This came up on my Pinterest feed this morning..
It really resonated.
Where I have been feeling rather low about some things recently, it reminded me that I do EVERY one of those things, and that makes me STRONG.
Have a wonderful Thursday Peeps, and stay STRONG!

“It’s OK to be a glowstick. Sometimes we need to break before we shine.” – Anon
What an absolutely fantastic thought Spidey has brought to the table this week!
I rather like the idea of being a glowstick.
The thought that something broken can give the greatest results.
There are often situations in life where you are pushed to your limits. You work yourself to the bone. You wear yourself so thin that that final straw easily breaks the proverbial camel’s back.
But this saying makes me think that being broken is not a bad thing. Being broken means that you get a chance to peer inside yourself, and find that inner strength and glow that you would have never realised was there, had you just plodded along.
So if you are feeling broken, if things haven’t gone the way you wanted, summon the strength to mend yourself, and allow that strength to carry you forward to bigger and better things!
Thank you, Spidey!
Have a glow-tastic Sunday Peeps!

A family doesn’t need to be perfect; it just needs to be united – Unknown
In Unison there is Strength – Aesop
Everyone should strive to become a citizen of the world. Boundaries were created by Man, not the Creator. There’s no such thing as Them vs. Us. There is only We. – Suzy Kazem
Well done Spidey, you’ve unearthed some crackers there, which relate perfectly to my feelings about the whole EU referendum fiasco.
I was never sure who to vote for, as there was so much clashing information being bandied about by the two campaigning sides. But my choice was to Remain. My reasoning was for the future of my children, the opportunities that would arise from an ‘open world’, and a fear of the unknown.
Others I know who voted to Leave, had their own valid reasons. Many, who were older were saying they were around before the EEC, and they took part in those first votes. They knew what the country was capable of, without this added ‘support’ network, and generally, there was an air of nostalgia, with them harking back to the good old days. Some were voting so the promises of added funding to various national services would happen.
It’s too early to make sweeping statements about what will happen, and whether it was a mistake or not.
What is right or wrong, no one really knows, but whatever is going to happen, surely it is better to stay united and draw strength from each other, support one another.
We are like a large family, and as long as we are there for each other, we WILL cope with the ups and downs that are sure to face our nation.
Here’s hoping this is a chance for the politicians, who are the puppeteers in this whole circus, to really show us what is GREAT about GREAT Britain, and let’s hope that we can stay a UNITED Kingdom.
Peace out Peeps Have a united Sunday, and may you be blessed with sunshine, I fear we have rain!!!
But I Smile Anyway...
