We are a sorry bunch here! We complain and groan! Our standard greeting includes something about the cold!
“It is cold!” “It is freezing!”
Very lame and boring! As if it is the only thing happening here in South Africa...
No, wait! There is the minute detail of a World Cup happening on our soil! We are lamenting our sorry loss in the World Cup soccer as well.
“We lost!”
“Our Boys were pathetic!”
“It’s the referee!”
“It’s the coach!”
“It’s our Boys!”
We are a bit deflated and a bit cold here...
BUT, we still have a lot to be proud of. We actually pulled off the World Cup where everybody said it couldn’t be done. That is a lot being done on this side of the World!
I am proud of us! I really am! (I am tuning out all the negative comments, on purpose!)
And it is nearing the 21st of June. The middle of winter. Very soon it is turning, and summer is around the corner!
It is holiday time here as well! We are starting to pack for a seaside holiday. What is better than that?
A lot to be thankful for!
