I went to a mine in the middle of bloody nowhere this week. We took a 2 hour 'mudhopper' flight out of Townsville into central Far North Queensland. Three and a half driving hours north west of Mount Isa. Yes, as middle-of-bloody-nowhere as that! It was rather romantic to experience somewhere that remote and special to meet some of the people who fly in to work out that way. But it was truly sobering to put a 'face' to the seemingly endless number of mine disasters that are happening in our world these days.
This week I'm grateful for...
1. My job - I have it, it interests me, it takes me on adventures a surprising number of times for a basic office worker!
2. LOML's job - because he's not going down into a mine every day.
3. Milk - as one miner put it "you can't afford to be lactose-intolerbullshit' around here. You need to drink your milk or you don't stay healthy.
So, what's making you smile today? Grab my Grateful button from my sidebar if you like (see, over there...
