month of June

Image
  June has been a busy month for me, filled with learning, friendship, and plenty of fun activities. I have enjoyed keeping active, trying new things and staying involved with my community. I feel young at heart and enjoy making the most of every opportunity that comes my way. I enjoyed visiting the Te Puke centre to catch up with everyone and play basketball. It is a fun way for me to keep fit, active and spend time with my friends and share a few laughs. I also visited the Papamoa library for  te reo storytime about Matariki that is in july, it was very interesting and I loved it.

month of may

  May has been an awesome month, packed with great energy, hard work, and plenty of personal growth. It was my birthday this month. I turned 61. When I came to work everyone sang happy birthday to me, I felt so loved from my friends at Arohanui xx. The bush walks this month have been a major highlight.

A huge highlight has been tuning into the native bird sounds along the way, which has made these mid week treks incredibly peaceful and rewarding. I did some fantastic hands-on work over at the Welcome Bay Hot Pools. It wasn't just about putting in the hard yards to help maintain the facility; there was also plenty of time earned to sit back, relax. I enjoyed a well-deserved soak in the natural hot water pool. Balancing good honest work with total relaxation was the perfect mix. Sports was really fun this month. I tried a few new games, the best one was the human board game....
