Beyond tragic life

Pick someone you know, wife, hubby, kid, friend or family and give them a short funny nick name.
Lets say Ricki, I picked as a funny nickname for a friend I know, now just write what they are doing and short things about them.

Ricki is Watching television, his smart, enjoys games and organising and displaying. If you can write more add more.

Alright make a funny nickname for you. Tich I created for me.
By doing this you notice how much you know more about you and can add more to your list then you can about someone else.

Me~Tich: Loves dancing, reading, watching t.v, listening to music, writing, playing games, talking, creating, exploring, communicating, learning, doing, trying something new, going out, fireworks, enjoys celebrations such as Christmas, New year, Halloween, Australia day and others, nature, garden, gardening, watching movies with the family, teaching kids and learning about their potential, decorating through art, to a Christmas tree to creative beautiful display with flowers, stickers, ornaments. Enjoys meditation and healing through massage, through inspirational words and more...

Obviously your list will be different.

Sometimes all you need is a different perspective to spice up your life. To enjoy life, to feel alive again. Anything can jump start you into feeling great about your own life. Same is true in finding whats wrong with life and this world, believe me I been there, where you see all is dismal and no hope for humanity, what have I done bringing kids in this war zone world of illness and deceit. But really it is true but so is a different perspective. The reality is life is what you make it. You want it to be a beautiful world, then you have to create it, you have to make it good, that is the one thing all people are capable of, is doing so much good with their life. All they need is to switch their thoughts and realise they have so much potential. You see everyone creating everyday a good or bad life and it starts with today. What good can you do with your life? How can you improve?

Do you believe in yourself? If you don't, that's a good start. Believe in yourself, honestly there is something inherently good in you to make a good life. So the best place to start in believing in yourself, is your thoughts that make you feel not good about yourself. Cut them out completely. It takes time but its worth it. There's a thing about giving you a break, you start giving everyone a break. By being less critical about yourself, you feel less critical of others. So realise by believing in yourself, not only does it improve you, it effects also those around you.

Now as I started this out as~ It starts with today. How can you improve your day? Lets start with how you view this world. If its like a vast amount of people's views, you are not alone thinking life can be like hell. You most likely can add a whole heap to your list, why this world can break people and you are far from being alone in that feeling. Why enjoy life? Life is a burden. This is going on, that is going on. So there is no room for joy or appreciation, right. Wrong.

When you look through the world with big bug eyed eyes, through vast many others views and tragic news, you will feel overwhelmed. So lets just put that aside and just look at your square of the place, not whats going on out there but where your living. This is your creative space. How can you change things. Just say a table top at your place. Just by tidying it up and re arranging things, maybe just adding a little something to brighten up the space.

Just by doing that, you have already seen you can change your whole space, give it new life, new energy, the same with this site your on now. By adding this, changing that, putting this, creates a special place. What you put into something creates a change. Makes things special. This is the same as what you put into yourself as a person. The more you learn, the more you create, the more you do to improve yourself, no matter what  happens in life you are fully capable to make a great life.

You see everyday, people creating things with their life, but a lot don't realise their potential, and usually make a wreck of their own lives and those of others. To make a good life, you have to create it, same with a disaster of a life. Know now that you have created this life you are in, by everything you watch, read, think, believe and what you do.

Just a last thought about this tragic painful life. Look again. Pessimism is a worldly trait and makes life look bleak and black. No matter what tragic life people have gone through, there is enormous potential to improve, create, to help, to enjoy life, to appreciate.

Everyday I love the sunset, sunrise, nature, flowers, music, happy new year fire works. Keep looking and you will always find something good about life.

Happy new year everyone. May you all find potential in today, your every day, something to smile about, something to appreciate, something new to learn, new to do, create something new, to appreciate someone and send a card.

Life ain't to shabby, when your feeling savvy!

Tea for two

Went for a drive out and got ice cream cones for kids, mainly had to drop rented DVDs while out. We had it only for one day hire. Slowly all in family kicking the flu we got at the start of the holidays. Was lucky this time, didn't get the flu.

Sitting down with nice hot cuppa tea my daughter made me and her dad.

A hopeful shift

It is actually quite late, 1:30am. Tiny bit tired and will go to sleep soon, thought would write tomorrow but decided to write now.

Interesting day, checked out a place possibly a new place to move to. Would be so great so much bigger cheaper, can let go of the factory we are renting, and on 1 acre of land, just a lot of saving and also beautiful place.

Happy that a friend is okay after some talking, that she is not as worried as I thought, just happy to yak with her and know she was okay was a good feeling, mostly why am up late. It is the holidays but I don't want to make a habit of staying up all holidays, mainly cause you feel crappy the next day and the day just goes when you sleep in, so good to not stay up to late.

Had a good day, took kids to the park then shared big batch of hot chips.

Turkey and more

I finally got to watch Snow white and the Huntsman. I really did enjoy this movie, really not sure what I was expecting but surprisingly this was well done and my family all enjoyed it. I didn't realise the Hunstman was the actor who also played in the Thor Movie.

I have a funny gift, talent if you could call it that, to tell faces from famous people to their younger pictures or to older pictures. I do enjoy movies and actors. I would be watching an old or later movie and immediately I recognise a face who they are. People who would be watching with me can't recognise them but I can, I would tell them who the person was, and sometimes they say no its not, but 98 percent of the time I am right. But this talent has only been so far enjoyment and funny curiosity. As I always check up if I am right.

Two nights in a row, I been spoilt by my husband, who made two nights of yummy turkey dinner, and I better not let him cook to much as my stomach has taken a bigger and satisfied bulge. First night I made a yummy desert of caramel hot pudding with banana's and custard, banana's actually went quite well. A friendly neighbour didn't have a lot of good food in cupboard, so they also enjoyed with us some yummy turkey last night. My husband had made his own turkey stuffing of walnut's and apple, breadcrumbs, think had wine in it and some other herbs and it was very scrumptious, went well with veggies gravy and mash potato.

Been spending more time when I can in the maintenance of the garden and putting wood chips so moisture stays in the earth when watered, gets really hot this summer and can dry up the ground a lot. Also the wood chips make the garden more beautiful. When ever I go out in the garden really brings me back in harmony and peace with myself. The butterflies flying around, flowers here and there, birds flying high above, maybe its the green trees and grass, but it brings a feeling of good energy, revitalising.

I am back just a little bit of re gaming in world of warcraft, my husband and kids love this game. Was good to catch up with my husbands old friend, he hasn't been on for 5 months or so. But for Christmas his wife and son got him the new Pandaria upgrade.
 I was at one point, I felt addicted to this game, but all changed when I quit smoking 3 years or so ago. Quitting smoking was the best thing I done, it showed me how anybody can get so caught up in anything and feel powerless. Your mind is a funny thing, if you keep doing something as a habit, you will feel pulled to do the same thing over and over again, so change habits, find a healthy solution and keep doing that. You will find repetition is a powerful source that can help you or leave you powerless. So choose well your habits.

I enjoyed the turbo Billion Bubble generator husband set it up at night time for kids to see what it was like, the bubbles were a nice size and kids enjoyed it. It really went well at night as the Christmas lights in the back ground made the bubbles look almost like colourful translucent alien bubble spaceship. Like with all the flashing lights, really did look magic at night time. I really do love bubbles, can you get to old for bubbles. Here's some bubble giant magic, I bet all the kids and even adults had a ball at the beach that day. utube link<<

The night before Christmas this Santa's helper wore herself out wrapping a lot of presents. I love giving and wrapping presents but not so many at once, would of wrapped earlier if had a great place to hide things. But the tree glittering in the background and 101 presents surrounding looked magic, probably not 101 presents but sure felt and looked like it lol. But seeing kids happiness and wow looks was worth it all. My seven year old, after along 2-3 hours setting up her dolls house, was over joyed. I had no idea how many parts there was to a doll house. Was great to hear from a good friend who called. My husband cooked turkey late so will be having it this day, his a great cook.

I hope all had a great Christmas, if not into Christmas, a good day.

Those days

If you ever have those days when you think life is not great. Remeber you are not alone, many have felt that way and have gone past through it. Just some words to lift your spirits.

Always look for something good always grateful, things are surprisingly different when you think that way.

The power of stress in your body is damaging, just makes you wonder what the power of a happy heart can do for your life and body.

When worrying, you have taken life to seriously. Step back and allow good humour and lighter way of thinking into your life.

Get past the belief that you deserve little, because you will only get what you believe.

Expect good outcomes, imagine yourself smiling and completing your goal, gives you a new sense of drive.

Enjoy life and pay more attention to what you do, with the focus of seeing what you can accomplish, sometimes you can surprise yourself.

When you read peoples positive inspiration, you know they are special. They breath new life into your world.

New focus and new perspectives shows the inner strength in you.

As u do things with more passion and love,surrounding places change, harmony of home and work changes, you change

Those days that get you down, remember they are just thoughts, & thoughts can be changed, no feeling is stagnent 24 hours 7 days a week

When ever I don't feel great the simple words I appreciate, life I appreciate this, him/her for.. appreciation brings peace, calm

What is going right? Write it down gets you moving forward, when you focus whats going wrong doesn't help you and doesn't make you feel good

When we look at the world with wonder and awe, we see possibilities, but with dim eyes only shadows

 May your day be happy and your thoughts be light (helpful, inspiring, kind, happy :D ) enjoy your week and happy Christmas all & a good following year a head :D

Happy joyful Christmas

Today I did as much as I could, cleaning house. Have a house inspection soon, that usually gets me into spring cleaning mode, more of a stress then an enjoyment. But today had fun sorting and cleaning girls room. They kept what toys they liked and they let go what they didn't, which were pretty nice dolls which we gave to neighbours little girl. She loved them. House work is not my fave. But these days have let go of limiting blocks check work, on good reads, that I wrote. ~Every work I do will bring success for my moment~
Work does do you good in so many ways.
Bible quote~ “From the fruit of his mouth a man is satisfied with good, and the work of a man’s hand comes back to him.” (Proverbs 12:14).
 I am not an over religious person but I like the wisdom of the bible. To me it's alot of common sence. Like this next bible quote~ A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones. (Proverbs 17:22).

Since been doing the positive thinking, being more grateful more positive, I can't help myself, I keep smiling more and feeling happy alot. I don't think will ever go back the way I used to be. You know just the general worry wort, worry about this worry about that, worry about the future. When you are a mum you have endless worries.
But I realise now, how easy peace is to come about. Meditation helps, I don't do lots of meditation, if I can in the morning will do at least 5 mins or more if I can. Just gives me peace and it does make a difference. I used to just do an odd meditation once in 6 months and not worry about my thoughts but now, I am aware to keep thoughts positive, I am no saint so yeh will have my days. But I don't dwell on problems I try not to get caught up to much on the news. Life has turned more happy more fullfilling. Like this evening am just so happy enjoying my husband getting into the Christmas spirit and no joke, our house looks like a Christmas tree right now. Actually looks beautiful, he done a great job, but you can't look to long at the flashing lights, makes your eyes go funny.
I am an "lol", girl. I try not to use lol so much but makes me happy to use those simple 3 letters lol, because life is good when its full of laughter and smiles.

Sharing a bit more Christmas spirit a Christmas song I wrote a month or so back.

 Christmas Joy

It's that time of excitement,
When children sparkle with wishes
Thinking of all the things and dreaming,
Wishing believeing, and hoping.
Everywhere you go signs of Christmas cheer gliitter,
In signs of windows and shopping centres where ever you go
In windows of home sweet homes, lighting up their yards,
In dazzling light displays a promise of good times
A promise of good food and time together with family, relatives and friends.
Thoughts of the heart come forth at this time
Thoughts of giving, sharing and recieving
People starting to wish people blessings on Christmas cards
Christmas tunes pop up in our minds,
Like joyful reminders.

Is it time to pop up that Christmas tree yet?
It is a jolly time when things get joyful
All the excitement bound up as one.
Give cheer give cheer give from your heart
There is so much good times when you have a loving heart,
Give joyfully, recieve happily
May this remind us that magic is in our hearts.
Magic is near.
The children will show you excitement and good cheer.
And it reminds us that Christmas is near.
And may all,
I wish for all, a jolly good year!!!!!

Just focusing on the good and writing

 Was good to get a couple books at the library and pay off an old fee, library had taken the fee off, but I felt good just paying off the money owed. I love writing so got books about writing and of course a positive thinking book.
Was nice eating prawns the other night haven't had that for awhile, went well with a nice salad and smoked salmon. Okay just getting hungry talking about this. Was a great but strange day, in the past, I would of feared about 2012 and the end of days with the Mayan Calendar. But I learnt fear and worry is just a waste of energy and how many times has dooms day been predicted. I think if it happens it happens, but mean while, why stress. Went out into town with family to pick up a couple of things we had for kids on lay buy, was funny to see so many people out and about then usual, especially around pubs area. I think a lot were celebrating end of days. We, my husband and me, had a lot on lay buy for Christmas, was so great for unexpected money to come which we so needed, like we are fine but with Christmas around the corner, just was so awesome to get all the lay buy's out, and just can't wait to see the smiles on the kids faces on Christmas morning. Hard to believe only three or so days till Christmas, I have some major wrapping to do. Today was last day of school for kids, you can just hear the sigh of relief and grins on their faces, so I think they will enjoy their holidays. My disabled daughter who is now 14 years old, for the first time came home with school homework, was glad as she loves school and I know she will miss school. I want to keep up this blog, as a personal empowerment tool, just focusing on the good. And to write more, I have liked writing when I was a kid just playing with words in poetry, I never really thought it would be something I would be passionate about. Sharing a poem I wrote.

Underneath
Underneath your hidden tears,
Your dreams lie waiting.
You cover them up
You hide them
Not wanting to take a look
For your heart will start aching.
Is this the sadness we face
The hidden dreams covered up
With a heavy cloak
Called depression.
You hidden it so far down
But it echoes and calls.
You post pone it, post pone it.
So many things to keep your mind on.
The fear is really the fear of your dreams failing.


Sounds depressing now I look at it, but you get so caught up in life, you hide some gift in you that wants to express yourself through art or some form. Or may be its just me lol. No, I know there are a great number of people who love creating. My 16 year old loves drawing, always amazes me how good she keeps getting and the passion that drives her. And lately I have been the same way with writing, I am not sure where its going to take me but will follow this passion because I love it. So I don't think to expect life to end to soon too much to live for, why stress, why worry. May you always find something to live for and something to be passionate about.

Good days and christmas tree

Finally got Christmas tree finished, funny how magic a tree looks when all the lights and decorations are on. Looks simply magic. Had a great day out at the beach the day before. The sun was just nice the weather fine, the beach where we went was high tide, so spent most of the time at a kids park where my kids enjoyed the swings and the slide and other funny hanging swings. My 17 month old son enjoyed it the most. He was having fun climbing up the stairs and freaking me out as other side has a nice long drop. So had to make sure he went the slide way. He really enjoys the slide.

 Happy and surprised lovely gifts from neighbour for kids, present for my daughters 7th birthday and next day gave my daughter brats dolls curtains. My daughter was like Brats Dolls!! As shes more into Dora Explora and others, but I explained to her is the thought that counts nice to recieve a gift, better then not being thought of at all. So she was happy and decided to give her two last yummy parts of her birthday cake to neighbours two young kids.

Just three short utube video's, Christmas spirit :D Wishing all a wonderful week or two ahead :D

Seeing happiness in simple things

I really haven't wrote on here much, yesterday was my daughters 7th birthday, she was very happy with her cake and lovely surprises and really enjoyed McDonalds McFlurrey which we don't get to often. It is enjoyable to see kids happy with simple things, like balloons and decorations having fun and playing and laughing with friends. May you always find something good in every day.

Staying positive, images you hold in your mind

Today I wanted to share Food for thought...

There is a saying a picture is worth a thousand words, what does this say to you when you have 7 pictures in your home of the same thing, can this reflect on your life and personal relationship's Marie Diamond from the secret tells us about a man..continued, drawing can be more powerful then we think, man and his drawings of Mercedes Benz,
we don't dream in words, we dream in pictures, be aware whats in your surroundings and images you hold in your mind.
Just food for thought:) Wishing all a lovely & happy week<3

Song I created

Bit funny, but joyful:)

Butterflies fly not caring how beautiful they are

Green so green,
Nearly cast my shadows away,
Green so green
Living life for today.

Blue so blue,
The skies are blue today,
They cast my grays, in my life away.

Living on laughter
Makes you want to play everyday
Cast my fears away
Everyday live in joy "A" "oy!
Yes!!! Live in joy!

(Whistle tune)

They say there's no silver lining,
But! I tell you now,
There's a star if you look right in your heart, heart.
Cast your shadow's away,
When you give your life to joy.

Green so green is the colour of the fields we play and
The sun come out today.

Living on laughter,
Joy come into my heart.
Kissing sunshine, kissing rainbows,
Soar your spirit to the sky,
Wash those rain clouds away.

Melting the ice!!

Warming the hearts,
Don't think your life so seriously.

Living on laughter,
Fill your heart with joy.
Babies giggle, Mums grin,
People dancing.
Who needs a chorus, us, us.

Watching the ocean waves,
Wash over me,
Living in the moment wonderously
Clouds airn't built with hay,
Don't you give up today!
Be that "butterfly", and "fly"!

spectacular nature

This video reminded me the day I watched a group of birds this is so spectacular of nature. This was shared by a nice lady. Hope you enjoy and be as fasinated as I am.

Amazing bird flock

Love for life

Had to share this beautiful picture.

I found this picture a long time ago. Reminds me to stay connected to that inner harmony and love for life. There is something about nature, waterfalls, water, gardens that is a real refresher. So good to find it again.

Celebrated Australia day yesterday, was a gorgeous day, live band, kids face painted, lots of sun, nice BBQ, kids got a tiny bit sunburnt but they had a ball.

Share short piece I wrote, I call it imaginings.

Beach

Walking each step in the warm sand, sand between my toes.
Feel the water wash my feet at the beach,
Warmth of the sun on my back,
Giggling and talking with my friend,
Watching kids laughing chasing sea gulls,
Salty taste as I lick my lips.
Light sea breeze blow thru my hair,
Small soft clouds slowly passing by way up high in the sky,
A little wind is enough to keep the pretty dragon kite a glide,
Long streamy tail waving in the wind.

In the distance surfy’s sitting on their board,
Waiting to catch that next big wave.
Aroma of sausages, steak cooking at a near by BBQ
Hear people happy chatting as the sausage’s sizzling.
Feel the coolness of the sun lotion as I massage it on my skin
The sweet pleasant aroma of coconut as I breath in slowly through my nose
Soaking up the lovely day, feeling the goodness of this new day.

Good to get back into riding

I haven't wrote in a while, but in the back of my mind my love for writing is there. Been having a busy fun holidays with kids & family. I am very happy getting back into bike riding. I used to ride or walk for miles, but being a mum I don't do that as often, or maybe that's a good excuse. But any ways good to get back into it again. I enjoy the feeling of racing my bike down flights of staires, that was when I was a teen, not sure if I'll be riding like that again. When I used to walk and walk for miles, one time I walked so much I knew had to catch a bus back. There is freedom in walking and riding a bike. I haven't got that feeling in riding a car, maybe cause not so confident in driving, which hoping soon will change as practice makes perfect.

Lovely day

I was happy doing gardening when I stopped what I was doing, was fascinated by the awesome display, the flock of birds were weaving back and forth for a good 10-15 mins. Was very beautiful to watch, if only had a video camera handy. When you just stop everything, thats when you see the most.

Sweet

I think that would have to be the best new year wish for all:)

Sharing a poem I wrote, have a guess what it is before you reach the bottom.

Sweet

Pleasant sweet scent
The glory of you
As my eyes watch you,
My souls in harmony
My eyes wide
Searching, dreaming
The exquisite intoxication
Of thine sight is
My hearts delight.
Always excitement,
Fresh, new.
The thought of the
Creation of you, magnificent
Extraordinary.
How did you become?
In so many infinite wonders
And splendours to be hold.
When I pick you,
I know your mine for a time.
The gift of you.

Is to touch the heart.
That is your splendour.

Flowers,
Always inviting
Thank you,
sweet flowers.
