The Power Of Positivity


Treasures In The Garden


Choose to be happy:


Happiness is a choice,

not a result.

Nothing can make us happy

until we choose to be happy.

No person will make us happy

unless we decide to BE happy.

Our happiness will not come to us.
                                           
It will only come from us.
                          Ralf Masterton


I choose to live with joy in my heart.

Today's word is "CHOICE!"

Only we can make that choice.

New year resolutions

 

Treasures In The Garden

Here we are in the brand new year of 2017. 

Most of us will be thinking of New Year resolutions. Then, by the end of January we will have broken them and tried again a couple more times. It's so frustrating because our good intentions have gotten lost in the craziness of just living our normal day.

So I thought that maybe as we are experiencing our normal day we could count the physical luxuries we take for granted, that other people would love to experience, but do not have these luxuries on hand.

Think about how many small luxuries we may have experienced today....... Count them up!

Did you wake this morning in a comfortable bed?
Did you have clean water to drink?
Was there hot water to shower in?
Did your bus or train run on time?
Did your car start? Did it run well?
                                       Did you eat a nourishinghealthy lunch?
Was there a  hot drink to have when you arrived home?
 Was there someone or a pet to welcome you home?

These are all things we so often take for granted.
Take a moment to appreciate each one of these things to the fullest.
Think about how fortunate we are in so many different ways. Let these little luxuries create a sense of  richness and well-being in your life.

And feel glad and grateful and fantastic.

Take notice and have gratitude for the smallest pleasures to make a huge contribution to our everyday happiness.

So many people don't have these fortunate that most of us view as mundane things that are part of daily living. 

And we can have this wonderful happiness everyday.

My word for today is "APPRECIATE!"

I choose to live everyday with my heart filled with joy.

Family First

Treasures In The Garden



What we need........ is each other.

        That is our most precious gift.


The greatest treasure in one's life

is one's family.

We may not be the perfect family,

but we love each other

with all our heart.
                                           Timeless Reminder

Family is where we love, learn, share, are significant, gain character, are always a success, be important, and are always very special.


I choose to live with joy in my heart.

My word for today is "FAMILY!"

Living Life to the Fullest






Treasures In The Garden


Having no regrets....... I think of my grand children when I read this good advice, because these are the kind of things children do... with no inhibitions. being childlike is living with lightness in our heart. 

Eat that piece of chocolate cake

Walk in the rain

Splash in the puddles

Ride with the windows down

Dance. Sing. Talk to strangers

Smile at everyone

Hug someone

Go Barefoot

Take naps

Make LOTS OF LOVE

Try new things

Spend time with the kids

Laugh every chance you get

Help others.

LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST....

NO REGRETS!

LIFE IS WAY TOO SHORT!



I choose to live every day with JOY in my heart!

My word for today is "LIVE!"

Following the road ahead

Treasures In The Garden


Don't look back........


Sometimes we have days

when we wish we could change some

things that happened in our past:

There is a reason that the rear

vision mirror is so small and

the windscreen  is so LARGE....
 
where you are headed is

much more important than

what you have left behind.

....... that's not the way you are headed.


I choose to live with my heart full of joy

My word for today is "AHEAD!"
