Jar of Thoughts....

I am quite, quite happy to have been wrong in the allocation of Hauschka Code names at the start of this blog. Louis Smith was coded "Rythmic Night Conditioner" as amongst its ingredients is silver, the colour of the medal he picked up in the summer Olympics.  However, he struck gold in the Strictly Final, with a magical showdance routine. 

 'You blew me away. That had grace, fluidity and was sensual. That was brave to do - such a graceful and seamless dance. Very different from anything else I've seen in a show dance.' - Darcey Bussell

My next sentence is quite ironic, given that all their products gently work in harmony with the rhythms of nature, but here goes...Dr.Hauschka is a brave brand, it differs from anything else I've encountered in the ever expanding beauty market.  It is almost as if we have been brainwashed by advertising to expect tricks and a "clever science bit"; somehow products appear less valid if they don't come with a host of unpronounceable chemicals and flashy claims. 

New Year is naturally a time of reflection. All too often I find I am guilty of dwelling on the negatives - the "should have -would have- could haves", the things I find lacking and wanting in my life.  In a deluge of darkness I totally disregard the advice of the Peace Pilgrim:

 'If you realized how powerful your thoughts are, you would never think a negative thought...'

So today, I was delighted to spy this lovely idea posted on Facebook. 

Many moons ago, one of my posts (Friend Number 159 and the Magic of Eight)  reflected on the notion that Dr.Hauschka products are "Bottled Love".  This idea immediately echoed in my mind (I also thought of the song Jar of Hearts, but then I do have a dancing grasshopper mind!).

I smiled simply imagining the positive energy captured in such a jar.   Remember, good things don't have to be huge, monumental, life changing events; just anything that you are grateful for, anything that brings love, laughter, joy and light into your life (especially in the dark times.)  I am going to call it my "Jar of Thoughts" (only positive ones allowed!) I already know my first entry:
