My Mum told me every first of the month say the above when you first wake up and you will have good luck for the month and read below to see it is working already!!!
9.30am was yoga and I again enjoyed the class the stretching is really beneficial for me…..came home and just had time to get my lesson ready for class tonight before I went off to poker…
and this is where the luck kicked in with me back in the wining ways with 220 pesos!!!
Home and a shower and changed and back into town again for my class…..this was different for the level 6 students did not have a teacher again so they joined my class these are the students I had last year so I know them well but I do feel for them because in the first 5 weeks they have had 5 different teachers and twice no teacher at all……I had to adjust my lesson and spent the whole time getting them to come to the front and talk….they are all doing so well and it was a good class ending with them getting some chocolate.
The ride home on the scooter was a bit hairy it was raining so hard and I mean really hard some of the small side streets were like rivers…I just took my time went very slow and made it home OK and straight into the shower!!!
I enjoyed the article below from the Internet..
Global Age Watch Index: Norway best for older people
Norway is the best country for older people, followed by neighbouring Sweden
Norway is the best place to grow old, according to an index of the quality of later life in 96 countries.
HelpAge International's Global AgeWatch Index measures the social and economic welfare of those over 60.
Published on the UN International Day of Older Persons, it ranks Australia, Western Europe and North America highly, and Afghanistan last.
The report predicts that by 2050, 21% of the global population will be over 60.
The index measures four areas - income security, health, personal capability and whether the person lives in an "enabling environment".
Hot on the heels of Norway comes Sweden, closely followed by Switzerland, Canada and Germany.
The report says that by 2050, some 40 countries in the index will have populations where 30% are aged 60 or over.
The UN has said that the number of those aged 60 or over is expected to reach 1.4 billion by 2030.
Mexico has shot up the index for its commitment to income security for older people
Analysis: Mike Wooldridge, world affairs correspondent
Experts point out that the increasing numbers of people surviving into older age are, of course, a cause for celebration - advances in healthcare and in nutrition, better sanitation, and more economic prosperity are all contributory factors.
Add in other factors like falling birth rates and it is clear why we see not just more people living longer, but countries with higher percentages of older people as well.
But the question is whether this can be turned into more positive ageing for those who have little or no social protection or savings - an acute challenge for many in the developing world.
It is made worse where the tradition of caring for the elderly within extended families is weakening.
There is change taking place. The growth of tax-financed, non-contributory "social pensions" is seen as key to helping to tackle inequality for the older age group.
A slogan often heard in global development is "leave no-one behind" - the welfare of those in later life is as much of a test of it as the young.
Several Latin American countries - particularly Mexico and Peru - have leapt up the index for their commitment in ensuring "social pensions" for the poorest older people.
These are tax-financed, non-contributory pensions that ensure a basic income for the most vulnerable.
In Mexico, nearly nine out of every 10 people aged 65 and over receive a social pension.
Because of this, Mexico ranks at 30 on the index, outstripping the BRICS nations - Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa.
Peru has implemented the Pension 65 programme, which provides older people with 250 nuevo soles (£53) every two months
Yashi Kochi!!!
