It seems my comment to friends yesterday shows as an html error, so I am repeating it today.
Good morning. It is a beautiful winter (?) morning here in sunny Queensland, which is living up to its motto: “Beautiful one day, perfect the next.”
Winter officially has another two weeks here, but apart from a couple of days when I wore a light cardy, we could be mistaken for thinking it was spring. I guess that means we are in for a steamy summer.
Whatever your weather, I hope you are enjoying your week and ready for a relaxing / achieving / challenging / fun / or whatever you’ve planned weekend. Make sure that you do at least one thing for yourself this weekend. You deserve to be pampered, even if you have to do it yourself.
A thought for the week: When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. So live your life that when you die, you are the one smiling and everyone around you is crying.
Good morning friends. Although I have popped in most days to respond to friends’ comments, messages, blogs etc I have not been able to send comments for some time. I have been working on a new project, not difficult but time consuming and demanding of full concentration. It is progressing well so I’m taking a break to greet my friends. I’ve missed the daily “chat” but I see many others have also been absent for some time.
We are in the last month of winter, but we have only had two days cold enough to wear more than a light cardy. I hope that doesn’t mean we’ll have a hotter than usual summer! If so, I might decide to migrate south!
My thought for the day is from Albert Einstein: Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.
My wish for the day: The discovery of a new ability and the joy of success - especially if after initial failure.
Happy Birthday All Sorts. I sincerely hope you have a happy day with family and friends and I wish for you all the very best things that you wish for yourself.
I leave tomorrow morning for Sydney, Adelaide and Port Lincoln where I will be presenting workshops regarding children’s ministry. I think I am almost ready, with just the last things to pack in the morning. I will be away for one week on a very tight schedule, so I will not have time to log in to yuwie or anywhere else.
As most of you know, I love my work, so here are a few quotes about work that appeal to me. Do you agree with them, or do you have a different outlook on work?
¶ Find a job you love doing and you’ll never have to work a day in your life
¶ The true way to happiness is to love your work and find your pleasure in it
¶ Work is either fun or drudgery. It depends on your attitude. I like fun.
¶ The reward for work well done is the opportunity to do more
¶ The secret of joy in work is contained in one word - excellence. To do something well is to enjoy it
