Accentuate the Positive


No Infringement of Copyright Intended

Treasures In The Garden


The pleasure of giving can outweigh always receiving.....


Receiving makes giving 

last longer.

Giving makes receiving

last even longer.

The smile on the face of someone receiving is 

what we receive for our gift of giving.

My word for today is "POSITIVITY"

Each day I choose to live with my heart filled with joy and love.

Making a Difference

Being the Difference


To be the difference

In someone's life we

Don't have to be brilliant,

Rich, beautiful, or Perfect.

We just have to care.
                                             -Mandy Hale


 To see the difference we want happening in our world, We need to become  the difference. WE need to be the difference.


My word for today is "CARE!"

I choose to live each day with love and joy in my heart.

A Means of Growth

Learning, solving, growing are all parts of living.


Every problem is a gift.

Without Problems we

would not grow.
                   Anthony Robbins

Just for Laughs


Today's Titter


Angry Wife: "I should have married the devil.

He would make a better husband than you."

Husband: "You would be arrested! Marriage

between relatives is illegal in this country."

I  love these jokes from our church newsletter -

squeaky clean- but funny and clever at the same time.

Sharing Our Joy

No infringement of copyright intended

Treasures In the Garden


How about adding some joy to life,embracing the 

little things we sometimes forget to find enjoyment in.....


Make a life that sizzles and pops and makes us laugh

out loud. We don't want to get to the end, or even to 

tomorrow, and realise that our life is a collection of

meetings, washing clothes, errands, receipts, dirty dishes,

and making beds.

We need to savour everything we eat, sing out loud in the car 

with the windows down, wear colourful shoes, stay up all night 

laughing,and paint the wall the exact same colour as the sky on 

nice clear day.

Sleep on nice clean sheets,

Throw parties and share our joy,

Read books that are so good they make us sad when they end.

Make everyday day, such that it makes God belly laugh,

Glad that He gave life to us and we love

 the wondrous gift He has given us, SO much.  

My word for today is "JOY!"

I choose to live each with a heart filled with joy and love.

A Smile Doesn't Always Tell the Whole story....


Treasures In The Garden


Don't be fooled by that happy smile.


The smile on my face does not mean my life is perfect.

It means that I appreciate what I have been blessed with.

I choose to be happy.


We can appreciate life even if it's 

not perfect.  Happiness is

not fulfillment of what

we wish for, but an

an appreciation of what we have.

Once we start appreciating our life,

that is when we realise

how much we truly have to be thankful for.


My word for today is "APPRECIATION!"


I choose to live each day with love and joy in my heart.



"If the Cap Doesn't fit"

This week's fun quip from the church newsletter:

I signed up to the gym this week.

Upon enquiring about a class that

was being offered. I was instructed

that I should wear loose fitting clothes.

If I had loose fitting clothing I wouldn't

have signed up for a class in the first 

place would I ?
