The Pied Piper,I will not talk about what made me proud how about happy?
I took early redundancy, felt pressured to do it, did not really want to.
Spent too much got too generous and felt lost.
Went fishing 12 hours a day for two months up the coast.
Loved it, let me forget what I had given up.
Returning home every minute of a long trip reminded me I was going to be broke soon.
THEN home letter box full, deeds to my house I had paid cash for much more AND a letter had won second prize in the lottery $10.000!
Last letter?
Offer of a job, the job I was made for union official, never looked back.

Most people in modern secularized society have little or no experience of the positive value of rituals. Yet there are certain spiritual traditions on the planet that mean a great deal to some people. They fortify their spirits, reminding people of their oneness and form some of society's connective tissue. Things like blessing
newborns, puberty rites, marriage, elder wisdom, and memorial services
to name just a few. One of the things that I am pleased that I managed to do is find the grave sites of my grand parents and erect
plaques to mark them for future generations so that they would not be
forgotten. "Lest We Forget."

I just happened to stop a power saw long enough to hear a cough & a cry whilst fitting out a boat. As I looked up I saw two little boys going under in a canal. Luckily, I got to them in time.
That felt good.

Happy is all good Belly and exciting, wow what a day. Go on what was the first thing you bought?

Nice Lexi and the perfect moment to feel proud of yourself, something to show respect and help the next ones that might come along. My mother has travelled far and wide doing similar and one day I may see her handy work.

And two children still with us because of Individual who I bet some parents always thought of rather fondly.

Well ok TPP while away over spending and being too generous I was with my best mate and cousin.
He had been doing it hard and I helped him and family out.
Along with that I gave him a loan, first thing? rang him telling him to forget that loan.

good point belly...!
never lend...but if you got it...to give
then give...[i learned...to read between the lines]

anyhow it is as it is
better than it was...but..not as good..as it will be

darn im hearing music faintly stiring my soul
we built it and they didnt come...oh well we got a feast of plenty

its much like making stone soup
everyone brings one thing
the more that come..the more we did bring

but then we get..those who dont eat meat
or only eat the mana..others did reap

im reminded of the 2 de miracle..where jesus fed 4000...who believed..it a sin..to eat with unwashed hands
thus did eat...'all they wished'

because they refused that..offered to be eaten
