Baverstock Road is the old Thomas Road, on the way to the Zoo, in north-east of Hamilton.

I chuckled when I saw the names of the roads in the new Everton Heights (close enough spelling).

I’m putting things I really want to keep on this blog. Bo.lt is breaking up and closing down; Facebook stuff gets lost in the news feed.

Be blessed by Chuck Girard’s rendition of Psalm 5. Worship the God of our morning and our days.

I read an article discussing phrases for encouraging children.

Here is my Pinterest board of various pics / posters that could be hung around the home, as reminders.

Happiness Blockers and Boosters

Happiness Blockers

• perfectionism – never good enough
• materialism – never enough
• entitlement – it’s my right

How to Harness More Happiness

1. Declutter you mind. Clean up small messes – develops willpower. The state of your bed is the state of your head.
2. Listen to music – whenever you’re down
3. Stick to a routine. Familiarity gives some security
4. Practice gratitude

Happiness Boosters

1. Fake a smile – put a pencil in your teeth
2. Get out in sunlight
3. Eat Omega 3 – good food
4. Yawn – several times, makes you more alert
5. Hugs – at least 8 lingering hugs per day (will be asking the Counsellor for an increase here!)

Guest, You’re Welcome Here

Guest, you are welcome here,
Be at your ease.
Get up when you’re ready,
Go to bed when you please.

We’re happy to share with you
Such as we’ve got,
The leaks in the roof
And the soup in the pot.

You don’t have to thank us
Or laugh at our jokes,
Sit deep and come often…
You’re one of the folks!

J.P. McEvoy, 1925

I’ve had this verse hanging on my fridge for about 30 years. It’s all faded and I wanted the words to recreate the banner.
