You experience life moment by moment; these moments add up to your life.

Change is Good!



Want something in your life to be different? Well, you can't change everything overnight, but you can change a room, just a little bit, and make it feel different.
Maybe you can't afford new furniture and your old stuff looks awful. Maybe you're just sick and tired of it. The one thing that you can do for a temporary lift is move it around. Even if your room is small, you can always change at least one thing. If you're in the living area, switch the placement of the end tables, move the coffee table closer to or further from the couch. Move a chair , just a bit, out from the wall if you have it against it. If you have chairs on either side of a fireplace, angle them toward the fireplace, or if they're already angled, change them so that they face one another.
Another way to make a change in any room is to change some of the pictures that you have on the wall. If you can't do this, then rotate your family photos. Many people have framed pictures of family outings, etc. - change these for a different one. Or, put all the family photos away for a while - especially if they are in the living area.
Of course, if you do this, you'll find yourself cleaning some as you go. Even if you move things back again very soon, at least you got them clean!

Fragrant Dreams


Before you go to bed tonight, spray some of your favorite perfume over your pillow case (notice I said "over" not on). You'll smell the scent as you go to sleep and will relax much more easily!

Forgive Someone


Are you harboring a grudge from something silly that happened long ago or just the other day? Drop it. Let it go. Tell yourself that a day or two is long enough to give your emotions the anger they need against the other person; after that the anger is really only turning inward toward yourself.
Shake your head and take a wise and philosophical stance: perhaps that person is just silly; perhaps the person is not too bright; at the worst, maybe the person is bad, downright evil - again shake your head and toss off the grudge.
Even if you don't believe in karma, remember that people who do very bad things make enemies, and enemies do not tend to help us on this earth.
Don't try to seek revenge actively. People really do reap what they sow....eventually. The wise and the philosophical know that much of life is simply a waiting game for the reaper.
Don't let another person's bad behavior cause you more harm by nurturing negative feelings that get turned inward against yourself. Forgive - or if you can't do that - remember that life has a way of evening things out.

Tea Is Good!


Today is Monday, and one of the roughest days for many people who have to go back to work after the weekend. Try this: to improve your day, when you get home, or at some point during the evening, get out either the silver teapot you rarely use or the good china teapot with matching cup and saucer. Make your favorite tea - or some tea that is especially fragrant (Earl Grey is great; so is jasmine) or add some cinnamon and a couple of cloves to the pot. Put teapot and one cup, and the creamer and sugar if you use either on the tray and take it to the bedroom. Put your feet up and pull out the latest "fun" magazine that you haven't had time to read, and give yourself at least 30 minutes alone.
You'll feel a sense of luxury and elegance that is usually foreign to Mondays!

Tell Them You Love Them!



Tell someone that you love him/her today - even if you do it by e-mail. You'll feel better that he/she knows and the person will get a wonderful lift and a smile - I promise. The by-product of making someone else happier is that you'll feel better, too.
Hi! Just wanted to remind you how much I love you!
or
Have a great day and know that you are loved!

Trying To Get This Worked Out!

There's nothing like trying something that you haven't done before, so I am trying to do my own blog template without the skills really necessary.

Still Tweaking

Still tweaking to see what I need to do!!! Okay I need to see how difficult this script is going to be to read when there is lots and lots of it on the page. Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country. Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country.
