Holiday in Brisbane

Tough times ahead.
No not really, I'm off to Bris Vagas to see my daughter, finally.
Two weeks of shopping and spending quality time with her before she moves further away.

Yer, that's right, 3000klm away now. Job on Hamilton Island, hopefully. The boyfriend already works there so of course she is following.
But I'm not concerned, I tell her to do all this travelling and see Australia now while she can because once she has children there will be no chances to do it then.

You never know, I may get a free holiday out of it. Here's hoping.

Have a great day everyone.

Children, Not All Bad.

Children can sometimes act in a way that outrages us because of their rudeness and others shock us with their politeness.
Not all children are brought up with no respect or kindness for their elders.
My husband works for the water company. One day he was working near a major secondary college fixing a main pipeline. As he was struggling to turn the main line off a group of young teenage boys walked by.

He was quite shocked when they asked if he wanted a hand. He politely said "no thanks", mainly because of OH&S.
Now about 9 times out of 10 most kids would have made some smart remark or comment, laughed and joked between themselves but not these guys.

I think that it shocked my husband at the generosity of these young males but at the same time really impressed him.
I believe that there is good in all people, it just has to be encouraged and developed.

Most parents are teaching their child the right stuff.
We can help make this world a much better place by teaching our child to give help and love to others.
