Father’s Day all the time!

Father’s Day is a time for people to celebrate the men in their lives. For children, it is a day to show appreciation for their fathers and father-figures. For adults, it is a day to show how much they love and appreciate the hard work of the fathers and husbands in their lives.

Are Christmas cards a thing of the past?


Growing up, I remember my mother sitting down and writing a quick note to put inside each Christmas card she sent out. She painstakingly signed each card from her and my father, addressed each of the hundred or more envelopes, stuck stamps on them and put them in the mail. Memories like those will live with me forever, and I carried on the tradition for many years myself, but I feel that it is a dying tradition for a lot of people.

I’m still one of those traditional hold-outs, I guess. I actually enjoy sending out Christmas cards — and, believe it or not, receiving them. I hang them up in my living room and studio as Christmas decorations, gazing at the smiling faces that seem so happy to be there. I love it.

But in the event of you finding Christmas cards a bit of a waste, eventually destined for the dustbin, how about making a change?

In stead of giving a greeting card for Christmas this year, how about a Hardcover journal? Or a Spiral Notebook? A lasting remembrance of a wonderful festive season that’s not going to be tossed into the dustbin. How about a coffee mug to enjoy a wonderful Christmas morning hot steaming cup of coffee or eggnog?

Because your Christmas greeting  is an extension of yourself, you might want to purchase your greeting from someone that specialises in custom cards or other forms of Christmas greetings, making friends and loved ones feel special, showing that you really care.

A very fine day

Morning everybody! What a wonderful day! Before the Christmas madness starts, here's a thought to lower your blood pressure and get you to be a Calm Person. Aristotle said, “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then is not an act, but a habit.” Even if you can only spare five minutes, use it to stay in touch with your self as a gathered soul. The point is to not lose your connection, however fragile or loose, to the calm self that is being created. Hold on to the effort and the belief that you will become such.


I took a little stroll
along the pathway
and observed the wild flowers blooming.

It was a very fine day.
