Lord, make
us instruments of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let us sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is discord, union;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
Where there is sadness, joy;
O Divine Master, Grant that we may not so much seek
To be consoled as to console,
To be understood as to understand,
To be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

Amen

Fluck

An Asian woman goes in to her local NAB Branch and begins exchanging her money.

After the transaction is complete she asks the teller 'Why it change, yesterday I get two hunat dollar for my money, today I only get hunat eighty?'

The teller looked over his glasses and says very slowly....'fluctuations'.

The Asian woman narrows her eyes and says, 'fluck you Aussies too'.

I realise that i am terrible at reporting what actually happens in my life at times and looking at some of my recent posts... i go off on this random etheral (whatever the heck that means) tangent on deep stuff, when really. i just gotta bring it right back down to earth.

i'll try that.

thoughts

2 more weeks til work closes.

this is the first time in years that im actually quite looking forward to the break.

i still am enjoying my job.

what i have learnt though is... you are what you think.

one must capture negative thoughts and toss them in the bin before you get on what i call a 'negative death spiral'.

its kind of comical when you think of a 'death spiral'. a little melodromatic methinks.

anyhoo.

seniors christmas concerts on tomorrow and thursday.

over 40,000 seniors will descend to the entertainment centre over the next 2 days.

HOT! haha. not.

zimmer frames, hip replacements, hunched backs galore.

our ageing population is certainly growing.

cant wait!

Thomas Merton.

“My Lord God, I have no idea where I am going.
I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end.
Nor do I really know myself, and the fact that I
think that I am actually following your will does not mean that I am actually doing so.
But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you. And I hope that I have that desire in all that I am doing.
I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire.
And I know that if I do this you will lead me by the right road though I may know nothing about it.
Therefore will I trust you always though I may seem to be lost and in the shadow of death.
I will not fear, for you are ever with me, and will never leave me to face my perils alone.”
Thomas Merton-
