Use it or one day you'll lose it!

Anthea from Lifestyle Happy Place

🤸‍♀️ Its easy to take things for granted.

🤸‍♀️ Let's take waking up in your bed and standing up for instance. Balancing upright, on two feet, without falling over.

For some this is a miracle.

🤸‍♀️ In our daily lives, getting up to go to a job and driving to work seem ordinary that we take for granted.

🤸‍♀️ It is only when we get bedridden, or too sick or injured and we lose our precious capabilities that we begin to realise how awesome it is to be simply moving.

🤸‍♀️ This amazing gift of movement is worth using to it's full potential. Use it to try new things and get moving. Get off the couch and away from the tv as much as you can. Learn a sport or join the gym.

Express gratitude and look after your amazing body. It's worth more than anything you'll ever buy.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
