Another Sunny Day

What wonderful people there are in the world!
And those are just the ones I've met.
True, some go out of their way NOT to appear wonderful.
If that's you, stop wasting your time!
LET the world see how wonderful you really are.
At least your close family and friends!
A frustrating morning trying to get "connectivity" for my laptop at school.
And being without a telephone.
I got to meet our wonderful new teachers and tell them the wonderful news about PPTAA (teachers' union).
Maile Finau came and said "hi" - she is about to start her second year studying drama at Unitech, and was one of the first Super Twelve - it was her auntie who showed us brilliant hospitality when we stayed in Tonga (not the only one - also John's auntie and Malama's uncle and auntie).
Happy times!
Brilliant brilliant memories.
I am looking forward to more goooood stuff at school this year - I can't wait.
And if you're tempted to be cynical about teaching (and there are many things to put a cloud on your blue sky), find another job....
Bring on the (long) weekend!
Arohanui,

G.

  3. I don't think it's necessarily "bad" news...
    It is disappointing, because I have about a million things I'd still like to do.
    But we all have to die some time...
    As well as being a physical/biological fact, theologically speaking, we would never get resurrected into wonderful resurrection creatures if we didn't die...
    Still, one thing to know this, another to go through it and look out the window and see the beauty that is here in 3D for us to enjoy every single minute we're awake/alive.
    Motorways are ugly, though - wouldn't mind getting rid of them!

    Sandy, we are ALL beautiful, but we succeed too much in uglifying ourselves...a great shame!

    ps - you too!
