Sunday Edition
G'Day members! And a very happy Sunday to you all. How is your Sunday treating you so far? Well, we hope. We also hope you've got yourself a nice cuppa and some breakfast prepared and you're ready to dive right into our Sunday edition, because my goodness we have some good content to show you all! But of course, first and foremost, we have our quote of the week…
"Life is too short to waste time on people who don't appreciate you."
This is such a powerful quote, and one that we should all live by. There are too many people in the world who don't appreciate the good people in their lives, and they end up taking them for granted. But life is too short to waste time on those people. We should focus our time and energy on the people who appreciate us, and who we appreciate. So today, we challenge you to reach out to someone who you appreciate and just let them know. It could be a family member, a friend, or anyone really. It’s always nice to hear someone say that they appreciate you, so why not go and make someone’s day.
Now, let's move on to some news from across Australia and around the world this week…

This black and white photo from the Museum Victoria collection shows 6 boys playing a game of marbles. It was taken in Perth, Western Australia in April 1955 in a government school. Look how skinny the boys look and none of them are wearing shoes! It’s so crazy to think how much times have changed. You don’t see kids playing marbles anymore!

So an 80 year old man went to the doctor for a check-up and the doctor was amazed at what good shape the guy was in...
The doctor asked, "To what do you attribute your good health?"
The old timer said, "I'm a biker and that's why I'm in such good shape”
“I'm up well before daylight on Sundays and out sliding around corners, "shootin" sand washes and riding up and down the steepest, wildest mountains I can find at the crack of dawn”
