Inspirations

Family inspirations
My late grandfather and his lovely lady friend are my great inspirations. He was 86 and she was 89.
They lived in Pukekohe and decided to drive around the South Island for 3 weeks.
When they got back, they had enjoyed themselves so much, they barely stopped to say hello to their house; they drove to Cape Reinga, it rained there, so they went to the Coromandel instead!
Poppa was still baking muffins for his neighbours and playing cards with a twinkle in his eye until a couple of days before he passed away.

So get busy living people! Get busy living and don’t ever give up; love, love, love & throw in large doses of laughter & help others too - it keeps you young.

And lastly...
For attractive lips, speak words of kindness,
For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.
For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.
For beautiful hair, let a child run their fingers through it
once a day.
For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone...

People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed,
revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone.

Remember, if you ever need a helping hand,
you will find one at the end of each of your arms.
As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands;
one for helping yourself and the other for helping others.

(could be by the lovely late Audrey Hepburn, not too sure, if anyone knows please kindly advise)
