiness begins within, Always be yourself, don’t try to be someone you aren’t.
Have you used a stapler lately, mine ran out out of staples, and for a few minutes.. I actually wondered what was wrong with it.. then I had to scramble to remember where the replacements were.!!! finally found, I had a bit of a chuckle as I looked at the stapler to determine how to put the replacements in. Like duh, this was such an easy fix … thankfully I have a “junk” drawer in my office for items seldom used, BUT could be useful one day… Have you used a stapler lately?

It is interesting because it’s different
Even if someone totally disagrees with you or does things differently, you may learn something from them. Avoid getting trapped in the mindset, “This is the way it has to be,” and free your mind to consider other possibilities.
Have a wonderful start to a new week.

There is a quiet
that engulfs and captures my thoughts
a quiet that fills me with a feeling full of an emotion
I can not name
it isn’t part of a game, nor do I seek fame
But, I do want to lay claim
To the ever present energy
That courses through my veins
is this an insanity or am I sane….. and
all the chatter is in vain
I ask
does it even matter
the moment has passed
Q
Past, Present or Future, always remember to be sincere and Honest. At anytime, the place where you are standing at that moment is the stage upon which you must express yourself. At each moment in time, there is sure to be a way to express yourself in relation to your position or status.

Experience the joy of being kind to others
The joy of expressing kindness to others is much greater than when someone does something kind for you. Always strive to be a person who can be kind to others.
Follow your heart while also thinking about the happiness of others, Always be true to yourself in your words and actions. Strive to make others happy with a sincere heart.

All the little reindeer are getting ready for their big haul coming up. They have to keep in shape, work their muscles, and keep their limbs flexible… build their stamina. We are being told to expect our first big snow drop…there were snow dustings yesterday. Time to put the sand and a shovel into the car, make sure the ice and snow scrapers are within reach. You ready?
When you get stuck, go back to the beginning
Could it be that you have forgotten what initially sparked your enthusiasm? By remembering what inspired you in the beginning, you will feel a renewed enthusiasm.
For those of you following the car saga, Its back, however it is not finished, there is still a problem with the wi-fi system, I can get calls, but no one can hear me.. could be the speaker or another wire that is malfunctioning!… but it can’t go back in till the 10th. Not having it for over a week, means I have a lot of “catch up ” to do. Positive side. I will be unavailable while in my car /out on runs etc… just like in the good old days of landlines and no wi-fi in cars. Always look for the silver lining!!!!!!
Have a great day everyone, and IF you are in an area where the snow is coming or has come, please be prepared. Check your anti-freeze, the windshield washer fluids are they minus weather grade, do you have a shovel, sand/salt in the car if you travel outside the city a must ….. yup winter is here. In Canada winter tires are a necessity … NB* in some Provinces you will be ticketed or fined if you are travelling without them. Take heed. Be Prepared.

Always express your true self with honesty and integrity.
We feel a deep sense of joy when we are able to express our true selves. Always focus on your true feelings and express yourself honestly. The everyday things you do will show when it really counts.
Oyashikiri
If you have a tendency to be careless about everyday matters, you cannot expect to perform well at crucial times.

The joy of expression is in the process.
Of course results are important but let’s not lose sight of the true joy that can be found in the actual process. Face every task with whole hearted enthusiasm.
Approach everything optimistically without hesitating. Your strong conviction and Makoto (sincere effort) will help drive you towards accomplishing what you set out to do.

My Porti, Canaille, she was the love of my life … my best friend, my one and only, When I saw this thanksgiving puzzle, I had to do it…
There are always special “loves” that share our “world” always do your best to treasure every moment you have with them… There is only “NOW”
Put Makoto even into small things.
Don’t let things go with “oh well” You will have a different outcome if you put Makoto (sincerity) into all you do. Strive to always be bright and cheerful so you can enliven those around you.
