When you follow Monty Python and always look on the bright side, then life’s sweet enough without sugar.

Until the natropath mentioned it, we had no idea that a defficiency in calcium may arise through excessive sugar consumption.

Funny how the pharmaceutical companies don’t promote reducing your sugar intake when having calcium supplements.

All that extra sugar can quickly negate any gains in calcium.

Are you happy now?

If they can’t give you a script, it seems that medics can’t help you. Whilst medical research has been amazing, there’s also the downside of drug companies who are more focused on profits than people.

Things to be grateful for:
Naturopaths that aren’t treehuggers.
Small business owners that survive on honesty, integrity and customer service.
Service providers that aren’t totally focused on the bottom line.

After the workout at the gym today made a feeble attempt at Borlotti and Sausage soup – not one of our best creations.

What does a picture of happiness look like? For many it’s a great smile, or a sumptuous meal

We’re grateful for our hearing and our eyesight.

For being able to help other people.

Today has been spent negotiating deals with clients that we thought had lost interest.

Skyped George and found he’s recovering from heart surgery

When’s the last time you did something for the first time?

As the years go by it seems that we have less opportunity to do new things because we’ve already done them.

Today we were filming a couple of videos to add to the landing page on one of our websites.

Not being a dog lover, it was quite a surprise to be picking up a minature poodle!

Woke early to write some story board scripts. Somehow you can get more done with self imposed deadlines.

The gym session this afternoon was a challenge. So was a phone call from a bookkeeper who may /not be interested in buying a bookkeeping business.

As things transpired we believe they were tyre kickers.

There was a series of adverts in Britain – Happiness is a cigar called Hamlet – hence “having a hamlet moment”

A hamlet moment is when everything seems to go wrong, and since there’s nothing you can do about it, you may as well light a cigar and watch all your problems vanish in a cloud of smoke.

Three new things to be grateful for:
Having a support group to throw ideas at – where there’s no hidden agendas
Being able to pluck a fresh lemon from our lemon tree
Finding our clothes are too big which means we’ve lost excess weight.

Today we received our merchant facilities machine so clients can find it easier to make payments.

Spoke to a bookkeeper in Nairobi, Kenya on Skype. Looks like we’ll be able to help him grow his business

Yesterday we spoke to a young comedian who was ” justifying” that swearing was an important ingredient in comedy.

It’s used to shock the audience – apparently!

When used in every sentence there seems little of the shock factor left.

Maybe comedians these days lack an adequate vocabulary or have no command of the english language.

We were reminded about an Abbott and Costello skit – “Who’s on First“

Real Comedy.

No sexual references, genitalia, or bad language

Here’s a new challenge to contemporary Australian “comedians”: create a funny skit without any of the above.

We have some beautiful roses flowering in our garden today.

A couple of lorakeets were splashing in the birdbath.

We watched “Soul Surfer” last night. We are blessed to have all our limbs.

Spoke to a potential client this morning – she really needs our help.

Had a personal training session this afternoon. Fighting the lethargy and struggling to put on a positive face

Still hunting to find some time in meditation

Unless we are out in a shopping, or such like just wondering how we perform a random act of Kindness
