Be a reservoir of joy, an oasis of peace, a pool of
serenity that can ripple out to those around you.
Archbishop Desmond Tutu
This is a beautiful quote and I gave it some considerable thought. In the end I decided that I am quite a calm person but too much of a complainer to live up to the sentiments espoused by Desmond Tutu in this quote. I tend to complain about such small things as having to attend doctor's appointments and pay bills. I need to remember that I am lucky to live in a society where health and social welfare are important. I am going to remember this quote and try to be less of a complainer more serene.
We had a lovely day on Easter Sunday and we spent the day at Wollongong Botanic gardens with Peter's family - all 5 children and their partners, and 7 grandchildren.

I am so lucky to be able to share these times with this beautiful family. (Please note that for the sake of privacy photos are chosen so the faces of people are either too small to see or not visible.)
We set up a picnic site in the gardens.
From our picnic site we had a lovely view of the gardens.
The more able-bodied of us participated in the egg and spoon race. There was a considerable amount of friendly 'cheating' which led to much hilarity.
The highlight of the day was the Easter egg hunt for the kids.
Instead of buying individual eggs for children, family members provided a stash of eggs for the hunt.
The children had to wait with their backs turned while the eggs were hidden.
Then they all set off to find the eggs, supervised by the adults.
The loveliest aspect of this is that as the children grow older they are keen to share their found eggs with the adults.
