Sparkly Gems
If you like pretty gems that sparkle and shine,
I invite you to dig in my virtual mine.
My first is purple, fit for a king,
My second is green where Dorothy did her thing.
My third is red, July's birthstone as well,
My fourth is seen in strings and is found inside a shell.
My fifth is hard, pure Carbon and expensive to buy,
My sixth is Crocodolite, striped like the big cat's eye.
Seventh is two words, a man-made fake of April's stone,
Eighth is very dark and found at Lightning Ridge alone.
Now take from each gem, one letter in its turn,
And you will find the stuff for which even the god's yearn.

Quotations
If your ship doesn't come in swim out to it.
Nothing in life is to be feared it is only to be understood.
To forgive is human to forget is divine.
If a million people believe in a foolish thing it is still a foolish thing.
Life is unfair but remember sometimes it is unfair in your favour.
Never look back unless you are planning to go that way.
The work will wait while you show the child the rainbow but the rainbow won't wait while you do the work.
The hunger for love is a lot harder to remove than the hunger for bread.
No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.
Succes is getting what you want happiness is liking what you get.
Genius is perseverance in disguise.
Don't be afraid to take a big step if one is indicated; you can't cross a chasm in two small jumps.
Happines is something that comes through doors we don't even remember leaving open.
When the future is hinged on the next words said, don't let logic interfere, believe your heart instead.
Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored.
Start by doing what is necessary, then what's possible and suddenly your doing the impossible.
I resolved never to do something i would be afraid to do if it were the last hour of my life.
In spite of everything i still believe that people are good at heart.
Find something that isn't a miricale, you'll have cause to wonder then.
Wisely and slow they stumble that run fast.
Look at everything as though you were seeing it either for the first or last time then your world will be filled with glory.
In the long run the pessimist may be right but the optimist had a better time on the trip.
Intelligence without ambition is a bird without wings.
It requires wisdom to understand wisdom: the music is nothing if the audience is deaf.
Wisdom is the reward you get for a lifetime of listening when you'd have preferred to talk.
Life isn't fair. It's just fairer than death, that's all.
Half of being clever is making sure you’re not being stupid.
Only the shallow know themselves.
Whatever we learn has a purpose and whatever we do affects everything and everyone else, if even in the tiniest way. Why, when a housefly flaps his wings, a breeze goes round the world; when a speck of dust falls to the ground, the entire planet weighs a little more; and when you stamp your foot, the earth moves slightly off its course. Whenever you laugh, gladness spreads like the ripples in a pond; and whenever you're sad, no one anywhere can be really happy. And it's much the same thing with knowledge, for whenever you learn something new, the whole world becomes that much richer.
We cross our bridges when we come to them and burn them behind us, with nothing to show for our progress except a memory of the smell of smoke, and a presumption that once our eyes watered.
To be positive: To be mistaken at the top of one's voice.
We all have darknesses within us, and we all have to learn how to deal with them... But we have to recognize what they are first.
Whether it's tame or a stray, a cat is a creature that lives free.
Holiday camp PGL
PGL is basically an adventure camp where you stay for a week and do lots o fun activities you wouldn't normaly get to do. I went with one of my friends to the camp up in Dalguise, Perth.We would wake up early and go down to the canteen for breakfast which would be either cooked or like cereal or something. After Breakfast we would get ready to do our morning activities. There would be two activities we would do followed by lunch. Then would come our afternoon activities. There would be two of those as well. After dinner we would then go to the tuckshop if we hadn't been at lunch. We would have free time to do what we liked and then we would do an evening activity where we would watch a film or something. Then we would go to sleep and the whole process would begin again in the morning. Even though it was a bit repetitive it was enjoyable since all the activities were diffrent.
