Edition 277 Monday April 13th 2015
Hi,the
week before last it was a cool matching white cane chair,then last week it was
railway sleepers for the garden!Yes being a dustman is the most exciting thing
you can do with your clothes on!
Of
course one needs to exercise control at all times given there is an unwritten
‘no scavenging’ law in play so all ‘treasure hunting’ needs to be ‘by
application’ only.Sooooo exciting,they do say, if you are happy in your job you
will never work a day in your life….and ‘they’ would be right!!
Fletcher says; that whilst he
understands his Fathers passion for pre loved stuff, does that have to extend
to all his ‘sort of new’ toys!?It is also cool to have older brother Mark
staying with us at the moment.He might be a bit older(30 years) but we still
hang out and talk bro stuff!!!...very cute!!
We
managed to get to one of our favourite places in the world Matua Vineyard for
another picnic this weekend.Nothing better than having the place to ourselves
to fly kites,kick a ball around and run wild amongst the vines….all for
absolutely free…..shhhh don’t tell anyone, its our secret!!!
Thanks
to those observant types amongst you who noticed the date on last weeks edition
was one day out and to those of you that didn’t (like me)…whats a day amongst
‘Upbeat’ mates!!!?
Watching
Mark and Fletcher bond and having Mum and my sister Postwoman Pat out for
Easter Sunday brunch recently makes me realise yet again how important and
vital having and spending time with family is.We don’t get to choose our
family,that is beyond our control ,so through thick and thin we need to stand
beside and behind each other….it is the type of thing that does make me well up
inside with emotion just writing these words to you. Don’t ever let a chance go
by to tell your family how much you love them and how much they mean to you….Cheers
Jonesey!
Harry and the Hendersons reckon
it wouldn’t hurt to tell them how much we love them too

Ever question
yourself or think you may have lost your touch?
I have been
trying to get a deal across the line for nearly six months??? Many times in
that period I have had occasion to question my ability to sell!
Selling is a
confidence game, when you are on a roll nothing is a problem however when
things don’t go your way it takes courage and a special ability to pick
yourself up to keep going.
I guess life is
like that too really. When things go well we feel invincible when they don’t go
so well we lose confidence and begin to doubt ourselves.
Sport is also
like that, take the Blues and the Hurricanes for instance……one who cant seem to
put a foot wrong and the other who cant win a trick no matter how hard they
seem to try!!!
Winning is a
habit but so too is losing and the scary thing is there is only a thin line
between them!
So anyway back
to me and my elusive deal…..I could have given up months ago but I chose to
persist and relentlessly pursure this salel. Others around me have given up
asking me how I am going as they are sick of hearing about how hard I am
fiinding things. This has doubled my resolve, I will not give in and I cant
wait to roll up with the deal clutched in my hand. I will parade into the
office savouring the sweet taste of success……hmmmm well that’s how I am
imagining the way this story will end……I know there is more work to do yet but
I am determined to succeed.
In a huge late
breaking development last week I managed to advance things
significantly…..watch this space because there is one thing for sure you will
hear all about every detail of how I overcame the odds to successfully
presevere in the end…never give in team !!!! Good luck out there!!!!
