Making the most out of life
Treasures In The Garden
Life is not about finding oneself. It's about creating oneself.
Four things we can't recover:
The stone after it has been thrown.
The word after it's been said.
The occasion after it has been missed.
The time after it has gone.
And how about:
Laughter is the fireworks of the soul.
All good stuff to ponder upon.
My word for today is "CREATING!"

Adding Enthusiasm
an accessory to my life. It is an absolute necessity.
Today is the first day of the rest of my life.
I have 100% of the rest of my life left to live.
Yesterday, I did some cooking in the morning. I made Hungarian Goulash. I've never made this dish before. It was quite simple, very colourful, with very few ingredients, and enough , with mash and peas, to serve 4 people. I couldn't find a recipe in my multitude of cookbooks, so I resorted to asking the internet for help. I was delighted with the result. My next culinary effort is going to be goulash soup. We had some on board ship in Hungary and I quite liked what we ate.
Later i was able to fit time in, in my garden. I had bought punnets of flower plants and planted up my hanging baskets. Soon I will have baskets of flowering delight. Evev now with only the greenery the baskets look so much better than empty bare baskets.
Today I found it hard to be enthusiastic about a visit to the accountant and all the paperwork and information required. However, at the end of my visit, when the accountant told me my tax return results, I became most enthusiastic indeed. In my head I was spending it on the new roof for my deck which we have yearned for, for a couple of years now. In summer it gets so hot out there. A roof is badly needed. The visit was very productive.
So once again I have contributed to positive, productive and peaceful and added enthusiasm. Well done!
So on to my next project for today, which is Apple Slice - with only 4 ingredients. I have made this dessert before, and it is even easier than Hungarian goulash. I will have that ready in no time.... and it is very yummy indeed!
And then into the garden.......
I wish you a positive, productive, peaceful, and enthusiastic day and hope you too can share it with others. C
If I am to particpate in the game of life I will need to appreciate every precious moment.

I need to remember that enthusiasm is notan accessory to my life. It is an absolute necessity.
