We have had a very odd few weeks of weather, I'm sure you will agree - a few days of biting cold, some days dull and overcast, a flurry of snow here and there, and now and again, like today, a beautiful Spring day...
There is no doubt that as soon as the sun comes out and the days lengthen that many people find a renewed joy in life. The opportunity to cast off heavy coats and boots, to actually feel warm air against your skin has an almost magical effect on the senses. You will notice people smiling more, walking with purpose, beginning to enjoy life...
Spring Cleaning is still the time for many people to take stock of their homes: to clean, to organise, to renew and replace.
It is also the time when we reflect on our life, and set about making changes, whether that is in the relationships we have, or in our lifestyle, or the way we want to live our life.
Sometimes a change can be something very small, perhaps remembering to focus on what you have, rather than what you don't have; sometimes it is life changing and immediate such as ending a negative relationship or moving house or changing jobs. Sometimes it is a shift in attitude or action which will have a profound and longterm effect.
Whatever you need to do, no matter how daunting, it is down to you as an individual to take action, to make the first move, to be proactive.
Remember: If you always do what you have always done, you will invariably get the same ( disappointing?) results.
Spring Clean your life today and see what a difference it makes!

No Smoking Day 2012 coming soon...
No Smoking Day 2012
How many cigarettes do you buy each week? At what cost?
Well, if you are a 20 per day smoker you consume approximately 140 per week ( give or take the cigs you give to your mates and the cigs they give to you) - at around £6 per 20 that 's £42 per week and £168 per month...

£2000+ PER YEAR! EVERY YEAR! £2000+ PER YEAR!
What value do you put on a healthier life with renewed energy, better skin, improved tastebuds... every day... for the rest of your life?

Save Money; Save Your Life; Make up your mind to QUIT today!
And if you are still not convinced, try googling "amputee smoker" - the image that I have used successfully with young people who are not convinced by the healthy life/ better skin/ financial argument.
The image really is too disturbing to put here, but it is of a middle aged male smoker who had had all four of his limbs amputated as a result of his addiction.
Luckily for him, he had a "friend" on the ward who fashioned a cigarette holder from a coat hanger so that he could continue to smoke...

If you are lucky enough to have a Mum, whether that’s your Birth Mum or someone who fills that role for you, make sure that you tell her how much she means to you every single day.
Show her that you care.
Remember that it is the little things that count – a smile, a Thank You, a cup of tea, a hug…
