It is health that is real wealth and not pieces of gold and silver.

Don't get me wrong... I'd love to be adorned by the stunning jewellery I found this afternoon while searching through SATeam!

But, it's not until you lose your health that you truly appreciate it.

I know that many of us on the team work with and around chronic health issues.

And we keep on plugging on. Day after day, regardless. When we have a good day, we bless it. If the day is bad, it's not so good.

And life throws us curve balls, regardless of our own health. The health of our family and loved ones - it all impacts on our 'wealth', or our 'health of mind'.

Why do we keep plugging on regardless?

Because we are doing what we love. Our craft brings us joy, and we can forget about our pains for a while.

I did find this awesome article this week through the Etsy Success Reading List, and I highly recommend that all of us read it.

Titled How To Get More Done in Less Time - it highlights an excellent time management strategy... which has to do with tomatoes!! Are you curious yet??

So treasure your health, and treasure your craft - and enjoy each day for the beauty that it provides.

The three rings of marriage are the engagement ring, the wedding ring, and the suffering.

Feeling a bit cheeky today. And need to make up for forgetting last weeks post - sorry!!

I love my family - I couldn't (and wouldn't) be without them.

But at times, I wish they would just leave me alone!

You all know what I mean.

You're about to solder that fiddly bit... String that last bead... Sketch that design that's been bugging you all day...

And whatever it is that they want/need, has to be done immediately.

Can't wait!

So, how do you work around your family and home life?

Your husband/wife/significant other?

Your boyfriend/girlfriend?

Your kids/cats/dogs?

Your full-time job (you know the one... it keeps food on the table and a roof over your head)?

Must sign out now... time to go deal with some 'suffering'.
