A Christians way to reduce stress
An Angel says, "Never borrow from the future. If you worry about what may
happen tomorrow and it doesn't happen, you have worried in vain. Even if it
does happen, you have to worry twice."
1. Pray
2. Go to bed on time.
3. Get up on time so you can start the day unrushed.
4. Say No to projects that won't fit into your time schedule, or that will
compromise your mental health.
5. Delegate tasks to capable others.
6. Simplify and unclutter your life.
7. Less is more.. (Although one is often not enough, two are often too
many.)
8. Allow extra time to do things and to get to places.
9. Pace yourself. Spread out big changes and difficult projects over time;
don't lump the hard things all together.
10. Take one day at a time.
11. Separate worries from concerns. If a situation is a concern, find out
what God would have you do and let go of the anxiety. If you can't do
anything about a situation, forget it.
12. Live within your budget; don't use credit cards for ordinary purchases.
13 . Have backups; an extra car key in your wallet, an extra house key
buried in the garden, extra stamps, etc.
14. K.M.S. (Keep Mouth Shut). This single piece of advice can prevent an
enormous amount of trouble.
15. Do something for the Kid in You everyday.
16. Carry a Bible with you to read while waiting in line.

20. Listen to a tape while driving that can help improve your quality of
life.
21. Write down thoughts and inspirations.
22. Every day, find time to be alone.
23. Having problems? Talk to God on the spot.. Try to nip small problems in
the bud. Don't wait until it's time to go to bed to try and pray.
24. Make friends with Godly people.
25. Keep a folder of favorite scriptures on hand.
26. Remember that the shortest bridge between despair and hope is often a
good "Thank you Jesus."
27. Laugh.
28. Laugh some more!
29. Take your work seriously, but not yourself at all.
30. Develop a forgiving attitude (most people are doing the best they can).
31. Be kind to unkind people (they probably need it the most).
32. Sit on your ego.
33. Talk less; listen more.
34. Slow down.
35. Remind yourself that you are not the general manager of the universe.

you've never been grateful for before.

The unpleasures of flu!
Who wants the flu?
Not me,,but alas i seem to have fallen prey to the dastardly thing this week.
Heres my diary of the week so far!
Mon ~ Felt ok but tired
Tues~ Headache,aching joints, sore throat bunged up feeling.
Weds ~ WoW it hit me big time, could hardly get out of bed. Unfortunately i had to get up to sort my daughter out and get her to school.
Thurs ~ Daughter wasn't well either so we spent the whole day curled up on the sofa under a duvet. Most of it watching children's tv to keep her occupied in between sleeping. Never realised how mind numbing that can be.
Fri ~ Neither of us still well, so yet another day under the duvet.
Have been virtualy living on sarnies as not got the energy to cook.
Daughter usually sees her dad on Saturday but at 8pm thought she wouldn't be well enough to go,,,so tried to phone him,,hmm phone switched off (typical) doesn't usually answer if i phone anyway. So I sent him a text. Just a short one to say sorry wont be coming as sick,,you know short and sweet. No reply until this morning. Just a curt thanks for letting us know. I dont think he believed me, but thats his perogative. Certainly not going to make ourselves worse by going out in horrendous weather. (its been snowing on and off for the past 2 days) If he was that desperate to see her he could come visit her. Dont think his new wife would appreciate that though.
What is it with absent parents, once they get someone else involoved in their lives their past one seems to out of the window in most cases. This is such a shame as i would love my daughter to spend more time with her dad,,but alas thats something he doesnt want. I'll be patient and bide my time. Daughter will be old enough to work that out soon. Sorry i digress
Today Sat ~ Daughter still in bed at 10.00am. Both of us are still feeling sick but a little better i think. Still got runny nose and headache but dont seem to ache too much. Praise God. We will see as the day progresses.
Probably won't go to church in the morning as i want to be back at work and daughter at school on Monday if at all possible. God willing!!
I want to thank all of my friends for their healing prayers, for the calls and offers of shopping. Where would i be without you guys. Thanks a lot and may God bless you all.

When we were kids!!
According to today's regulators and bureaucrats, those of us who were kids in the 60's, 70's and early 80's probably shouldn't have survived, because:
1.Our baby cots were covered with brightly coloured lead-based paint which was promptly chewed and licked.
2.We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, or latches on doors or cabinets and it was fine to play with pans.
3.When we rode our bikes, we wore no helmets, just flip-flops and fluorescent 'spokey dokey's' on our wheels.
4.As children, we would ride in cars with no seat belts or airbags - riding in the passenger seat was a treat.
5.We drank water from the garden hose and not from a bottle and it tasted the same.
6.We ate chips, bread and butter pudding and drank fizzy juice with sugar in it, but we were never overweight because we were always outside playing.
7.We shared one drink with four friends, from one bottle or can and no one actually died from this.
8.We would spend hours building go-carts out of scraps and then went top speed down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes.
9.After running into stinging nettles a few times, we learned to solve the problem.
10. We would leave home in the morning and could play all day, as long as we were back before it got dark. No one was able to reach us and no one minded.
11. We did not have Play stations or X-Boxes, no video games at all.
12. We did not have 99 channels on TV, no videotape movies, no surround sound, no mobile phones, no personal computers, no DVDs, no Internet chat rooms. We had friends - we went outside and found them.
13. We played elastics and rounders, and sometimes that ball really hurt!
14. We fell out of trees, got cut and broke bones but there were no law suits.
15. We had full on fist fights but no prosecution followed from other parents.
16. We played chap-the-door-run-away and were actually afraid of the owners catching us.
17. We walked to friends' homes.
18. We also, believe it or not, WALKED to school; we didn't rely on mummy or daddy to drive us to school, which was just round the corner.
19. We made up games with sticks and tennis balls.
20. We rode bikes in packs of 7 and wore our coats by only the hood.
21. The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke a law was unheard of ... They actually sided with the law. This generation has produced some of the best risk-takers and problem solvers and inventors, ever. The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas. We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned how to deal with it all. And you're one of them. Congratulations!
Pass this on to others who have had the luck to grow as real kids, before lawyers and government regulated our lives, for our own good. For those of you who aren't old enough, I thought you might like to read about us. This, my friends, is surprisingly frightening......and it might put a smile on your face:
The majority of students in universities today were born in 1986 ........
They are called youth.
They have never heard of We are the World, We are the children, and the Uptown Girl they know is by Westlife not Billy Joel.
They have never heard of Rick Astley, Bananarama, Nena Cherry or Belinda Carlisle.
For them, there has always been only one Germany and one Vietnam.
AIDS has existed since they were born.
CD's have existed since they were born.
Michael Jackson has always been white.
To them John Travolta has always been round in shape and they can't imagine how this fat guy could be a god of dance.
They believe that Charlie's Angels and Mission Impossible are films from last year.
They can never imagine life before computers.
They'll never have pretended to be the A Team, Red Hand Gang or the Famous Five.
They'll never have applied to be on Jim'll Fix It or Why Don't You.
They can't believe a black and white television ever existed.
And they Will never understand how we could leave the house without a mobile phone.
Now let's check if we're getting old...
1 You understand what was written above and you smile.
2. You need to sleep more, usually until the afternoon, after a night out.
3. Your friends are getting married/already married.
4. You are always surprised to see small children playing comfortably with computers.
5.When you see teenagers with mobile phones, you shake your head.
6. You remember watching Dirty Den in EastEnders the first time around.
7. You meet your friends from time to time, talking about the good Old days, repeating again all the funny things you have experienced together.
8 Having read this mail, you are thinking of forwarding it to some other friends because you think they will like it too...Yes, you're getting old too.

Christmas celebrations
Our small tree.
This is the humble table. I Dont like to be over extravagant with the table decor. My 7 year old daughter made the centre piece with the help of a friend of mine.
Theres nothing better than sharing the Christmas meal with close family and friends.
