Thanks for that DW! Too kind!

Ta Jax! It’s the incredible stories of the real heroes like Gaz that really need to be shared. They’re the stories that evoke optimism and positivity and the critical message that there are truly good people doing inspiring things for fellow humans. It shows people that there is hope. I can’t think of too many things that would be as soul destroying as what Gaz has had to endure, yet I’m sure his trademark smile is continuing to shine through it all. Give the old bugger a hug from me as well!

Love from Pete and Tara!

As you know, Gaz is in travel…an industry that for the past 18 months has been affected probably more than any other…especially for those who specialise in overseas travel. Not only have they had no bookings or income coming in, they’ve had to refund a whole year’s worth of commissions on all the bookings that have had to be cancelled over the past year…a double whammy! They couldn’t just close up shop because what would happen then to all of their clients waiting on refunds and credits and needing to carry out cancellations, let alone those poor clients trying to get overseas to say goodbye to loved ones on their death beds.

These have been the most testing of times and yet he continues to get up every single day looking for the positives in what lies ahead. And like you, he continues to be optimistic about our future and about people in general.

Thanks for writing this article because it’s helped remind me what an absolute champion my hubby is. I probably better go and tell him that ?

Sending lots of love to you and Tara xxx

Appreciate your input and perspective Warren. Thanks for sharing it. Covid has certainly been a fascinating learning experience for us all. I’m always up for engaging in a well presented respectful discussion. It’s how we both earn our respective livings. We should aspire to be shining Six Star examples for others to follow. Thanks for dropping by!

G’Day Suzanne! How awesome to see you pop up here! Ta for taking the time to read my piece and give some excellent commentary. It sure has been a crazy 17+ months! I think we’ve all picked up some wonderful personal learnings, and learned a lot about many ion our social circles. Hopefully we’ll be allowed on a plane to come visit you all again sometime soon! Much love! X

I loved debating at school yet this seems to be abolished from all aspects of life, media and social media – it is I’m right you are wrong full stop no debate or discussion.

Mass media and many other sources of communication impact on people’s responses including time of day etc.

Medical practitioners provide various methods to handle stress, frustration and depression yet there is no one size fits all. Sometimes people need to vent as long as it doesn’t hurt others and people empathise with each individuals situation.

Peter, we have had such a discussion which did not end the way I expected yet I guess stepping into other peoples shoes and agreeing to disagree is difficult for all parties involved in a two way communication.

Great blog and as always, open to interpretation and opposing views.

I’d say you’ve got those priorities in perfect order Rosey!

Much love! Miss you!
