The power of love

Treasures In The Garden

 

Contribute to  peace throughout the world....

 

When the power of love 
overcomes the love of power,
 then our wonderful world
 will know that it is finally at peace.

Tale of Multiplication

Treasures In The Garden 

Love.....................

can be likened to the biblical tale

"the five loaves and two fishes"...

Love doesn't start to multiply

until it is given away.

Positive,productive and peaceful



One of the bonuses of living where it is cold.

I must not let failure defeat me.
I must get up and begin again.

Today is the first day of the rest of my lifel
I have 100% of the rest of my life to ive.





This week has been a week of failures for me - not drastic ones thank goodness -but failures to get up and be motivated. I have had a bout of the flu and while my health has been improving day by day with the help of medication, my cough hangs on and pulls me down.

So yesterday I decided to do a couple of extra things that were different from what I've been doing everyday.  I spent time pruning my roses, fertilising and watering them - a job well done. But the job didn't get finished because I ran out of fertiliser and had to wait till today to be able to purchase some more. But I made the start, and it's such a beautiful morning this morning, that I know when I come in from church I will have the motivation to finish the job.

But the best thing I did yesterday was to attend our Community Art Group meeting. Only 6 of us attended but they are such a delightful group and so motivated, I came away feeling quite happy and with a few plans to put in place to keep me busy over the next month. Thank you to my Art Group friends who really lifted my spirits when I most needed it.

I remember when I was young, my Mum used to quote "If at first you don't succeed, try, try, and try again" ( I think it may have been part of an old poem ) . So here I am back today blogging again, being positive, productive and peaceful, after a week of feeling sorry for myself. There seems to be something into the mindset of 'keep on keeping on'

Sunday, HERE I COME!

Be inspired:
Take a stand for yourself in a big way or even a small way - starting today........... and when you do and you succeed, PASS IT ON. C

The Ripple Effect

Welcome to my front door.

             From My Garden

Happenings in life are like a series of chain reactions

- just like when I throw a stone into the water and the

ripples circle out. Each event has an effect on the the

 next one down the line. I may remember the end result,

but not all the small choices I made each day that either

 got me closer to my goal or took me farther away.

Well, life is back to the mundane again - washing and ironing and cleaning and cooking dinner. I have done none of these in the last 5 weeks, not even making my bed.

And yet the mundane is important. This brings me back to earth and grounds me into who  I really am. Iam not the served but the server. There is no pleasure or achievement in being served and having no accomplishment other than having a good time. However, there is a accomplishment in having a clean house in making a pleasant, tasty meal, in being able to make someone happy, in being a human being with purpose a and worth.

And my memories are still there from my wonderful holiday, sharing my experience with my work colleagues and listening to their aspirations and dreams for their coming journeys or journeys they have already travelled on. Yes, I am back at work already. I didn't know haow much I missed the company of my younger work mates or the babble of small children asking me where I had been. Even they were interested in the story of being on the plane and the boat.

 I am glad to be back to the mundane. There's excitement and fun even in that. That is who I am.

Hoping all your dreams come true and I can be a part of your sharing of the fulfillment of your dreams as well . C.

Each day I plan what I need to do for the day.
I don't always follow my plan exactly but I have it.
I will save myself from two enemies - hurry and indecision.
