Have you found anything wonderful lately?
I am completely up to date with my (and my husbands) accounts and ready for the meeting with the tax accountant tomorrow. This is just another job that requires doing each year and I just get on and do it I certainly have no emotional attachment to it.
However, at the bottom of my reciepts I found a handwritten quote with “type and Print” written on it. This is from a few years ago and I have NEVER typed or printed it out. But I am going to blog it because it is beautiful. I hope you resinate with it as I have.
‘The hungry spirit is a rebel with a cause. If you want to know the meaning of your life, you are going to have to design a higher purpose for it. The spirit within is hungry and you must feed it something more than mere exsistance for it to flourish. Believing in something and acting on that belief will nourish your soul. Contribute to the world and contribute to your own spiritual growth at the same time’.

School Holiday Project – sherbet, mint patties, marshmallow pops & cones, coconut ice
Wow! A big day today with lots of “helpers”. Not really sure how I kept my sanity in check, I didn’t yell in frustration at them once. Even when Toby sneezed in the sherbet! It is okay we made a new batch that one won’t be for sale. See you tomorrow. mint patties, these are VERY rich be warned. put it on a stick, dip it in water, dip it in sprinkles. Even a 4 year old can makes these. . “I made this for myself” says Tex. Making sherbet …

3 days until the pop up sweet shop so it is time to get our skates on. Three and a bit treats yesterday. Banana pops – you will be able to afford these ones. Fudge – not much fudge because I have pre-sold some and we are not making anymore as we are not up for the stirring so soon. Sesame-seed brittle, like the peanut brittle looks like spew but …
