| PROMPT July 4th Here in the United States, we're celebrating our independence today. Is this a special day to you? Will you do anything special? Have we as a country forgotten what this day really means? Yes, I know, several questions there. (If you do not live in the United States, please apply this prompt to the day your country celebrates as Independence, or a similar holiday.) Australia Day is the official national day of Australia. Observed annually on 26 January, it marks the 1788 landing of the First Fleet at Sydney Cove and raising of the Union Flag by Arthur Phillip following days of exploration of Port Jackson in New South Wales. Wikipedia Date: Wednesday, 26 January 2022 Significance: Date of landing of the First Fleet in Port Jackson in 1788 Observed by: Australian citizens, residents and expatriates Also called: Foundation Day, Invasion Day, Australian Natives' Association Day, Survival Day, Anniversary Day This day is a public holiday, it’s celebrated with parties, bbq’s and fireworks. Alongside all the festivities are the protests from the indigenous people who believe that this was the day their land was stolen from them. As I was born in England it doesn’t mean too much for me. It’s simply a day off.  |
| PROMPT July 3rd Do you have a list of inspirational quotes that you might refer to for guidance? Share one with us! I don’t really like quotes that are intended to inspire, however I do hear myself saying things that my mother used to say. “Always look on the right side” that’s the quote I’m known for in my family. There is usually a bright side, even in a bad situation. My daughter even bought me a bracelet on which “always look on the bright side of life” is engraved. I’ve even requested the song from ‘The life of Brian,’ is played at my funeral. Apparently it’s one of the most requested funeral songs. I must admit I’ve struggled at times this week to find a bright side, but we’ve come out on the other side and we’re okay. |
