Day 21 - What makes me sad?

There are lots of things that make me sad. The number one thing being seeing my kids or husband sad and down. However, my sadness about the world in general all comes down to one thing - ignorance.

Ignorance is what fuels intolerance, fear, racism, and discrimination (to name a few). Not only does it make me sad, it makes me angry, particularly when used to oppress and deny people of their basic human rights.

I don't like thinking about things that make me sad. However, I acknowledge that 'brushing it under the carpet' for my own happiness does not make the issue go away, and to be honest, probably diminishes the issue somewhat.

What makes you sad?

Til next time.....

Day 20: What makes me happy

Today's topic is easy - my kids and husband being happy is what makes me my happiest!
What was my happiest moment today? Watching Lachie score his first ever goal in soccer! So much pride and happiness abound!

Short and sweet today. So til next time......

Day 19: My Favourite Movie

Sorry I didn't blog yesterday. I did remember, however I wasn't feeling too well so I took a day off from blogging.

Today's topic is my favourite movie. That's easy: The Sound of Music. I love love love the Sound of Music. IT is my all time favourite. Some other faves are:

• The Wedding Singer
• Reality Bites
• The Blues Brothers

In PNG news, The highschool Bree was enrolled to attend next year will allow us to defer her enrolment rather than withdraw. We're so relieved. Today I had me employment medical, had two removal companies come to give quotes and mailed off Lachie's distance education application.

I've also started looking at rental accommodation in Port Moresby. I think we'll probably look at staying in serviced apartments initially until our container arrives, then move into our own place.

If everything goes to plan (visas etc) I'll be leaving Australia to start our adventure in 3 weeks, with Matt and the kids joining me at the end of term 3.

Things are getting exciting (and busy) So, til next time.....
