Reason # 1 LIFE is always worth CELEBRATING

The 60!  (For TODAY's installment, scroll down to the bottom and click on the link in blue) Turning 60 is Special Turning 60 is more than just a milestone—it's a celebration of wisdom, resilience, and life richly lived. It's a moment to pause and reflect on decades of experiences, lessons learned, and relationships nurtured. At 60, you've likely faced and overcome challenges, celebrated triumphs, and grown into a deeper understanding of yourself and the world. Sixty is special because it's the age where confidence often meets clarity. The uncertainties of youth have softened, replaced by a grounded sense of who you are. You've earned the right to say no without guilt and yes with conviction. There’s a freedom in this stage of life—a chance to pursue passions, share knowledge, and shape a legacy with intention. It’s also a time of connection. Whether through family, friends, or community, turning 60 reminds us that our most meaningful moments are often shared....

Reason # 2 House Rules & STORY TELLING

The Gratitude Journey Journal This is going to be quite a journey— which I intend to keep super short at times, because this is not the book YET… ha ha! ( As if my life is really interesting enough to write a novel about.) Still, life is always    a precious gift, and I do have quite a few stories to tell... Once, when I asked my children to give a one- sentence summary of how they see me, they said: " Jy is ' n storieverteller, Pappa!" Well, I can’t fault them on that one, because storytelling is an integral part of my life. Maybe it started back when I was a teenager, and the favourite storyteller to my siblings’ young kids. The briefing was always the same and always short: " Ons gee vir jou ' n sin, en dan moet jy die res vertel..." And so, many a story began. Funnily  enough  (or sadly even)  , I told fewer stories to my own kids. Instead, I played make- believe  with them. Once I  even built a whole Fairytale  storyboard— complete with a...

Reason # 3 Each life is a GIFT - whether you are a "BONT", BLACK or WHITE sheep

Image
  One of the 60 things I daily celebrate, is the fact that every life is such a gift - hence I  don't really fancy the celebrity culture of our age very much.... Instead I rather want to CELEBRATE each life! Because I think that each person is a gift to the world. You carry a talent, a gift, that is just right for what the planet needs at a time like this - YES YOU!!. Hence, I don't believe in clever or less clever people - I think we are all talented with the right attributes, in the right measure - we have within us all the "things" we need for the story/experience (#SoulReasons) of this lifetime... Each life is a quiet miracle, sacred not for its visibility but for its very being. In a culture that elevates celebrities and public achievement, it's easy to forget that worth is not measured by spotlight or applause. The teacher who shapes young minds, the nurse who soothes pain, the neighbor or friend  who shows kindness, the engineer or manager or data analyst —...
