Hello December – December the 1st – We open the first window in our advent calendar

Welcome December !

 

The Motto for December is:

Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

 

It had been a very different and hard year for the whole world.

Yet there is still always something good in every day.

This is what we need to celebrate.

We have adapted to the new normal and

we are still learning.

 

Love is always there and we need now more than ever.

Spread the love and kindness,

find something to celebrate everyday!

Sending my love all over the world to you

wishing you a peaceful December !

 

For December I will post a quote or saying every day

so you can “open” a window in my Advent Calendar.

♥ Enjoy ♥

My Christmas cactus

Last year in December I bought a Christmas Cactus as a gift for someone.

Before I could give it, all buds fell off so I kept it.

Over Spring Summer and Autumn I left it outside in the garden.

In September I noticed that it is forming many buds.

When it got colder in November I took it in.

Watching it every day with joy the buds got bigger.

Today is a very happy day!

They are opening:

 

 

What wonderful display, a beautiful red!

I am so overjoyed.

 

Flowers do make the world laugh!

Glow in the dark puzzle

Being a puzzle fan,

I did get a puzzle as a present.

Puzzles are just so relaxing for me!

A special one which glows in the dark.

I finished it quickly and waited for night time.

… in the dark…

Rather amazing.

Got more puzzles waiting…..

 

It’s always the small pieces,

which make the big picture.

A gift

I received some beautiful flowers.

I loved them so much, I wanted to share the beauty and joy with you.

A joy that’s shared is a joy made double.

Hello October!

Welcome October !

An Autumn month with many beautiful colours.

The Motto for October is:

Smile

Every year, on the first Friday in October we celebrate World Smile Day® since 1999.

Do an act of kindness,

make someone smile today.

Make the whole world smile.

Even if you can’t see the smile wearing a mask,

your smile shines in your eyes.

Make October a Smile Month,

there is lots to smile about,

there is lots to be happy about.

Even in hard times

find the small things,

beautiful things,

things which mean a lot,

and make you smile.

“Because of your smile, you make life more beautiful.”

Thich Nhat Hanh

“When things are difficult, smile by faith.

Don’t wait until you feel better.”

 Joel Osteen

 

Wishing you an awesome October with many smiles!

 

Love Corner

Ivy has grown over,

withered and left a

heart shape on the building.

Spread love wherever you can.

 

 

Sending some Sunshine to All

Sending everyone some sunshine.

Wishing you a wonderful Week. ♥

 

 

Hello September!

Welcome September !

The Motto for September is:

 

Make today awesome that yesterday gets jealous. 

 

Enjoy and celebrate each day,

be purposeful,

be focused,

be intentional,

bloom every day,

be happy.

Make every day count.

What you do today, may impact your future,

and will definitely create a past.

Create a past you love to remember.

 

 

Yesterday is gone.

Tomorrow has not yet come.

We have only today .

Let us begin.

Mother Theresa

 

Wishing you a really awesome September!
