Us and Them

G'Day

Have you ever marvelled at the relationship humans have with animals. How very quickly animals can be conditioned to trust us.

My husband has befriended a couple of scrub turkeys. The female he calls "Laudy" after the olympian - Laudy Tourkey (apologies if name misspelt). The male was named by two of our grandsons and his name is 'scrubber'

At first timid and reticent to come close to us the birds now come to our back door and call us or call us from outside our bedroom window. Laudy has even ventured a little inside the back door - the risk being worth the piece of bread hubby has for her.

Scrubber has been a little on the outta as Hubby consistently admonished him for chasing Laudy and generally giving her a hard time. It seems he has come to terms with their behaviours now as he just as readily has morsels for Scrubber as he does for Laudy.......much to Scrubber's delight.

The turkeys have brought such pleasure to my husband who looks forward to having them greet him every morning. Pleasure is also derived from the fish in the creek on our front doorstep.

Every morning Hubby throws a handful of dried dog food to the fish who tussle for the small morsels. As soon as the fish see a human shadow from the top of the bank they swarm to the pool in the hope of having their efforts blessed.

I am sure you have some such stories of the contentment and pleasure derived from your relationship with wild animals. I would love to hear your stories so leave a comment and share your pleasure with me.

Us and them...........a wonderful privilege.

All I seem to do is work

Have you ever felt that all you see to do is work?

The key question is 'am I working hard? or am I working smart? There is a difference. I have spent most of my life working hard, and have some things to show for it..................BUT........I have realised that if my old age (which is fast approaching) is going to be really comfortable I need to work smart!!!

To this end I have embarked on a journey into the internet marketing world which promises to be very rewarding. I have joined up with one of the top internet marketers who does most of the work for me and step-by-step instructions for the work I need to do myself. This increases my learning as well as gives me an appreciation of what the internet marketing world is all about.

Years ago the potential to become a millionaire would have been so far out of reach of the common person that they would not have even attempted it. But today, the chance of becoming a millionaire and generating an income that is renewable is very,very possible.

If you would like to join me on this journey go to http:wwwpleasebetheone.com and check it out.

Let me know how you go.

Have a great day and stay safe!

Same ol' same ol'

Have you ever arrived at a point in your life when you are just tired of the same ol' same ol'? I am there NOW...........so I decided to see what I could do about it and began to investigate internet marketing with a view to making enough money to leave full-time employment and have some left over for philanthropy.

This has been quite a journey and I am beginning to come out of the haze of information overload to a place where I am gaining some understanding.

I would love it if you could follow me on this journey and share some of your experiences with me.

What's up

That's an excellent question. One that can be asked every single day of anyone we meet. What's up? is mostly asked when someone is looking downcast or forlorn or alone. It is usually followed by the response 'Nuthin'. Paradoxically, nuthin' usually means something.

How tuned in are we to each other? Do we really care what goes on in the life on another or are we so rapt in our own that we barely notice. Do we seek to expand on the 'nuthin' responses we get.

Next time you get a ''nuthin' response take the time to become interested in finding out the something that is behind the nuthin'.

It may surprise you. You may just be the one to show that someone does actually care.

We are living in a time when we see the world shrinking before our very eyes, and the smaller it gets, the more ego-centric we become.

Let's try to become other-centric and reap the rewards before the world closes in around us and we find ourselves alone on a crowded planet.

I would love to know what you think about all this........please share your thoughts. I would appreciate and value each one of them.
