Thanks, these are things I’ve thought about for quite some time, after reading various philosophies, ideologies and having my own personal experiences thrown into the mix. I’m so glad my ideas have some value for you Amber, that makes it so worth while for me to share. π
Thanks Sandra as always for coming here, for sharing and for just being you (a cool gal) and for thinking of me for this nomination! π You definitely deserve this award you sweetie you! I’m going to say that at your blog site too! π
Wow! Penny. Thanks so much for your lovely words. I am smiling with happiness and joy. You truly deserve this award, you are so inspirational and always look on the bright side of life and that I love.
Yeah, I did it again just now on your site! Can’t help myself, privately I’m doing physical therapy a few times a week for a pinched nerve (bad fall over the holidays) still I managed to have every therapist there feeling a little better when I left this morning. Just my way of seeing life I guess! I do mean what I say however, always, Sandra my friend. xx

Totally. We all live our life and each do something amazing every day. Even if it is just interacting with someone else, it is something amazing. After all, you don’t know what will happen.
Yesterday I came out of a shop and gave Β£2 to a homeless guy who was sitting there, I told him to go into the take away and buy himself a chicken wrap. He thanked me On the way home I found Β£1 laying on the floor. So I got half back what I gave to him. Now THAT was amazing π
Yes it does. Sometimes though I wish I knew what it was playing at. When I see friends suffering when there is no need. Friends who I know are really nice people. and they are forced to suffer. A friend put me right on twitter yesterday as I made a rather … bleak tweet about it
The thing is Alastair we cannot allow ourselves to wonder why, when it comes to suffering. When it comes to pain, suffering in all forms we need to move immediately to a corrective path of our own thinking with what we do and how we do it so, as we can, we can then help more. That is the ‘true solution’ to The Why About This when it comes to suffering my most dear friend! Those answers I do have!
Thank you Penny. I suppose I always look at the reason something has happened; the “what have they done to deserve this”. Mother Theresa had one of my most favourite quotes, and I repeat it a lot – maybe too much. “I know God would never give me more than I can handle, I just wish sometimes he didn’t have so much faith me”
First off, she was an angel here on earth! second, we take care of ourselves first my friend! third, bless you for being a caring and loving person, and …with reference to Mother Teresa’s quote … he doesn’t – we do! π
Yes she was. She is definitely someone I believe should receive a sainthood .. sainting … saintathon … you know … be a saint. If Francis can be for looking after the animals, then she should be for looking after people. And how close she was to God.
This guy’s gonna be surprised when he discovers there’s no swimming pool. Gives new meaning to admonition “look before you leap”.
Really does Carl! π
Wonderful collection of inspiring ideas to try. I just updated my bucket list π Another great inspiration post!

Pinched nerve, yowch! That sounds painful. I hope the therapists are paying you for injecting them with positive energy.
It’s funny one of them said that same thing to me. (they were joking I think lol)
Could it be your new full-time profession? A positivologist?
I like it! yeah great idea! π
As the Nike advert says – Just do it!

Karma may not be understood well but it certainly does exist, doesn’t it? π

I agree!
Apparently the last pope made more saints than any other pope in history.
Well at least he was an activist! lol
Yes he was. And with that, I am heading off to bed. Good night Penny. Have a good day
Good Night Alastair, sweet dreams!
