It was never my intention to make this a weekly blog posting but during this week I have learned of several people who have had news that they will be less than thankful to have received. Two involve news that I can well understand having had similar news given to me. So the first thing I am grateful for today is the twelve years and a few weeks I have had since I was first given that news. I sincerely hope that those people will be writing a similar post in twelve years. In fact in one case I have already agreed the place for lunch this time twelve years hence.
During that 12 years so many things have happened: some good, some not so good, some mindblowingly wonderful and some heartwrenchinly bad. They have given me the outlook on life that I have and have taught me to live life for the moment. So that is the second thing for which I am grateful today.
And I'm thankful that I was persuaded to visit New Zealand and circumstances have allowed me the privilege of seeing Milford Sound (West Coast, South Island, New Zealand) and on a fine day and with a good friend, Steve.
