COVID-19 Apparently one of the symptoms of COVID-19 is having no taste Looking back on all my exes - I think I've been infected for years
VACCINE ALERTThis happened. A friend had his 2nd dose of the vaccine at the Vaccination Centre, after which he began to have blurred vision on the way home. When he called the Vaccination Centre for advice to ask if he should go to hospital or see a doctor. He was told to return immediately to the Vaccination Centre to pick up his glasses.
OPEN YOUR EYES AND HEARTS TO NEW WAYSHEALTHY EATING IS IMPORTANT SO TOO IS HEALTHY THINKING Give yourself 'mind snacks' that help you in the day...not hinder you. If you are pigging out on fatty, self depreciating thoughts, throw them in the mental chook bucket as they come to peck you. Feed your mind with plenty of positive lightweight happy thoughts. Author Rachael Treasure OUTBACK WISDOM Take life by the throat and shake the living life out of it . Take charge of your life, and work at making each day better than the one before .... it is up to you. Smile, no matter how much you dislike the job you have to do.. Always look for the best in people . Take a problem and turn it into an asset. Author Sara Henderson July 1995
SHE'LL BE RIGHT JACK He lived way out in the outback Not far from the Birdsville Track Nothing seemed to worry him They called him "She'll be right Jack"
One year he lost a thousand sheep When the rain was really slack When confronted by his banker His reply was "She'll be right Jack"
His wife ran off with a stockman Almost took the shirt off his back When the boys in the pub said sorry He simply said "She'll be right Jack"
Well one day our man went to Heaven To our earth he would never come back As he firmly shook hands with St Peter He grinned and said "She'll be right Jack"

ACCEPT THINGS AS THEY AREWe must learn to accept ... To accept life, and to accept ourselves, not blindly and not with conceit. but with a shrug and a smile, To accept in the end existence not because it's just or reasonable or even satisfactory, but simply and plainly because it is all we've got. Every day we have plenty of opportunities to get angry, stressed or offended. But having these negative emotions is giving something outside yourself power over your happiness. You can choose not to let little things upset you.
WINNERSThis is the beginning of a new day. I have been given it to use as I will. I can waste it or use it for good, but what do I do today is important because I am exchanging a day of my life for it. When tomorrow comes this day will be gone forever, leaving in its place something I have traded for it. I want it to be good and not evil, gain and not loss, success and not failure, in order that I shall not regret the price I have paid for it.
LET'S ENJOY LIFE Happiness is always there within reach no matter how long it lasts. Let's enjoy life and don't live a complicated life. Life is too short. Work as if it is your first day . Forgive as soon as possible. Love without boundaries. Laugh without control and never stop smiling. Please think of those with cancer or any other illness..
KINDNESS 5 Minutes is all it takes to..... Leave an anonymous thank-you note on a colleague's desk. Return a shopping trolley to the trolley bay and save someone's car from being dented. Make someone a cup of tea and start a conversation. Praise a shop assistant and wish them a happy day. Collect your neighbour's garbage bin. Share a joke with someone who needs a laugh.
THINKING BACK You will find that when you look back on life, the moments that stand out are the moments when you have done things for others. The purpose of life is not to be happy but to matter, to be productive, to be useful, to have it make some difference that you have lived.
SLOW DOWN THERAPY In a hurry? Of course you are. Remember a happy peaceful time in your past. Rest there. Each moment has a richness that takes a lifetime to savor. Allow yourself time to be lazy and productive. Rest isn't a luxury, it's a necessity. |
