Proof That Our Kids Will Be Good Looking

In this (several years old) article, a professor at UCLA concluded that biracial people are `percieved' to be more attractive than uniracial people.

Its all based on the struggle of the enzymes produced by genes as they compete to dominate. Anyway, it all adds up to the fact that our kids will be more attractive than average, looking at Ying I would already guess that anyway.

Flying Visitors

One of the great things about living in Manly is the fact that we are surrounded by nature. Compared to our time in Shanghai, we feel that we are really again part of the wonderful and beautiful natural world.

This afternoon while sitting looking out the window, a pair of Rainbow Lorikeets flew up and landed on the window sill and started looking in the window. They were very curious about what was going on inside. We just happedned to have a packet of trail mix on the desk, so I stuck my hand out the window and hand fed them some sultanas. Ying then had a go and had them eating off her dainty little fingers.

They are a beautiful bird, and showed absolutely no sign of fear as I opened the window and stuck my hand out towards them.

We love Manly!

PEOPLE COME INTO YOUR LIFE FOR A REASON

A friend sent me this article. It is an interesting read:

People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime.

When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person.

When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a 

need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a 

difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you 

physically, emotionally or spiritually.

They may seem like a godsend and they are.

They are there for the reason you need them to be.

Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, 

this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an 

end.

Sometimes they die.

Sometimes they walk away.

Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand.

What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire 

fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been 

answered and now it is time to move on.

Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has 

come to share, grow or learn. They bring you an experience of peace 

or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done.

They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy.

Believe it,it is real.

But only for a season!

LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons, things you must 

build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job 

is to accept the lesson, love the person and put what you have learned 

to use in all other relationships and areas of your life.

It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.

Thank you for being a part of my life, whether you were a reason, a 

season or a lifetime.
