Why not dance - it is Friday.
This vibrant band were a great attraction at a boat race here in Saint-Pierre, Martinique several Sundays ago. Coffee, croissant, a band and a boat race. A perfect start to the day.
(The video wouldn't upload-but I am still having a perfect day)

Do you have a perfect day?
Do you have an image of what your perfect day would be?

"Good speech is silver but silence is pure gold" (St.Ephraim of Syria. 306-370. A teacher of repentance) I found this quote in my latest read, The way of a pilgrim translated by Helen Bacovcin. The charming tale of a nineteenth-century Russian peasant's quest across Russia for the secret of prayer. He wanted to know: How does one pray constantly.....?
In teaching silence can be a golden moment. And in day to day life too.
Do you treasure moments of silence?
Are you a silver or golden person?
How do you create those moments in your life?

HOW DO YOU CELEBRATE?
HOW HAVE YOU CHANGED HABITS?

100 days of stopping an old habit and rewiring my brain to behave in a new way. One that is serving me very well. The plan was just to stop. Then I started recording the days - at 70 I thought what about 90 days? Then what about 100? Once I got to 90 days I felt a success. And every morning starts with a tick on the sheet and a feeling of success. And saying it out loud too. It is a great way to energise my day by starting with a success. When I achieve a goal I like to mark it somehow. This bottle of Prosecco, which I may never drink, was my reward at 100 days. It is also a great beacon. It sits on my sideboard and my eyes are drawn to it and I think success. 101 days - maybe 120 days next. It is also important to remember the success and build on it.
