This is kitesurfing at its best. With a good strong wind this kite surfer is showing how its done!! It may look easy but it takes sheer skill, courage and bravery to get up to such heights as this.

‘Good old days start with good new days, like today.’ ~Denise Settle

How often we hear, “in the good old days….” We hear of a simpler lifestyle, plain food and great neighbours. We hear about less money, more hardships but a greater satisfaction with life. We hear of more quality time and a better way of life. Some if not all of these have been slowly eroded with time, affluence and materialism. We certainly need more of the spirit of the good old days. The past can never become the present but the spirit of the good old days begins with a good new day like today. It begins with the realisation that it’s we ourselves who are always in control of quality time, whether it is with ourselves, family or friends. There may be only two weeks left in Lent, but I can turn them into quality time by choosing moments that bring me closer to God.
