On Saturday after receiving an email that changed my plans for Sunday and made me realise things need to change forever otherwise they will stay the same and I don't want that.
Feeling a bit sad I made a cup of tea and switched on the TV.
An old movie had started the original "Pollyanna"
Pollyanna you may remember introduces everyone to the Glad Game, no matter what happens, or how bad it is, or how sad you are, you must find something to be glad about.
This started me thinking, there is not a lot to be glad about - or is there?
War with Iraq
I'm glad because there is a Change in Global Thinking. George Bush and a few others, made us want Peace more then we ever have before.
As the first verse of the One Mind One Voice poem says
Across the world, across the net
Our hearts reach out and touch
Joined together for all times
No faith, no race, no hate
As we merge and become
One Mind One Voice
That is not going away when the war is over, we are here to say till there is peace and a better world for Caitlin and all the children of the world.
Bush hasn't won the war.
Humanity has won and has come a step closer to Peace and with it the survival of the planet.
Bush hasn't stopped terrorism, but the Family of Humanity can.
So I say thank you Mr Bush. I'm glad you have helped in a way you never dreamed possible.
I'm glad, very glad Mr Bush you did what you did, no one could have changed your mind, it was made up long ago after September 11. Yu made so many people not want the same things you did.
I'm glad because the people of the world know in their souls know that something is not quite right about the War with Iraq. It will leave a bitter taste in all our mouths for a long time. There is no victory in might is right.
I'm glad that the taste of Peace is so very appealing to all of us. Lets make it our daily diet food.
I'm glad there is a Change in Global Thinking because only that change of thinking will save us all and Mother Earth. The old thinking isn't working, I think we all know that.
The next war is not North Korea but SARS
I have just heard my brother in Taipei is in quarantine at home till next Monday.
He will be fined $3,000 Aus dollars if he leaves his place, or if he doesn't answer the phone each time the health authorities ring. All this because someone in his office may have the virus.
I'm glad about SARS because....... It proves Michael Jackson being accused of being weird when he always wore masks, was not that weird at all. Just ahead in his thinking.
I'm glad because Taiwan is taking it serious

I want to share a few positive things with you, not to take us away from the horrors of the world of our making. But to give us all HOPE for Caitlin and the children of the world and their futures.
First a poem sent by Yahya in Melbourne called the child it was written a long time ago.

I 'm glad because I meet two Yahya's, one in Pakistan and one in Melbourne and they are both lovely.
Next I came across a story written by Rex Jory from the Advertiser in South Australia, called Haunted by the body on a city footpath
http://www.onemindonevoice.org/ow/rexjory.html
I'm glad because in amongst all the stories there are still some journalist who care more about the person then the story they are writing about.
I'm glad because it made me remember a friend of a friend and to care about him and wonder where he is now.

Then I received a copy of a speech that has given me HOPE for the people of Iraq
http://www.onemindonevoice.org/ow/citypeople.html
I'm glad because there are people like this in the armed forces.
So glad was I feeling that yesterday I took the first step to moving back down the Sunshine Coast and to living back in the Noosa Shire.
I'm glad because I will be closer to Caitlin and my other grandchildren and my Mum.
I'm glad because I have so much support in Noosa that a phone call could start a
One Mind One Voice Children's Festival for 2004.
A Festival to be officially opened by Caitlin Jean, Futurist, Australia. She will be about three and a half by then and should be ready for her first official engagement.
A festival that I have invited a twelve year old little boy named Ishmaeel from Baghdad to. To show a little boy there are lots of Hands from around the world who do care about him.
I am glad because I now have lots of Hands of Peace from around the world to help him find Peace.
