Yes. I agree. And still go to do a job and never come home. I hadn't thought about it in terms of the here and now before, just those who didn't come home a long time ago. On the news here this past Friday they talked about the 10 Australian soldiers who were killed in Afghanistan this past year and a service at the National War Memorial commemorating their service. Still happening. Extremely sad.

FORTUNE COOKIE ...
Genius isn't anything more than elegant common sense.
Success is the maximum utilization of the ability that you have.
The past cannot be changed; the future is still in your power.
Live and work but do not forget to play, to have fun in life and really enjoy it.
While there's life, there's hope.
We can't help everyone, but everyone can help someone.
Real generosity is doing something nice for someone who will never find out.
Your talent will be acknowledged.
You will soon have an opportunity to make a change to your advantage.
Your principles mean more to you than any money or success.
Anyone who keeps the ability to see beauty, never grows old.
Winning is not everything, but the effort to win is.
Real friendship is shown in times of trouble; prosperity is full of friends.
Obstacles are those annoying things we encounter when we lost sight of our goals.
Never leave that till tomorrow which you can do today.
Your smile brings cheerfulness to other people. Smile more!
Reward yourself with a gift for the work well done.

THE WASHING-UP SONG ...
Sing a song of washing-up, water hot as hot, cups and saucers, plates and spoons, dishes such a lot!
Work the dish-mop round and round, wash them clean as clean, polish with a dry white cloth, how busy have we been!

DOMESTIC ECONOMY ...
I will have few cooking pots, they shall be bright, they shall reflect to blinding God's straight light.
I will have four garments, they shall be clean, my service shall be good, though my diet mean.
Then I shall have excess to give to the poor, and right to counsel beggars at my door.

A NICE CUP OF TEA ...
I like a nice cup of tea in the morning, just to start the day you see, and at half-past eleven, well my idea of heaven, is a nice cup of tea.
I like a nice cup of tea with my dinner, and a nice cup of tea with my tea, and when it’s time for bed, there’s a lot to be said, for a nice cup of tea!

WHAT DO YOUR HANDS SAY ABOUT YOU ...
You are logical, analytical, and rational. You have good verbal skills. Bold and daring, you're not afraid to change your life if you think it needs an overhaul. Practical and down to earth, you're a doer not a dreamer. You rather get something done than think about it all day. Your emotions tend to be nervous and potent. Your energy, both positive and negative, deeply impacts your life - Copy and paste this link to try the quiz for yourself - http://www.blogthings.com/whatdoyourhandssayaboutyouquiz
