A bit of sunlight in a glass!

Beautiful breakfast

This is typical for Mama Buddha! She wrote: I am so excited to tell you all about my happy-moments. I really hope that my writings will help you to see that happiness is in small things.

Today I had a beautiful breakfast. Mr. Happy made me freshly squeezed oranges. No, he did not pour it from a can! He used the original, orange round things you can find in the fruit section. You have to cut them, and actually squeeze them yourself (or find Mr. Happy to do it for you), but then you get sunshine in a glass! He topped my breakfast up with fresh yellow mango slices. What a way to start the day![Read More on Mama Buddha's website]

Mama-Buddha says: Pomegranates are a SUPERfood!

Pomegranates are a SUPERfood!

Pomegranates are a SUPERfood!

Pomegranates are a new superfood: They are high in vitamin C and potassium, a great source of fiber, and low in calories. Not only delicious, pomegranates are one of the healthiest foods you can eat!

Pomegranate juice is high in three different types of polyphenols, a potent form of antioxidants. The three types - tannins, anthocyanins, and ellagic acid - are present in many fruits, but fresh pomegranate juice contains particularly high amounts of all three.

Whether you snack on fresh pomegranate arils (seeds) or drink the juice, feel guilt-free as you enjoy each delicious mouthful: you're doing your body a favor! (Courtesy of pomegranates.org)

I've learned that I still have a lot to learn

Tangled Christmas tree lights...

Maya Angelou is a famous author.

She said and wrote some pretty amazing things. That is why we start off with a quote from her. Mama Buddha thinks she is a true inspiration! Read more about May Angelou on her own official website.

I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life. I've learned that making a "living" is not the same thing as making a "life." I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance. I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw something back. I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one. I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back. I've learned that I still have a lot to learn. I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.
