HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY ONE AND ALL, NEAR AND FAR, HERE AND THERE, YOUNG AND OLD, SHORT OR TALL, ETC ETC....
Ok so I am sat here at work, writing and serving, weeding and eating, drinking diet coke and talking on the walkie-talkie to my man and my girl, but it is a good day !
I am in the flow.
I like the Australian National Anthem on the whole, though the line " girt by sea " always makes me larf ! I cry sometimes when I sing it at appropriate occasions and I always put my hand on my heart. For, though English by birth, I am proud to have pledged my heart to Australia. I wouldn't live anywhere else, really, and truthfully.....
I also cry at " I still call Australia home " and " Tenterfield Saddler " and " Waltzing Matilda " and " We are Australian ". They are great songs.
So on this Australia Day 2007, give thanks and gratitude to wherever it is you live....you are all special, and what is a great place for you, is just that.
I love you all. Yes, all of you.
