What do you want most in life?LOVE,RICHES.HAPPINESS,PEACE,HEALTH?
What is your choice?Love,Riches,Happiness,Peace,Health.Does the choice depend on age,geographical location,luck,good fortune?or circumstance?I have always believed we create our good, or bad fortune to some extent.two stories from two different people,the first is of an elderly lady I know, the second is about an alternative heath specialist that I follow.
Elsie was a church member who often baby sat two little boysq, that I looked after.One evening she was reading bedtime stories when she heard a window smash downstairs,she heard someone downstairs.She hid the two boys in two seperate cupboards and went down stairs.There was a burglar in the house.Elsie greeted the burglar warmly.Would you like a cup of tea? he agreed.When the police arrived he and Elsie were sitting in the kitchen drinking tea,when ghe police arrived and arrested him,How plucky was that.The younger boy had problems sleeping after that so I sat with him every night till he went to sleep.That could hae gon disastrously wrong,she didnt panic but used communication skills.
The second story is about Doctor Mark Hyman,his sister died and he went through a divorce.Mark Hyman set out on a pilgrimage to a monastery in Bhutan,unadorned,as no-one,with nothing,seeking inner happiness.His belief was that the cultivation of happiness is that every moment in life should be valued as life is precious.To awaken to appreciate every moment is one of lifes greatest achievements.His journey with his daughter started in Paro with his daughter with very little except a guide,provisions and sleeping bags in 2012.paro is nested at 7000 ft.he started to dream of reconnecting wiyh loved oned passed,waking up on cold bitter mornings.Everythingwas unfamiliar as he and his daughger set off to the sacred godess mountain to Jomolhaedi the roof top of the world.the journey was not pleasant,and caused him to confront his fears and limits of the body.He was struck with how little people owned and on his return to America sent blankets to alliviate cold and hardship to many.They walked and walked past villages,where roads,and electricity were still absent in many parts of the country.Time stretched like a vast ocean.Living in poverty the Bhutanese were gracious,kind and generous,and imbued with knowledge of the impermanence of life and its cycles,of life death and rebirth.on his return to the States Mark Hyman became well known for alternative medicine,finding the root cause of illnesses and natural treatments with great success,

If Music Be the Food of Love…Play on!
If Music be the Food of Love Play on!
Do you live to eat,or eat to live.Food is perhaps my most expensive outlay,altho I eat simply.
Lots of fruit,veg a little meat,no dairy, tea or coffee,gluten free being celiac.Loved coffee but became allergic.w
So I eat to live,except for blueberries and strawberies and lots of fruit.The last two years fresh veg were in short supply,and sometimes supermarket shelves a bit empty due to lots of imports.People stocked up with large freezers.I had to buy a larger freezer.
Havent eaten Fast Food for years and years.I miss lots of delicious cakes but a new place just opened a Gluten free bakery so I must try that out,it looks good in the advertisements,opened by an Italian gluten-free patisserie chef.I will go with my friend who has a health shop.If its good, he will order from there.
He had problems with orders during lock down,as a lot of foods were imported,and the airports closed.
When summer arrives the shops now have gluten free icecream,before I had to travel miles to buy gluten free icecream,so thats a summer treat to look forward too.

I love the sea in all its moods.
I love the sea in all its moods
I love swimming in clear blue seas and idling on white sandy beaches,clambering over rock pools,fishing in rock pools,seeing starfish and collecting shells.Building sandcastles is fun too,burying grandmother in the sand.
Watching stormy seas is exciting,or watching the sunset over a calm sea,jumping waves,or sailing.In Australia I dove for and collected shells to make necklaces and mosaics.Collected fish skeletons, and played with live stingrays,watched sea horses and strange sea life.Sharks terrify.
The sea is a way of life for me.Sometimes I sit and watch the sea,or the ships in a nearby harbor,where I read and imagine sea battles unfolding efore me,
Margaret River WA was famous for surfers riding huge waves.
Many artists have captured the moods of the sea,or great ships.Mystery stories and adventures are woven around the sea…TheWreck of the Mary Deare,The unsinkable Titanic,Pirates of the Caribbean,The life of Pi,On the Beach.
As memes,gifs,movies,artists,paintings,pictures,stories abound,feel free to post your favorites.Most of all enjoy.
I live near the sea,but have not yet achieved a small beach house….dream.
