Edition 419 Monday 19/03/18
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!

part of making your own luck is charging out of the gate every morning.”
