Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses
your understanding.
Even as the stone of the fruit must break, that it's
heart may stand in the sun,
so must you know pain.
And could you keep your heart in wonder at the
daily miracles of your life,
your pain would not seem
less wonderous than your joy.
And you would accept the seasons of your heart,
even as you have always accepted the seasons
that pass over your fields.
And you would watch with serenity
through the winters of your grief.
Much of your pain is self-chosen.
It is the bitter potion by which the physician within
you heals your sick self.
Therefore trust the physician,
and drink his remedy
in silence and tranquility.
For his hand, though heavy and hard, is guided by
the tender hand of the Unseen.
And the cup he brings, though it burn your lips,
has been fashioned of the clay
which the Potter has moistened
with His own sacred tears.

How to Become an Expert - Beyond Outlook 2007!
Outlook 2007 - for dummies.. well .. that is certainly what we have felt like in the past few weeks. Brick walls kept presenting on every turn with our new Outlook 2007. Oh the joys of our old simple Outlook Express.. who ever thought it was going to be a good idea to change over to the latest Outlook?
Umm.. me.... oh dear!
Who ever also thought that perhaps Microsoft might make things easier .. not more difficult.
I did. well I was wrong. Outlook 2007 became our nightmare. Poor Sahaja - my sister and business partner gave herself at least three migraines over it! I went crosseyed till midnight on a couple of occasions.
But gleefully, we have now solved our major problem which involved the conflicts between address books and contact lists! Oh Microsoft.. thank you for providing us with the opportunity to learn and sift through vast quantities of nerd material to get to a simple solution!
If you email us now, we finally know the way to easily add you into our new email contact database.. so you may now have the opportunity of getting our monthly newsletters. We can just about give advice on 'how to' as well! LOL the joys of computers.. sometimes I would like to use this one as an anchor for a boat!
So that said. if you would like to hear more from Best Health - click here to sign up for our newsletters.. we send them out at irregular intervals and do our best to provide interesting and stimulating information.
That's it for now.. thank God its Friday and I am leaving the office NOW!

New Research into Aging
Our wonderful Australian scientists have made an amazing discovery! Wait for it....
hold your breath now.. they are telling us we can be fighting fit until our 80's. And you know how?
By eating our fruits and vegetables!
They say .. they have discovered that diet is crucial.. and that eating fruits and vegies can help prolong our lives.
In fact this is such a ground breaking discovery that they are actually presenting this research at a scientific conference in Sydney today.
Oh sorry folks.. did you read what I just wrote with the necessary sarcastic tone of voice? I sure hope so because when we heard this incredible news on the ABC this morning we both nearly fell over laughing.
How can they possibly think that they have just made this discovery? What about pioneers such as Dr Bernard Jensen, and so many wonderful people who have been telling us for years and years that eating fruits and vegies will make you healthy.. and make you live longer.
Who on earth has been paying for this new research!!
Oh PLEASE!!!
When ever will they wake up and see what has been under the nose for just so long!

Antarctica in the Summer
I am fortunate enough to be on the verge of a expedition to Antarctica. This has been a dream of mine for many years.
Some years ago I attended a slide evening in Brisbane - with the Aurora Expeditions company.. and was totally entranced with vision of going with them to the Antarctic Peninsular.
Now I booked.. the New Year Trip for 12 days.. and it is only 3 months away and all these considerations come to mind - suddenly I am not fit enough, have not learned enough about taking photos - all those things I thought I should get together before I went!!! .. but there it is .. and I am totally excited just the same.
The sense of being in a type of desert place .. a place where there is space and expansion and the stretching of all your senses into the distance - unhindered by all the machine noise that is usual in the city..that's the main reason I signed up for kayaking option.. I imagined that away from the ship engine and the zodiac motor - just gliding in a kayak amongst the ice scenery - the whales, and the teeming life there of summer..and that space away from noise disharmony - I thought this would be great.
Cold.. hmmm... oh well.. lots of thermals are called for.
For the trip down, I have booked a place to stay in Bueones Aires - fortunately recommended by an old friend..
My niece Bindi says.. "it is the music in BA.. that food, the shopping, the architecture and also it is in your face in other ways.. "
5 or 6 days there...then off south to the expanse. I will tell you more as I go along..and have found on the net a well reviewed sort of homestay in Ushuaia.. for two nights.. I am looking forward to that very much
okay.. it is time to get that kayak out on the river and start paddling like mad.. they are said to kayak up to 120-140 kms each trip!
And here I would like to thank those who are assisting me to manifest this dream..
1. Sahaja
2. Heather
3. Olive,
4. Harley
5. Jude
6. Aunty Marion
7. Ken
and those who are now too many to name..
For without them and without our many valuable clients - who have often become friends, I would not be going on this almost unbelievable journey I thank you.
How you have all helped me so much.
