RECENT TIMES


October, 2024

 

Less than ninety days to Christmas and a state election coming up this month so things continue to happen.

Have had an eighty year old, a seven year old and a one year old in the near family  celebrate birthdays during the month. Sue drove us to Hervey  Bay to spend some time with sister Bev who turned eighty and we spent a week with her at Burrum Heads and were joined for a few days by Nick, Catie and family. Nick had just returned from a trip tp the USA to visit with a friend so a small late celebration was held for Parkers birthday. Currently Parker's favourite song is "All I want for Christmas are my two front teeth,"as she's lost both of them.

Good to see that the three sisters-in-law who all spent time in hospital during the month are on the road to recovery. Jean has moved into a nursing home to live however but is well cared for there.

Stephen and Nicholas are still heavily involved in house renovations but pics from the job sites show things are all going well.

I really think that more time should be spent in schools on teaching children the basics of mental health. Many children and adults also do not recognize "Unhappiness" as a basic emotional state  suffered by everyone in varying amounts but whose effects can be altered by suitable treatment. The behaviours related to adrenalin rushes  also need to be understood by teenagaers and preteens too.

until next time,

Cheers and be forgiving,

Merv
