Yes its another Australia Day!
Time to reflect on just how damn lucky we are to live in this country.
To be honest I have never given much consideration to Australia Day, however this week I spent some time with a lady that sponsor's six children through World Vision.
I should add that she has been sponsoring six children at any given time for the last 15 years or so.
In Australia, even the lowest of income families can afford to put food on the table, clothe their children and see a doctor, sadly when these basic needs aren't met in Australia it is usually due to another underlying issue such as drugs, alcohol or gambling.
The children she sponsors wouldn't have access to any of these basic needs without her contributions.
I often take for granted just how lucky we are to live in Australia.
There are many people who stood for their Australian citizenship today they may have come from countries where there are no freedoms and life is a struggle for survival each and every day.
I hope they find peace in their 'new' country.
Happy Australia Day.
