In the Pursuit of Happiness

Treasures In The Garden

 There is enough happiness for everyone.......

Happiness is an inside job.....

Happiness can't

be travelled to

owned, accrued,worn,or

consumed. Happiness is

the spiritual experience of

living every minute with

love, grace and gratitude.

When life throws us

hundreds of reasons to break 

down and cry, show life that 

we have a thousand reasons

to smile, laugh and be happy.

Lots of reasons to be STRONG!

Remember the time to be happy is NOW!

TIME waits for no one.

I choose to live with joy and happiness in my heart.

My word for today is "NOW!" 

A gift for everyday

The gratitude of happiness

Having an attitude of gratitude........

 

As we follow our daily journey

we need to recognise that

it is not happiness that

makes us be grateful.

 It is gratitude......

 that makes us feel happy.

Mother's Day

                                                                                         

Today is the first day of the rest of my life.

  Changes can begin in a moment,and

I am willing to make changes right now.

Well, I have just spent two very great days. Yesterday, our second son and his beautiful partner came to visit us. We shared a meal- well two in fact-, lots of conversation, laughter, and companionship. I was so excited when I knew they were coming. By the time they arrived I was nearly bursting. I had four members of my family with me, which was the best present  I could receive.

Last night we went to vigil service. The congregation was small and there was no organist, but the people sang like angels and the service lacked for nothing. Our vigil service was for the 6th Sunday after Easter and the second Sunday of the calendar month. I was the second reader of the word. We spoke about how much God loves us, that God is love, and that Jesus said:

" Love one another as I have loved you". If we love each other with the same unconditional love  God gives to us, we will live in a wonderful world.We are asked to respond to this unique and unconditional love from God in words and in deeds.

As an example: a Mother's love....Mother takes care of us, loves us, journeys with us through life. Through childhood, adolescence, mature age, Mother is an important part of our life's journey. And so we respond in words and deeds to honour our Mother.

How will we honour God for His unconditional love?

Today is Mother's Day. It has been great today and yesterday. I have been hearing from my children, one by one. They are scattered in places far away. So it has been wonderful to have contact, making Mother's Day very special indeed. Thank you .

We mowed four lawns today. On Mother's Day......? Well, I quite enjoy lawn mowing. There's always the end result: a great looking lawn, a job well done, and a lovely warm shower to wash off the grime.

Today I wish you happy moments , space for peace and relaxation, and a time where dreams can come true. And.... pass it on. C 

A Sunny Day

Today is the first day of the rest of my life.

I am enthusiastic about life.
I am filled with energy and
optimism.

Today was positive and productive! Good stuff!

We went off early to mow two lawns. What a good mow. They looked so beautiful when we had finished. That's the good part about doing that sort of work. You can see improvement in a short amount of time.

The sun came out today after a few days of being overcast. The world seemed so much more beautiful. I felt so much happier looking out at lovely bright sunshine. We had our first really cold day today. I wore a warm shirt and long pants most of the day. Had lots of wood chopped today. I helped stack it ready for our fire when it gets really cold. I love our fire in winter. It makes our living area so toasty and warm. We don't even notice when it is cold outside. I love winter here because I can own lots of winter clothes, warm hats,overcoats, scarves. I didn't own any of those things before we came here. So my wardrobe has expanded.

Of course I spent more time in the garden with my favourite job - pruning. I pruned the other jasmine tree, and all my branches from yesterday and today were mulched to put on my garden. I try not to waste anything, including the dust from the wood chop and the tiny chips that fly off the wood. All get dug into the soil. My Mum always said "waste not want not." Not sure that is what happens, but my conscience always feels good when I can use as much as I can.  

And I spent time watering the second half of my garden. We have been promised rain for the weekend and early next week That will be lovely. I'm sure my garden will be grateful for a lovely drop of H20 au naturale.

Well after such a good day I should sleep like a top. Have to be positive about things, now.

So I wish you all joy and peace . C
