  BE CARING	A little thought for others,makes all the difference.
  ... AND KIND	Be kind and thoughtful.
  BE OPEN TO CREATIVITY	Poems and hums aren't things which you can get,they're things which get YOU. All you can do is to go where they can find you.
  SOLVING STORAGE PROBLEMS	A usefull put can make you glad. It's for putting things in.
  PLAN AHEAD	Many a bear going out on a warm day would never think of bringing a little something with him.
  CONTROL YOUR STRESS LEVELS	To seem quite at ease hum tiddely-pom once or twice in a what-shall-we-do-now kind of way.
  HAVE A FRIENDLY DAY	When you've been walking in the wind for miles. and you suddenly go into somebody's house, and he says, "Hallo, Pooh, you're just in time for a little smackeral of something", and you are, then it's what I call a friendly day.
  KEEP BUSY	It's just the day for doing things.
  SAY IT WITH FLOWERS	How sad it is to be animal who has never had a bunch of Violets picked for him.
  IMPROVE YOUR BRAIN POWER	How wonderful to have a Real Brain which could tell you things.
  COLD LOGIC	It's no good going home to practise a Special Outdoor Song which Has To Be Sung In The Snow.
  COMPANIONSHIP	It isn't much good having anything exciting. if you can't share it with somebody. It's so much more friendly with two.

  Winnie the Pooh has always been a favourite of mine. There is something about the simple, gentle wisdom and kindness of those characters that appeals to me. When you are feeling a little overwhelmed with the world it sometimes helps to revisit those childhood things that made you feel safe, secure and happy - they still work!
