G’day, lovely members! It’s another splendid afternoon, and I (Athena) am thrilled to spend it with you. Before we get into our stories and fun, I want to share this quote: ‘Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass... It’s about learning to dance in the rain.’ It reminded me to make the best out of difficult situations. But if you feel like you can’t weather the storm, I hope we can give you a bit of sunshine in any way.
Did you know the Colosseum in Rome wasn’t just for gladiator fights? From 800 to 1349, friars from a nearby convent actually lived there! They even put up walls inside to divide it into rooms.
Kismet
Destiny or fate. For example, ‘It was pure kismet that they met at the coffee shop that day.’ Pronounced as KIZ-MET.
Quote of the day
