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.   

A Means of Growth

Learning, solving, growing are all parts of living.

Every problem is a gift.

Without Problems we

would not grow.

Sharing Our Joy

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 

a 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.

Recipe for Happiness

 A Philosophy towards life.

Thinking of my loved ones is my recipe for happiness

Happiness is something 

we create in our mind

It's not something we search for

 but can't seem to find.

It's not something that's

 purchased with silver or gold

not something that force

 can capture and hold.

It's just waking up 

and beginning each new day,

by counting our blessings

 and kneeling to pray.

It's giving up thoughts

that breed discontent,

and accepting what comes

as a gift heaven sent.

It's giving up wishing 

for things we have not,

and making the best

whatever we've got.

It's knowing that life

is determined and planned,

and that God holds the world

in the palm of his hand.

And it's by completing

what God gives us to do,

that we find our contentment

and happiness, too.

                   Joan Hiscock

May peace and happiness find their way from your heart. 

Evolving Journey

Treasures In The Garden

        The secret of being content is a realisation that life is a gift...

not a given right.

Never forget that the journey through life

is forever evolving. The ups and downs

we experience will be many. Things won't

always go the way we want them to.

Life never gives us more than we have

 

the ability to manage. Never let a stumble

 

along the way put an end to our journey. 

If we are not challenged.... then we won't GROW!

Starting from Scratch

Organic Gardening

Healthy Living with Nature

How our Health Journey Began.......

Our amazing journey started with our need to lose weight

and a gift of a book called "Flat Belly Diet" from our son, Jason. From
this book we learned about good oils and fats, and the foods they are found in, good nutrition, exercise. What we eat affects how our bodies perform.

 And it was a truly great GIFT because we have lost weight and started a journey to empowered health and well being, to regain our wellness.

With the help of the "Flat belly Diet" book I lost 11 kg in weight  and my cholesterol level went down to 5.
My partner lost 17 kg in weight and his blood pressure medication was halved.

Our next venture was to obtain the "Flat Belly Diet Cookbook like the one our son ,Brady and his wife Liane, were using." The recipes are beautiful, the food delicious and easy to prepare.... and they worked for us. 
We maintained our amazing new weight loss, and kept it off.
 I now weigh 85 kg.
 my partner weighs 76 kg.

So now our minds were open to changing our life.
 And we are passionate about sharing our successes.

My blogs will be about the path we have taken. We will share what we have learned, so we can help others to reach their full potential.

Happy thoughts!

A Special Day

Treasures In The Garden

Every day is a special occasion.......

We should not save anything for a special occasion:

Everyday we wake up is a special occasion.

There are things that we have not yet seen.

There are things we have seen and done

and not realized they were special.

Savour, not endure. Try to recognize the special moments and cherish them.

We must not take tomorrow for granted ....

see old friends we haven't seen in ages

Call family,

 Apologize, mend fences,

Write that special letter, 

Tell our family and partner that we LOVE them

....add laughter and lustre to our lives

when we open our eyes and realize "today is SPECIAL!"

Everyday, every hour, every minute, every second is a gift!

That's what makes every day so SPECIAL!

....... because we are ALIVE!

 

My word for today is "SPECIAL!"

Friendship

FRIENDS.......

If you ask me

how long I will be your friend:

my answer will be, " I don't know." 

Because I 'don't know' which is longer

FOREVER or ALWAYS!

                                       Words to inspire the Soul

....... makes one realise that friendship is God's most precious gift!

 

My word for today is "FRIEND"!

Sharing the Caring

 

Treasures In The Garden

Don't keep the goodies to ourselves.......

 

Don't keep thankfulness to ourselves.

 Let the people close to us in our lives

know how we feel about them, OFTEN.

Sometimes the very best gift we can offer them 

is our love and positive energy.

The journey is the Gift

Treasures In The Garden

From Singapore

Journey's End...

I once set sail
for a distant horizon
and I found myself adrift
in a vast blue sea.
  I kept my vision primed
on what lay ahead of me.
No matter what I had,
I knew there must be
something more,
way off in the distance
on a faraway shore.
I didn't see the beauty
of the stars on high.
I was oblivious of the rainbows
after the clouds passed by.
It took me such a while
to finally comprehend,
that the gift was the journey--
not what I would find at the end.

Wow! What a gift.

  I was looking too far ahead!
