Please ring me as I have a query

I wonder why we humans don’t harness the best super-power we have: choice. To choose what we will do, how we will view and then consider a circum stance. Every day our opportunities to choose are frequent, the way we choose and the choices we make shape our destiny, our happiness, and our peace of mind. As Emerson said, “A man is what he thinks about all day long”. So, prove you are worthy of fable status and choose the right thoughts! If we do, we will solve many of our problems.
A problem we can easily solve is being a statistic of extreme heat; Australia’s most deadly natural disaster. Heat kills more than any other disaster and such events are becoming longer, more frequent and intense. As we age it’s harder for our body to cool and harder to feel higher temperatures, so we might not realise we are at risk until it’s too late. Staying safe includes avoiding outdoor activities in the hottest part of the day, drinking lots and lots of water and avoiding alcohol or caffeine, wearing a broad-brimmed hat and sun glasses while seeking air-conditioned spaces such as shopping centres, cinemas or clubs. And sun-smart clothing is light coloured and loose fitting with sleeves.
As you read through our February outing options, you’ll notice many of them are to our beautiful waterways as we take advantage of the summer weather, a sea breeze and, now, without so many holidaymakers! Just because it’s warm or even hot, doesn’t mean you should stay home with blinds drawn as our buses and venues are air-conditioned.
Will you pause to think of a love of your life on the 14th? I hope so. Even if they no longer sit with us, isn’t our life richer for having them at all? I will be choosing to remember past love fondly…
Something else I am considering fondly and frankly is your return of our Annual Client Survey, sent out in December. If you’d like another copy, please let us know or visit our website. We truly want your honest feedback, ideas for additional services or how we can help you a little more or a little better. We are also asking how you use technology, so we can ensure we are planning our communication options for you appropriately.
A final though on being fabled, and how important our thoughts and feedback is courtesy of Moliere: “It is not only for what we do that we are held responsible, but also for what we do not do.”
