Friday with Janet

What a great day we had! We arrived and Janet's children were waiting out
the front for us with their new dog, Lucy (Labradoodle). James and Reuben
played on the Xbox virtually all day. Amanda and Belinda hung around us
which was great! They are lovely girls. Janet's sister came up to give us
her opinion of our HPE lesson. We talked heaps, did a little of the lesson
and ate! Janet put on a lovely lunch for us. It was just a wonderful day.

Happiness is having loving friends. Steve Irwins death has reminded me how
precious life really is. I loved hearing how Terri Irwin spoke of her late
husband. They lived life and regretted nothing! In the end its the memories
that you are left with. Bindi and Terri have so many fantastic memories of
Steve. They were happy, they knew what happiness was and Terri is determined
to keep his fun loving philosophy alive!

I may not have the money to live like Steve Irwin but want take that
philosophy on board. I'm not sure how it will start. Perhaps just going to a
beach we havent walked on before or a beach we havent been to for a long
time. Maybe climb a mountain, bushwalk, walk around a city we haven't been
to, drive in a direction and keep going until we find somewhere and stay
overnight. Who knows but I want to start doing it. I have been treading
water way too long. I have to finish uni and I will finish it but not at the
expense of losing time with my son and daughter!

Life is to live.... to live is to love! (is that a quote by someone? It must
be... if not its my quote now!)
