New Dimensions

A swimming pool is a wonderful place to enjoy with friends and family. Many South African homes have a pool. The question is, is your pool safe? Does it have a net or protective covering? S A Pool Nets and Covers are just the people to contact to get a quotation for that pool net or pool cover. They are very competitive with their prices and ensure that the net is fitted properly to ensure the safety of your guests and dogs.

Being an early riser, I can’t wait to do something exceptional in the early morning because that sets the tone for the rest of my day. My energy stems from my will to enjoy every waking moment of my blessed life. Yes, I take responsibility for my attitude. When I feel down, I change that because no-one else is going to rush to rescue me from self-pity.  Being motivated and positive is my way of life. Also, I watch what words I speak and the thoughts that go through my mind, which is a powerful instrument. It can lift you up or put you down. The same goes for your words. Someone posted a notice on Facebook that says something like this: “The walls that surround us are actually built by ourselves.” Who we allow in is determined by us, and we don’t venture beyond our self-made mental blocks.
