An APPLE a day keeps the doctor away.

Today I am going to go on an outing with my gran in-law... so I'm keeping it brief.

We are heading towards the coast to get a much needed soul-lift.

Something about the sea that makes us both feel good - it'll be our 'apple' for today.

That got me thinking about all those wise old sayings our elders say, like 'An apple a day keeps the doctor away' ... and here's what I came up with - Grace style.

Appreciation and gratitude is the best possible attitude. Always look for at least one thing to be grateful for each day - a healthy attitude equals a healthy life.

Practice patience. Whether you're in a queue or running late, nothing's worth being irate. Patience really is a virtue - aim for it daily.

Pleasure's found in purpose. Find purpose in everything you do and pleasure's bound to follow too - promise!

Let it be. Allowing something to just be, is certainly to set you free. The Beatles sang these "words of wisdom" - make it your mantra.

Eat well. Nourishing your body, nourishes your soul - so grab yourself a salad bowl. With this in mind, redefine what a 'treat' is - for me it's Meg's big salad in Ubud, Bali.

Until tomorrow, may you continue to be the apple of my eye!

Grace xx
