Inner Winner


Treasures In The Garden

 

Happiness doesn't come from outer circumstances but from inner assurance.......

To be an inner winner I need to:
Count my blessings,
 Practice kindness,
Use my time wisely,
Listen to my heart,
Do my very best,
Let go the rest,
Breathe,
Go with the flow.

....... it comes from within!

 

My word for today is "HAPPINESS!"

It's time to make a change


Treasures In The Garden

 

Do we always know what things are important? 

Could it be.......


The ability to be able to love....
or: making expressions of kindness
 to those around us....
or: touching the heart, the emotions
 of the people we love....
Or, the wordless conveyance of care
 by a look or touch....

Perhaps we could give it the chance to work.

 It takes 21 days to change a habit.

Maybe it will help change the lives of others as well as our own.

Staying In Focus


Treasures In The Garden

 

The end result is not enjoyable.......

 

Sometimes we become too focused
on the line where we will finish....
 and we fail to see the journey
 we have taken to get to our destination.

 

....... if we have missed out on how we got there.

 

My word for today is "JOURNEY!"

Directions--- every which way!

                                                                                  

Treasures In The Garden

  

If we make kindness a part of every day living.......

 

A single act of
 kindness
throws out
roots in all
directions,
 and those roots
SPRING
up and make
new growth.
                     Amelia Earhart

..........we will probably never know in which directions our kindness will be projected!

 

My word for today is "DIRECTION!"

Lighting an Inspiring Flame


Treasures In The Garden

 

Igniting the flame which has become extinguished 

by a sad happening for someone we know.......

  At times our own
 light can go out and be
rekindled from a spark 
lit by another person.
 Each one of us has cause 
to think with deep gratitude
 of someone who has lighted
 the dwindling flame within us.

....... can be a wonderful achievement by a caring person, and inspiration for those in need  of a helping hand.

 

My word for today is "IGNITING!"
