Never Give Up

Treasures In The Garden

A positive mind plus positive thinking .......

 

Have courage and a belief in yourself,

Maintain a positive outlook, 

Encourage others to be positive too.

Don't get caught up in negatives- 

Stick to the positive,

 Listen to others to find ways to be be positive,

Always look for ways to improve,

Focus on the here and now,

 Don't dwell on past mistakes,

Don't get distracted from moving forward,

Inspire others to believe in themselves.

Always do your best,

 Never give up!

      From My Garden

I'm finding that for relationships to be happy I need to be a good forgiver and and a good forgetter.


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






I am responsible for my own happiness. I must not rely on others to be responsible for making me happy. In order to get that result I have to look within myself and pull out what resources I have there that are going to achieve that outcome.

So I have let go of my past and moved on to the present. Right here and now is where I am happy. I am happy in this moment . I am alive. I am well. I am happy. I am warm. My tummy is full. I have a nice home and garden. I am in a place of peace. I don't look too far into the future because I have no idea what is there. So this moment and the next is all I have.

So now that I am participating in the game of life, I am appreciating every special moment - and I am happy and  at peace.

Today I wish you happiness and peace throughout this beautiful sunshiny day. C.

Praying for peace for the world



With love from my garden



        From My Garden

There has always been a longing within myself
 that is only satified when I am embraced and
 wrapped in the love of my Creator.





Each day when I make my daily prayer
I ask that each of my friends and all of my family
be wrapped in the loving embrace of God.
I ask him to wrap each person in the world in his love,
to make the world a better place for all of us to live in,
help the leaders of the world to make to right decisions
for the benefit of all of us,
and let their be world peace.

Please join me in my daily prayer.
Maybe if all our prayers are joined
together we can make a difference
for the suffering peoples of the world. Thank you. C 

Back home

Since we,ve been back home there has been very little sunshine. I need sunshine to brighten up my day and my outlook. It will brighten if we get some rain. Rain to water my garden is always a positive outcome.

My heart is open. I speak with loving words.

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

 We have made a bag for our first aid  items for when we travel.  I am trying to have things as light as possible. We have to take medication and vitamins, and all the bits and pieces for our camera and computer, as well as our clothes. I am a heavy packer with clothes and shoes. It's hard to be sensible with packing when things will be so different from being at home and if I need something it won't look like what I would get at home- may not even be called the same thing. That happens here in other states in Australia, So I can imagine what it will be like in a foreign country. That's the kind of stuff that makes me homrsick and  we will be gone for such a long time.

 I am excited about seeing new places, especially Holland where our beautiful daughter- in law was born, making our grand children part dutch as well as Australian. On our side of the family our grand children are 6th generation Australian and on their Mother's side they are first generation. What a rich heritage they have. Mine is very rich too thanks to my cousin's research. How grateful I am to my cousin's efforts to give us this wonderful proud knowledge.

The fog has gone and the sun has come out. What a difference the light has given to the day.

 husband's work shorts wrote lots of letters, letters, posted my letters, started a chain scarf I found instructions for in the new BHG magazine { I can use up some of my wool leftover from other knitting projects), watched" Marley and Me", a movie starring Jennifer Aniston, which  I enjoyed. So now I feel I had a positive day with all those projects completed.

 So on to having the rest of my day continue in a positive vein. Hoping that everybody else has a positive and peaceful, loved filled day too. C
