1. Today's Motivation"What is the most important thing that you should do right
now? It's easy to figure out the answer--the most important
thing is usually the item you least want to do. So jump on it.
Get it out of the way. Then go on to the next thing you don't
want to do and get rid of that item by completing it. You'll
be amazed at how it frees your spirit no to have them hanging
over you."
-- Tom Hopkins

2. Inspirational quote."It is a waste of time to be angry about my disability. One
has to get on with life and I haven't done badly. People won't
have time for you if you are always angry or complaining."
-- Stephen Hawking

5 Editors notesHi Friends
Welcome to you, our valued reader. Seems that last edition my glum
outlook bought some complaints from readers. Sorry about that. Just
felt I had to express my thoughts about the financial situation as
opposed to conflicting opinions.
So we move on. My nephew, Alex has written an article in this
newsletter about hope, which is the cornerstone of all spiritual
belief. I like what he shared.
We have had a good week or so up here. Not much happening, good or
bad although last week at the local art gallery, we opened an
exhibition of art by local aborigines, which was inspired by the
getting together of aborigines and scientists at Boolardy station
in the outback. The scientists are involved in the SKA project.
(explained here)
Vastly more sensitive than the world's best existing radio
telescopes, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) will be one of the
largest and most ambitious international science projects ever
devised. It will help to answer fundamental questions about the
evolution of the universe.
These two vastly different people sat down in the bush for three
days and shared their thoughts and impressions of our universe
out there!
You can find out about it inside this site, follow up the links,
it makes fascinating reading and photos to look at;
http://www.ska.gov.au/Pages/default.aspxOn the marketing front, my friend from Texas, Sherri Kirklin
invited me to become involved in a marketing exercise with traffic
wave where we offer to build peoples downlines for them. I had a
go at it and it looks like awinner this time!
You can check it out here;

That's about it for me this time. It would be great to get some
feedback as to what you would like to read about in this
newsletter, I know a lot of people read it but I don€™t hear much
back one way or another.
So till next week, may blessings fall upon you from afar!

6. ArticleHope is okay, as long as your feet are touching the groundBy Alex McKinnon*
Most of us are not famous people. We are not football players
and coaches, famous actors and actresses or the politicians and
billionaires we see on television. It seems to me that many of
us live a life of quiet desperation, conforming as best we can
to what society says will make us happy €“ happy relationships,
marriage, kids being brought up well, a house we own (or at
least mostly own), maybe a recent-model car and a few achievements
- some ribbons, an award or two, some recognition from the group
to which we belong, be it a church, organisation or charity. We
get along and indeed many of us are very happy people.
But the truth is every now again we all, including those people
we consider to have lives we aspire to, take a quiet moment and
want for more or a break when things are getting tough. It€™s
what I call €œliving in hope street€ but I am here to say; at
the risk of sounding horribly clich©d; that it€™s okay to live
in Hope Street.
Why is it okay? I believe it€™s good and healthy to hope. Hoping
helps reduce the amount of time spent being depressed and
negative about things and helps us to have the courage to believe
in the opportunity in life. It stops us getting down about the
time it takes or in not at all getting the rewards, relationships
or recognition we think we deserve.
We can take comfort in hope. We can hope for the best. We can
stop dwelling on the negative, stop criticising those who have
what we hope for. I am not talking about Christian faith, I am not
talking about God or anything of the sort, I am just talking about
you, your kids, me, and our lives, and how we can power ourselves
with the joyous hope of getting more than an occasional thrill out
of life, getting some recognition and so much of that can come
from seeing others you know and love get it too. Constantly
congratulate others when they do and see how it comes back to you
with renewed hope in your own life.
Okay well that all might sound a bit airy-fairy so to keep
ourselves grounded I have a suggestion which absolutely does not
belong to me €“ many parents, gurus of life etc will tell you that
this is one of the most powerful things to do when you need to feel
human again - take off your sandals, or your shoes and socks and
feel the ground €“ walk on the grass, in the mud or on the beach.
If you don€™t have a cent left to your name, the phone wont stop
ringing, the family is falling apart, the world is closing in on
you, walk outside, in your bare feet, touch something €“ get a
sensory response and remember there is hope. Sensory stimulation
is great and real, whether it be another person€™s body, a flower,
the ground, your hair €“ doesn€™t matter, just stop for a minute feel
something and remember the reality of it all. Stop yourself and
breathe. Put one foot in front of the other. Stop worrying, start
hoping and start living again.

7. A little humour.Two hunters are out in the woods when one of them collapses. He
doesn't seem to be breathing and his eyes are glazed. The other
guy whips out his cell phone and calls the emergency services.
He gasps: "My friend is dead! What can I do?" The operator
says: "Calm down, I can help. First, let's make sure he's dead."
There is a silence, then a shot is heard. Back on the phone,
the guy says:
"OK, now what?"
-----------------------
Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson were going camping. They pitched
their tent under the stars and went to sleep. Sometime in the
middle of the night Holmes woke Watson up and said: "Watson,
look up at the stars and tell me, what do you see?"
Watson replied: "I see millions and millions of stars."
Holmes said: "And what do you deduce from that?"
Watson replied: "Well, if there are millions of stars, and if
even a few of those have planets, it's quite likely there are
some planets like earth out there. And if there are a few planets
like earth out there, there might also be life."
And Holmes said: "Watson, you idiot, it means that somebody
stole our tent."
------------------------ €
A woman gets on a bus with her baby. The bus driver says: "That's
the ugliest baby that I've ever seen. Ugh!" The woman goes to the
rear of the bus and sits down, fuming. She says to a man next to
her: "The driver just insulted me!" The man says:
"You go right up there and tell him off €“ go ahead, I'll hold your
monkey for you."
