When the Monday Herald arrives – I turn first to your page. I have snipped out many of your items.
But I find that now I have lost a very good one. It was just recent – have trawled through our Paperchaser,
but with no luck.
It was about finding time to get things done. Well, I read it thoroughly and it was great, in fact it motivated me –
to get on with things, Spring cleaning – getting rid of rubbish, taking better care of finances.
Have been so busy but now feel much better as I feel well-organised.
So can you tell me how I can get that item again – could help some other people I know. Thanks, Colleen

I just wanted to say thank you Louise for spreading the joy, and changing my focus to happy things. I read your column in the NZ Herald because it is the only really joyful thing in my daily dose of the news. I need to get out of the habit of reading the depressing news at all, and switch to reading something positive each day. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have a whole newspaper that was dedicated to lovely news stories from around the world, instead of all the bad stuff. As for saving the best for another day, I never do. I often drink juice or water out of champagne or martini glasses, tea out of my favourite china, and any chance I get to go for a walk with my children and just talk, I take. My son said one day as we were walking that he loved feeling the sun on his back on a winters day and the cool breeze on a summers day. I always think of this when I go for a walk now.
