At last warmth.....................

I have spent the last seven days without heating and hot water (save boiling kettles and pans). The plumber came tonight with more parts and fixed the boiler at the forth attempt.
A HOT bath and warm rooms are such a joy!

Lying under the palm on holiday

It was two weeks ago now;but I can still feel the warmth on that beautiful island of Gran Canaria.

Today's Thought

Times of trouble can be useful. They can show you who you really are, what kind of character you have developed. Troubled times help you grow stronger. Don't complain about your problems. The trouble you face today is training you to be strong in future difficulties. Remember, you are NOT alone unless you choose to be.

"If you falter in times of trouble, how small is your strength."
-Proverbs 24:10

The Rules

Every sixty seconds you spend angry, upset or sad, is a full minute of happiness you'll never get back.
Life is short, Break the rules, Forgive quickly, Kiss slowly, Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably, And never regret anything that made you smile.
Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we're here we should dance.
