Story Time

Here’s a great story that I read on Facebook today about value ...

A father said to his daughter “You have graduated from university, here is a car I bought many years ago. It is a bit older now. But before I give it to you, take it to a second hand car dealer and tell them I want to sell it and see how much they offer you for it. 

The daughter went to the second hand car dealer, returned to her father and said, “They offered me £1,000 because they said it looks pretty worn out.” 

The father said, now “Take it to the pawn shop.” The daughter went to the pawn shop, returned to her father and said,”The pawn shop offered only £100 because it is an old car.” 

The father asked his daughter to go to a car club now and show them the car. The daughter then took the car to the club, returned and told her father,” Some people in the club offered £100,000 for it because it’s a Nissan Skyline R34, it's an iconic car and sought by many collectors” 

Now the father said this to his daughter, “The right place values you the right way,” If you are not valued, do not be angry, it means you are in the wrong place. Those who know your value are those who appreciate you......Never stay in a place where no one sees your value.

So very true to know your value 🥰

I’ve had a lazy Sunday, although I did get up at 9am and cooked pancakes, bacon, banana and maple syrup for breakfast which I ate at the kitchen bench with Adoring Husband and then brought my cup of tea back to bed while I watched some YouTube videos.

At 11am I changed into my swimmers, put some easy listening music through the sound bar and slid into the pool. I did the usual routine swimming laps, stretching, dancing, floating and basking in the sun for ten minutes.

I sat under the Bali hut for a while and decided to peel the prawns to nibble on for lunch while we watched “Field of Dreams” in the lounge room.

My belly was still full of prawns by dinner time so I prepared AH a healthy salad with salmon steaks and we watched “Rocky Horror Picture Show”.

I did a load of washing today, but that’s about the extent of my productivity.

I’m looking forward to lunch with the girls tomorrow and it’s almost 9.30pm so I might attempt to sleep because I’m feeling a little weary.

Nite all.
