Monday’s Insight: Good parenting recipe

Oct 27, 2008 Mommy talk, Monday's Insight, Parenting

I love these beautiful words of wisdom from the book “Recipe for Good parenting by Cheryl Saban” … the book I’m reading right now… let me share some of my favorites:

Building Confidence:
Encourage your kids to reach for their dreams, and give them the security of knowing that they’ll still be loved, even if they sometimes fail.

Don’t always demand perfection:
What is perfection, anyway? Remember theat every child is unique, different and special in his or her own way. Celebrate that specialness in your child, and just expect them to be the best they can be!

Give unlimited Hugs and Kisses:
Good parenting requires PATIENCE and a sense of humour… even at 3AM in the morning :)

Happy a great week ahead!



Mondays Insight: Simplicity

Oct 20, 2008 Monday's Insight

It’s another Monday and I want to share these wonderful thoughts:

It is not enough if you are busy. The question is, What are you busy about?
~ Henry David Thoreau

There are two ways to get enough: one is to continue to accumulate more and more. The other is to desire less.
~ G.K. Chesterton

Living beneath your means is the only route to take to enjoy a secure and comfortable standard of living throughout your working and retirement years. Living beneath your means isn’t a suggestion. It’s an imperative.
~ Jonathan D. Pond

Have a beautiful Monday to all and great week ahead… :)

Monday’s Insight: Keep Smiling :-)

Oct 13, 2008 Monday's Insight




Happy Monday to all… I have this beautiful insight that I’d like to share with you….
such good start for another week for us… Keep Smiling :-)

If at times you feel you want to cry
And life seems such a trial
Above the clouds theres a bright blue sky
So make your tears a smile.

As you travel on lifes way
With its many ups and downs
Remember its quite true to say
One smile is worth a dozen frowns.

Among the worlds expensive things
A smile is very cheap
And when you give a smile away,
You get one back to keep.

Happiness comes at times to all
But sadness comes unbidden
And sometimes a few tears must fall
Among the laughter hidden.

So when friends have sadness on their face
And troubles round them piled
The world will seem a better place
And all because you smiled.

Anonymous

Have a great week ahead. And remember Keep Smiling :)




Monday’s Insight: Life

Oct 6, 2008 Monday's Insight




A nice reflection worth sharing to all…

Everyone says, “How the time flies.” The days go by and they are years, and the years finally become our whole life. Each daily portion can be wasted, or it can be a pleasure, before it is gone forever. If a bedtime review of the day concludes that we were too stressed, too busy, didn’t accomplish anything, didn’t have any fun, then it has been another lost piece of precious life.

Perhaps we are putting off our enjoyment until we have more time, or money, or some other improved condition. The trouble with that is that it might never happen, or it may be too long in coming. It’s so important to accept this time, this very minute, as something of tremendous value that will very soon be gone forever. There are many ways to ensure that we make the best of our time here on earth.

In our daily routine let’s include time to enjoy others and thus ourselves. Look and wonder at the trees, fields and mountains, smell the flowers, hear the birds, and watch the clouds in the sky.

“This world, after all our science and sciences, is still a miracle; wonderful, magical and more, to whosoever will think of it.” - Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881)

Have a wonderful Monday to all….
