Bushfires...

This is a Blog Dedication to the Worst Bushfires in Australian History.

It is devestating, the amount of damage, caused by these fires. Whole towns have nearly been totally demolished, families have been ripped apart, and communities destroyed.

As of now, there have been 181 epople confirmed dead, and 146 un-confirmed or missing!
To think of all those families now missing loved ones... it is making me cry just typing this Blog!

A HUGE SHOUT-OUT goes to all volunteers (CFA, Red Cross, Salvation Army, Defence Force, interstate and overseas, and of course locals) who have put all there time, effort, love and dedication into helping out and doing anything that is needed.

For donations or information, go to:
- Country Fire Authority: www.cfa.vic.org.au
- Australian Red Cross: www.redcross.org.au
- The Salvation Army: www.salvos.com.au
- Victorian Police: www.police.vic.gov.au

and follow the links.

My thoughts and prayers go out to all!

Until next time... Eat Chocolate...

Attitude means everything...

My Nana sent me this in an email today...

It reminds me of myself (just the reason Nana sent me the email as it reminded her of me...)

Attitude

There once was a woman who woke up one morning,
looked in the mirror,
and noticed she had only three hairs on her head.
'Well,' she said, 'I think I'll braid my hair today.'

So she did and she had a wonderful day.

The next day she woke up,
looked in the mirror
and saw that she had only two hairs on her head.

'H-M-M,' she said,

'I think I'll part my hair down the middle today.'

So she did and she had a grand day.

The next day she woke up,
looked in the mirror and noticed
that she had only one hair on her head.
'Well,' she said, 'today I'm going
to wear my hair in a pony tail.'
So she did,and she had a fun, fun day.

The next day she woke up,

looked in the mirror and noticed

that there wasn't a single hair on her head.

'YAY!' she exclaimed.

'I don't have to fix my hair today!'

Attitude Is Everything

Be kinder than necessary,

for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

Live simply,

Love generously,

Care deeply,

Speak kindly....

Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass...

It's about learning to dance in the rain.
