All We Have is This Very Moment

6 Sep

Father’s Day is September 5th in Australia. I understand now how much I miss my father on this very special day. If I could just hop on a plane and give him an uber big hug, that would make it fabulous.

Instead, Darren and I hopped on the ferry to Manly Beach–which is North Sydney and about 30 mins from our house in Newtown. What a difference it is here. In New Zealand we would put on our sweaters and hats and just walk to the beach. In five minutes my toes were in the sand.

We choose the city life because we don’t want Australia to be anything like New Zealand. And, it is not. The beaches here are full of attitude, surfers, people wanting to be seen. I love the hustle. I also love that the water is warm.

I am loving life in Australia. Happy Father’s Day Dad. I love you so very very much.

    So this may be the beginning of your writing career! definately you should post something every day. I challenge you to a writing dual. I need a blog too! I love you and I love Darren too! Maybe you could include Jeff in your plans for a future brewery business. He is working so hard. really burning him out. Julian and Stephanie are working hard alos, just do not see them very much. and Lauren has worked non stop since she came back from seeing you. So I have filled my days with Tiffanys and should be starting Ladies Bible Class next week. That I need more than ever since prayer is what we most need. Will pray for you to find a nice Church. Hope you could become members and join in with a good group of friends/brothers and sisters. Don’t get so busy that you can’t come home!
