Rising Above the “CRAP!”


Treasures In The Garden

 

There are four thieves of Laughter,

Love, Family, Integrity, Success

Satisfaction, Leadership, Passion,

Peace, Solutions, Results, Enthusiasm, Maturity …….and YOU!

 

Cynicism….Resignation….Anger….Procrastination

 

Check for “CRAP ATTACKS” in your life!

 

Give them a name! See what they steal from you humanity…….

then get back into living your life!

What wonderful stuff we can have in our lives if we can only rise above the “CRAP”!

More of those please….


Treasures In The Garden

 

More days of feeling good.… 

If you look back on a day

When you have felt completely satisfied,

 you will find that it will not be a day when

you have done nothing. 

Instead it will be a day when you have had

loads to do and contend with, and got it all done!

Well Done!

How good would that be?

 Compliment yourself….

Setting realistic goals


 

Here is our gorgeous visitor again tucking into some bird seed

We are getting a visit most days.

From My Garden

I  am trying to avoid self imposed stresses by not loading myself with unrealistic deadlines, and goals, that are beyond my personal capability.

 

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

I have 100% of my life left to live.

 Today is another crisp day- sunny, cold, exhilerating,  even inspiring, and motivating. 

I am hoping that the day will  be as rewarding as yesterday. It has started well.  I had a phone call from our nephew Craig. We haven’t spoken to him in such a long time. It was so good have a conversation. Eventhough things are not going as well for him as we hoped, we are looking positively to the future, and hoping that very soon there will be a turn around for him. And now my brother- in law has arrived. So two nice things happening within a short while spells good for the rest of the day.

 

Yesterday, I managed to complete all my projects for the day. That was a really good feeling. I ended my project day in the garden, which is how I wanted things to go, so my soull was singing for the rest of yesterday.  So obviosly I chose wisely and did not try to do more than was attainable. I am gaining wisdom in my “living longer” years.

 

And I arose from my slumber on this beautiful morning, in anticipation of another great day – positive, peaceful and enthusiastic.

 

 I wish you peace and happiness and someone to share your joy of living with. C.

 

If I am to participate in the game of life I need to grab hold of and cherish every precious moment.

Adding Enthusiasm


Taken on the table of our outdoor setting under the trees. Isn’t it just a little beauty? I love visitors like these in my garden. 

From My Garden

I need to remember that enthusiasm is not

an accessory to my life. It is an absolute necessity.

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

I have 100% of the rest of my life left to live.

 Yesterday, I did some cooking in the morning. I made Hungarian Goulash. I’ve never made this dish before. It was quite simple, very colourful, with very few ingredients, and enough , with mash and peas, to serve 4 people. I couldn’t find a recipe in my multitude of cookbooks, so I resorted to asking the internet for help. I was delighted with the result. My next culinary effort is going to be goulash soup. We had some on board ship in Hungary and I quite liked what we ate. 

 Later i was able to fit time in, in my garden. I had bought punnets of flower plants and planted up my hanging baskets.  Soon I will have baskets of flowering delight. Evev now with only the greenery the baskets look so much better than empty bare baskets.

 Today I found it hard to be enthusiastic about a visit to the accountant and all the paperwork and information required. However, at the end of my visit, when the accountant told me my tax return results, I became most enthusiastic indeed. In my head I was spending it on the new roof for my deck which we have yearned for, for a couple of years now. In summer it gets so hot out there.  A roof is badly needed. The visit was very productive.

So once again I have contributed to positive, productive and peaceful and added enthusiasm. Well done!

 So on to my next project for today, which is Apple Slice – with only 4 ingredients. I have made this  dessert before, and it is even easier than Hungarian goulash. I will have that ready in no time…. and it is very yummy indeed!

 And then into the garden…….

 I wish you a positive, productive, peaceful, and enthusiastic day and hope you too can share it with others. C 

 If I am to particpate in the game of life I will need to appreciate every precious moment.
