Hi,we have a happy,playful,energetic household full of joy and laughter.Have we won lotto?, no,but something equally as lucky and fortunate.….we have a new puppy!!

Her name is Lily Patch Jones and she is our adorable new arrival to the Jones clan at 48!

Our step son Stephen commented recently that the addition of Maltese Freddy Fisher to their household had made such a huge impact on all their lives and it is so true.

Animals galvanise and bond families and remind us all there is more to life than we think!

Fletcher reckons his puppy Lily is the best thing since Harry and Oscar and something he looks forward to loving and teaching all the their old dog tricks to!! (happy days).

Something funny about pets is their ability to melt the most frosty grumpy persona and their magnetic/universal appeal to all no matter what is going on around. We have had a steady stream of visitors this weekend wanting to visit and cuddle our new puppy!

Updating, we celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary and look forward to an endless number of more,the pohutakawa tree lives (yay),last week of dog sitting (yay)Hot X buns (yay), countdown on to next level of Toastmasters competition…….bring it on!

I hope your life is full of little bundles of joy like ours……Cheers Jonesey.

 

Kate Henderson reckons Lily Patch will take some training but she is up for it!!

“The harder I work the more luck I seem to have.”Thomas Jefferson

 

I have always maintained luck doesn’t come to you, you make your own!

Case in point last week whilst out walking streets knocking on doors.

I had an appointment with a customer and whilst waiting called on neighbours.

Fortunately I was across the road from a company I have been pursuing.

I boldly entered and asked for the contact who to this point had been elusive.

No luck unfortunately,however, back out in the car park a major breakthrough!

I was lucky enough to meet the owner of the business who I know from way back!

We had a great chat and plenty of laughs catching up on old times.

So what lessons here?;

  • Always back yourself and try different ways to achieve the same result.
  • When doing the above you attract lucky breaks rather than rely on them.
  • Use your network more, don’t hold back if you have contacts in higher places.
  • He/she who hesitates loses.

From this chance meeting the boss the person I have been seeking has now responded.

We have an invitation to tender for the National requirements of this company.

Imagine where I would be if I hadnt called in on the off chance?

So…..

Never give in, always have a crack and luck will come your way…eventually!

Remember;

We will all stand for long time with mouth open waiting for roast duck to fly in!

Have a great week doing what you love in the exciting and BIG field of opportunity!
