“When gratitude becomes your foundation,
joy becomes your natural state.”
In our busy lives,
it is so easy to overlook
the impact gratitude has
on our mental health and on our happiness.
When gratitude becomes a natural part
of our daily routine,
this ‘quality’ becomes a part
of our foundation in life,
and joy becomes who we are,
rather than a passing feeling.
This is an extremely
powerful and strong
way to live.
Also,
when we are grateful
for a certain person or persons in our lives,
our relationships become
happier and more peaceful.
The overall effect this will have
on the community we live in
is one of
happiness, strength and respect,
as well as peace and kindness.
Trust, cooperation and empathy
are ‘qualities’ that naturally build up
when gratitude is our foundation.
LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

Top tipple tricks
Been thinking a lot about drinking, lately. Not least because of a recent episode of over-indulgence and the inevitable after effects. Some readers may recall the earlier articles I wrote about beating the booze. Here I set out an experiment in techniques for cutting down on my alcohol intake. The experiment was successful, the techniques worked, and I have armed myself with an arsenal of weapons in the war against the demon drink. I have yet to fire the first round however. It's all a question of timing (perhaps procrastination).
