Hi
This morning has been incredible already and its very early in the morning still! Firstly, It is a stunning beautiful day, the sun is shining and it is a little chilly, but not demotivatingly cold, just jersey cool. It is a clear day, and the sky is spectacular, a vibrant lovely fresh shade of blue.
My two gorgeous dogs were really very friendly and loving this morning, and so full of energy and bounce. I will have to take them for a walk today, despite being quite busy with lots of work to do in preparation for a busy week next week.
My precious hubby brought me a fabulous cup of coffee, just the way I like it, with a piece of homemade marmalade toast, without me even asking, and read me some very funny jokes from his forum.
My daughter and I have decided that we do not know enough about current affairs, and so we realise that we need to become more aware, and know more about what is going in the world. (Kev even knew that there is a global warming summit happening somewhere... could be because it is winter here and everyone has a heater on!)
What started that was that we were talking about being self-aware, and we said that you cannot change your basic personality, but you can change your behaviours, and attitudes and approaches. We spent far too long on the phone talking about this, but discussing major important issues about things does take time. :)
We have so much still to learn - Miss South Africa , was quoted as an example: She is stunning on the outside, but also on the inside and is so confident and poised, and she radiates great real inner beauty. She is elegant, and gentle, and holds herself so upright with good posture.
Also, what about Ed Jordan? He was talking on 3-talk apparently and when it was his turn to discuss the Sun City event about art, international chefs, fashion and celebrities he was so articulate and spoke eloquently, he exudes confidence too. He used powerful words, like " You will be bombarded by an explosion of international cuisine from renowned chefs" Another guy on that same program did not really articulate himself so well, and the more effective person was Ed Jordan. Two more people came on to discuss about the fashion and one was smiling and friendly, and one was not.
So, what profound stuff have I learned today from my daughter?
1. Finish your sentences!
2. Be eloquent and project your voice
3. Confidence sets you apart!
4. Smile, it looks better
5. Stunning is 50% on the inside!
6. Who Ed Jordan and John Legend is.
7. You can try to fix a broken vase by gluing it together but it will never be the same again
8. In the words of Megan Coleman: 'Have a vision for your future. Be focused. Know who you are and where you are going. Vision is what gives us the motivation to achieve our goals.'
Some of which i knew already!! :) thanks my precious kid, it was a great conversation!!
Who could ask for more?
Love, Shirley
