Being the Difference

To be the difference

In someone’s life we

Don’t have to be brilliant,

Rich, beautiful, or Perfect.

We just have to care.

                                             -Mandy Hale

 To see the difference we want happening in our world.  We need

to become  the difference. WE need to be the difference.

My word for today is “CARE!”

I choose to live each day with love and joy in my heart.

Sharing Our Joy

Treasures In the Garden

How about adding some joy to life,embracing the 

little things we sometimes forget to find enjoyment in…..


Make a life that sizzles and pops and makes us laugh

out loud. We don’t want to get to the end, or even to 

tomorrow, and realise that our life is a collection of

meetings, washing clothes, errands, receipts, dirty dishes,

and making beds.

We need to savour everything we eat, sing out loud in the car 

with the windows down, wear colourful shoes, stay up all night 

laughing, and paint the walls the exact same colour as 

the sky on nice clear day.

Sleep on nice clean sheets,

Throw parties and share our joy,

Read books that are so good they make us sad when they end.

Make everyday a day, such, that it makes God belly laugh,

Glad that He gave life to us and we love

 the wondrous gift He has given us,SO much.  

My word for today is “JOY!”

I choose to live each with a heart filled with joy and love.

Not All of the Story


Treasures In The Garden

Don’t be fooled by that happy smile.

The smile on my face does not mean my life is perfect.

It means that I appreciate what I have been blessed with.


I choose to be happy.

We can appreciate life even if it’s 

not perfect.  Happiness is

not fulfillment of what

we wish for, but an

an appreciation of what we have.

Once we start appreciating our life,

that is when we realise

how much we truly have to be thankful for.

My word for today is “APPRECIATION!”

I choose to live each day with love and joy in my heart.

You be the Judge

Life’s Judgments

Of all the judgments we pass in life
none is more important
than the judgment we pass on ourselves.
Nathaniel Brandon

We are our own biggest critics .

Today I chose to live with love and joy in my heart.

My word for today is ” JUDGMENTAL.”

In Appreciation


 

Treasures In The Garden

Have an appreciation for what we have….

The smile on my face

doesn’t mean my life is perfect.

It means I appreciate

what I have and what I

have been blessed with.

I choose to be happy.

My word for today is “APPRECIATION!”

choose to live each day with joy in my heart.

 

At The End


Treasures In The Garden

At life’s end:

What is really important

Is NOT what we BOUGHT

But what we BUILT!

Not what we GOT

But what we SHARED!

Not our COMPETENCE

But our CHARACTER

And not our SUCCESS

But our SIGNIFICANCE!

                            Sun Gazing

We occupied a special place

  in the scheme of things.

Every end is a new beginning:

My word for today is “SIGNIFICANCE!”

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

Inner beautiful


Treasures In The Garden

 

Focus on awesomeness …….

 When you see something 

beautiful in someone,

TELL them.

It may only take a 

second to say,

but for them, the compliment may

last a lifetime.

I choose to live every day with joy in my heart.

 

My word for today is “COMPLIMENT!”

The Best Gifts to Give


Treasures In The Garden

Life has many treasures but a gift of ourselves is the best treasure of all.

Very often we will find that

 

the gifts which are the

most appreciated, and mean

 

the most are gifts of our time

 

and our love.

I will spend each day with a a heart full of joy and love.

My word for today is “GIFTS!”

Time and love are our life and cannot be bought- the most precious gifts to receive.

Holy Cow !


Treasures In The Garden

Living the best life possible…….

Life’s journey is not about

arriving at our grave

in a body that is well preserved….

But rather it is to skid in

sideways, totally worn out

shouting: ” Holy Cow….

what a journey that was!”

I have lived a total and full life.

Thank you, God!

…. I hope I have done what you asked.

I will live my life with a heart filled with joy and gratitude!

My word for today is “JOURNEY!”

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!”
