THIS HAS BEEN A GREAT DAY
HI JOURNAL
TODAY HAS HAS BEEN AN ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT DAY,
SO MUCH SO, THAT WHICH I HAVE JUST WRITTEN IS,
AN UNDER STATEMENT OF CLASSICAL MAGNIFICENCE.
BEING FRIDAY I WENT TO MY USUAL YOGA CLASS,
HELD BY MY LOCAL SUPPORT GROUP.
THIS HAS BECOME THE HIGHLIGHT OF MY WEEK.
AS WELL AS BEING A MEMBER OF MY LOCAL SUPPORT GROUP,
I AM ALSO A MEMBER OF ANOTHER GROUP,
WHICH GOES BY THE NAME OF,
'LIKE MINDED PEOPLE',
WHICH MEETS ONCE A MONTH,
ON THE LAST FRIDAY OF THE MONTH,
IN THE SAME BUILDING.
WELL, AS I WAS WAITING IN THE FOYER FOR A FRIEND,
PRIOR TO THE COMMENCEMENT OF YOGA CLASS,
PEOPLE WERE ARRIVING FOR THE OTHER GROUP MEETING.
IT WAS THEN THAT I WAS HAPPY TO BE AT HAND,
AS I NOTICED THROUGH THE GLASS DOORS,
AN ACCIDENT OCCUR.
A LADY, WHILST IN THE PROCESS REPOSITIONING HERSELF,
FROM HER VEHICLE TO HER WHEEL CHAIR,
MISSED THE SAID WHEELCHAIR AND,
FALLING HEAVILY TO GROUND.
GLAD TO BE AT HAND TO ASSIST AND,
GRATEFUL FOR THE HELP AFFORDED,
BY ANOTHER GENTLEMAN,
WE TOGETHER MANAGED IF, UN-ELEGANTLY,
TO GET THE LADY INTO HER WHEELCHAIR.
WHEELING THE LADY INTO THE MEETING HALL,
I LEFT THE LADY IN THE CAPABLE HANDS,
OF ONE OF THE SUPERVISORS,
AS I WENT OFF TO MY YOGA CLASS.
AFTER A GREAT YOGA SESSION,
I ALWAYS FEEL GREAT AFTER YOGA,
I WENT AND JOINED UP WITH MY,
'LIGHT MINDED PEOPLE GROUP',
CATCHING THE LAST TWENTY MINUTES OR SO,
OF THE KEYNOTE SPEAKER'S EXCELLENT,
MOST INTERESTING, FUNNY AND ENLIGHTENING TALK,
ON COMPUTERS, WOULD YOU BELIEVE.
THEN LUNCH WAS PROVIDED,
GIVING ME A CHANCE TO SOCIALIZE,
CATCHING UP WITH FRIENDS AND ACQUAINTANCES,
WHICH I LOVE DOING.
A RAFFLE WAS DRAWN AND I WAS HAPPY TO WIN A PRIZE.
I WAS ENJOYING MYSELF AND HAVING A WONDERFUL DAY.
THE DAY BECAME EVEN BETTER WHEN,
IT WAS DECIDED AND ANNOUNCED THAT,
NEXT MONTH WE ARE GOING ON,
A WHALE SIGHTING TRIP.
THIS IS THE ANNUAL MIGRATION OF GIANT WHALES,
DOWN THE WEST COAST OF AUSTRALIA.
RIGHT ON OUR DOOR STEP.
SO SOMETHING TO LOOK FORWARD TO.
THE DAY WAS JUST GETTING BETTER.
MEETING UP, AND SPENDING SOME TIME WITH,
THE NOW RECOVERED IN COMPOSURE,
LADY IN THE WHEELCHAIR,
WE ENGAGED IN CONVERSATION.
AN EXCELLENT CHAT IT WAS TO.
THE LADY COMING FROM SOUTH AFRICA,
WHERE I USED TO LIVE.
SO LUNCH OVER, WE ALL SAID OUR GOODBYES,
TILL WE ALL MEET UP AGAIN ON WHALE WATCHING DAY.
MY MATE GIVING ME A LIFT HOME,
WE SPENT THE REST OF THE AFTERNOON TAKING TEA,
IN MY GARDEN, ENJOYING THE BEAUTIFUL SUNSHINE AND,
MILD TEMPERATURE.
DISCUSSING MANY THINGS AS WE DO,
IN QUALITY CONVERSATION,
AGREEING ON MOST AND, NOT IN A FEW,
WE SAVORED A LOVELY DAY,
AS DARKNESS FELL.
SEEING MY MATE OFF, STANDING IN MY DRIVE WAY,
I REMARKED AS I NOTICED THE SIZE OF THE MOON,
THAT WE WERE SOON TO BE WITNESSING A FULL MOON.
WITH SEEMINGLY NOTHING OUTSTANDING HAPPENING,
NEVERTHELESS, THIS HAS BEEN A BEAUTIFUL DAY.
ALMOST SPECIAL.

Steuart, Did you get her number. Don\'t wait for the whale watchingtrip, call her and tell her how much you want to see her now. Good luck my friend. best regards Alex
Looks like Alex could catch a whale hahaha! - I completely agree with him on not waiting until the trip, feint heart never won fair lady, strike while the iron is hot! You sound in perfect spirits, you\'ve certainly lifted mine. You have a natural gift to make me smile, I am off to enjoy my weekend, I wish you well on yours.
