Chairlady’s Musings: August

I came across this on social media last week (so not my own wisdom) and thought I’d share it with you.

“Just decide to love the heck out of your life and if you truly can’t, then you simply must make it more loveable.

Change things around.

Move things out, add things in.

It’s your life.

You can do that.

Do whatever you need to do to get any kind of joy, every day.

And start now, right this minute.

The future is promised to no one, what are you waiting for?

This is it my friend,

this is it.”

• Donna Ashworth

Wow, it certainly hits you in the gut, doesn’t it. I don’t know about you, but 2025 has been…urm, let’s just say interesting as we want to keep the vibe positive.  It has been so easy to forget to be grateful for each day and to find the joy in our lives.

Another quote I really love is: “If you don’t like where you are, move. You are not a tree” – Jim Rohn

It is easy to just stay stuck where you are unhappy or feel unappreciated and complain about it, instead of acting and change your situation. If you can’t change your circumstances straight away start taking small steps towards the new life you want. Life awards action.

And as for time – we do not know how much we have, so don’t wait, take action NOW!

Share with us what you love about your life or what you do daily to bring love and joy into your life. I will start!

A day without reading is not an option, I just love reading – and I love my book club, so that one evening a month is a non-negotiable for me. It brings me joy.

Dogs – I love spending time with my dogs and I am guilty of watching happy ending videos or dog rescues.

My loved ones. I love seeing and spending time or chatting on the phone with my friends and family.

Coffee dates with my special people.

My first cup of tea in the morning, just bliss.

Sunrises (from my bedroom window I will admit) – as each day holds promise for love and joy and opportunity.

Gratitude – always, and every day.
