Recipe For Happiness

Two heaped cups of patience, 

One heartful of love, 

Two handfuls of generosity, 

One headful of understanding.

A dash of humour, 

Sprinkle with kindness,

Add plenty of faith and mix well.

Spread over a period of a lifetime

and serve to everyone you meet.

Patience is a virtue

Patience tells us that the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step and that we get over there one step at a time. 

Patience teaches us not to rush. Knowing that there is a reason and a season for everything it enables us to smile at the challenges, realising that there is an answer to every problem. And, even though we cannot see it, yet there is awareness that within every crisis lies an opportunity.

Patience is a virtue and a power too.

Thought for Today

Just because we can't see God's plan doesn't mean He doesn't have one.

My Search for Silence

In silence lies the ability to listen; to listen to ourselves, to others and to God.

Listening is a lost art. Without it we cannot communicate, we cannot relate to each other and so we cannot live life meaningfully. We need to learn to listen.

Sitting in silence allows us to listen to ourselves and to understand. This silence can heal. The worries, the pain can be healed when we listen.

Spiritual medicine is ever-present in the soul. Whenever we need it, to whatever extent we need it, we can find it within.

Be Mine Valentine

Fall truly, madly and deeply in love with your life; all of it, even the shadows, and never stop falling!

"To fall in love with yourself is the first secret to happiness." --Robert Morely

Happy Valentine's Day to ME!!

Magic Moments

It is the art of living, the purpose of our existence. Happiness is the true index of quality of life. Without happiness, life is dry and meaningless. With happiness, life immediately becomes fulfilling and wonderful. Happy people keep themselves happy because they know the little ways to appreciate themselves and to see the humour and magic in each moment.
