Living Life to the Fullest

Treasures In The Garden

Having no regrets....... I think of my grand children when I read this good advice, because these are the kind of things children do... with no inhibitions. being childlike is living with lightness in our heart. 

Eat that piece of chocolate cake

Walk in the rain

Splash in the puddles

Ride with the windows down

Dance. Sing. Talk to strangers

Smile at everyone

Hug someone

Go Barefoot

Take naps

Make LOTS OF LOVE

Try new things

Spend time with the kids

Laugh every chance you get

Help others.

LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST....

NO REGRETS!

LIFE IS WAY TOO SHORT!

I choose to live every day with JOY in my heart!

My word for today is "LIVE!"

Growing Older

The "man" of the moment  and his proud Mum and Dad

Growing older can be a time of sadness as children grow up and 

move away, health begins to fail and we save for eventual funerals.

However it can be a time of excitement, happiness and Magic 

and positivity.......

 In the last week we have had some of all of that in our life

 and made us feel glad to be alive.

....it started with the visit of our kids from the UK here to catch up with family and friends.

....a visit to Toowoomba to be with Bek as she celebrated her birthday.

....which meant we could catch up with Chris "friend" and her gorgeous family

....a lovely BBQ with Christine and her caring family

....and then a trip to Roma to be with more family 

traveling through a glorious sunset 

to meet up with Wayne and Leanne who drove all the way from Mackay

A big THANK YOU to LEIGH who allowed us to invade his house and all be together for........

 The Christening/ baptism of Axel Blake

....Baby Axel who brought magic to all of us with his sweetness and beautiful nature

And his Dad and Mum Shane and Jamie who are doing a great job at being parents of that darling boy

....And Leigh.. who is somebody very special indeed, being supportive to Jamie  and Shane as they battle their way through early parenthood.

 And the family BBQ on Saturday night where we were able to be together with Jamie and Shanes' friends and very yummy food 

and a phone call from Tassie from Brady and Liane

 ....And the lovely Christening/ Baptism  where Christian and Maree got be godparents of baby Axel

where Axel did an excellent job of being good

....And there's more

....A picnic with Jamie's family to celebrate the Christening/ Baptism.

Now ... how wonderful was all of that!

And Last night being in Brisbane with Christian and Bek and Adam, eating at a yummy Chinese Restaurant, staying at a gorgeous BnB and the yummiest breakfast. Another big THANKS to Christian and Bek for making that happen for us. We hope you enjoy your quiet time in Malaysia for you deserve it. We love your kindness so much.

My word for today is "MAGIC!"

And we had a safe trip home today to lovely rain.

Friendship

Friendship has shown me how good life can be....

Once in a while someone comes along,

 who just very naturally makes everyone feel

a little happier,

a little more alive to life.

My friend,

 you've been that someone to me.

You have given me perspective

on a lot of things - including myself.

I admire you, my friend,for so many reasons....

For your warmhearted nature,

 for making our times together, so special,

 for the way you let me know I can always share my feelings with you.

There are things you said to me that i always remember, and ways that you have helped me that I'll never forget.

The times we spend together are always good times. that 

 always leave me looking forward to the next time.

It's good to say in so many words

 how you've made my world a little brighter,,,,

 A little friendlier.

So thank you for the wonderful person that you are.

 You are my inspiration.
