Easter. The only time it’s okay to put all of your eggs in one basket!”
― Author Unknown

It is a day to enjoy your chocolate eggs… (Well that is what the kids think anyway!) But also a time, for those who believe, a time to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus.

So why do we have eggs?

Eggs are said to be a symbol of new life and so they perfectly represent Jesus beginning his new life after resurrection.

I shall not profess to be an expert on the whole Easter topic, but suffice to say, having been born and brought up in the UK, going to a Church Of England school, I learned plenty about the religious significance!

Anyway, have a wonderful Easter all of those of you that celebrate, and if you don’t, enjoy the long weekend you got because of it!

And don’t forget to change your clocks if you are in the UK… we lose an hour, this time, remember!

“

One man practicing kindness in the wilderness is worth all the temples this world pulls.”

Jack Kerouac

I really believe this.
Just yesterday my Pops and I were talking religion… in Sikhism there is an expectation to do ‘Seva’.
This is charitable work and volunteering or donating to good causes.
Many folk who may have no time but they have the money feel it is best to give their donations to the Gurdwara.
But most gurdwaras have all they need, and then some.
Someone Pops knows said that instead of just blindly donating to the temple, it would be more beneficial, and true Seva, to give to a real needy person, or to help somewhere physically, because that kindness will never go unnoticed.
I think today’s quote really encompasses this theory.
Happy Sunday Peeps!

“Pain is not love. Love flowers ; love gives without taking; love is serene and calm.” – Erika Jong

A Valentine’s day thought for you all.
May all your days be filled with love, not just this one.
Love requires no fancy presents, cards or flowers.
A daily smile, a cup of tea, being there… that’s love. Real love.
❤

Breath… It’s only a bad day, not a bad life.” – Johnny Depp

See, not just a pretty face is our beautiful Johhny Depp!

And what truth in those few words.

There are days.

We all have them.

Bad days, days when you think nothing can get better. But you would do yourself a favour if you remember these words.

Things can, and will, get better. It’s very rare to be in a whole life that is ‘wrong’. Moreso the situations that can arise may be bad, but you can get yourself out of them if you really try. And if the situation is out of your control, it is worth remembering, that with every beginning, there is an end.

Have a peaceful, serene Sunday Peeps!

“You are that light.

Yours is that light which shines within everyone.”

Guru Nanak Dev Ji – The first Sikh Guru

I know you are not all believers, in any religion, but this particular quote should ring true with all of you who do believe in God.

He is that light. And if you believe in Him, He will shine in you, from you, and for you. In all those moments of darkness, He creates the light that finally leads you to your rightful destination.

Sometimes it is just up to us to actually open our eyes and see that light.

Have a wonderful Sunday Peeps!
