Reason # 15 FOREIGN Countries


Today, our children (Minette and her fiancé Altus) left for Spain for a two-week holiday. We wish them a fantastic trip and safe travels. 

There’s something truly special about visiting foreign countries. The excitement before leaving on an overseas holiday is a unique kind of thrill—a mix of anticipation, curiosity, and joy. As the departure date nears, each suitcase and passport feels like a ticket to a great adventure. Imaginations run wild with thoughts of unfamiliar places, new experiences, and the promise of escape from the everyday. Even the smallest details—passport checks, last-minute packing, or double-checking flight times—become part of a joyful ritual. Not to mention the trip to the airport. It’s a time filled with joy and expectation, where the unknown is not feared but embraced, and the world feels wide open and waiting.

Visiting beautiful Spain, I imagine, is like stepping into a world vibrant with history, culture, color and passion. I’ve heard that the country offers something unforgettable—from the golden beaches of the Costa del Sol to the winding alleys of Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter. Scenes of majestic cathedrals, Moorish palaces, and sun-drenched plazas paint a vivid picture in my imagination. May they enjoy every moment. We can't wait to see the pictures...!Olé!

And so, for me too, this is the perfect cue to be filled with traveler's gratitude — also remembering the foreign places I’ve had the privilege of visiting in my life so far. Some were due to work or study engagements; others were family holidays.

I am fortunate to have visited the following places;

Maldives (Alimatha)

Rio de Janeiro (Brazil)

Buenos Aires (Argentina)

Mauritius

Madagascar

Seychelles

Germany

Greece

the Netherlands

Belgium

France

Zimbabwe

Zambia

Angola

Botswana

Mozambique

Malawi

Namibia

Lesotho

Phuket...

....and may there be a few more still to come.

HERE ARE SOME MEMORIES!!




















Bon Voyage

Reason # 1 LIFE is always worth CELEBRATING

Image
The 60!  (For TODAY's installment, scroll down to the bottom and click on the link in blue) Turning 60 is Special Turning 60 is more than just a milestone—it's a celebration of wisdom, resilience, and life richly lived. It's a moment to pause and reflect on decades of experiences, lessons learned, and relationships nurtured. At 60, you've likely faced and overcome challenges, celebrated triumphs, and grown into a deeper understanding of yourself and the world. Sixty is special because it's the age where confidence often meets clarity. The uncertainties of youth have softened, replaced by a grounded sense of who you are. You've earned the right to say no without guilt and yes with conviction. There’s a freedom in this stage of life—a chance to pursue passions, share knowledge, and shape a legacy with intention. It’s also a time of connection. Whether through family, friends, or community, turning 60 reminds us that our most meaningful moments are often shared....

Reason # 2 House Rules & STORY TELLING

Image
The Gratitude Journey Journal This is going to be quite a journey— which I intend to keep super short at times, because this is not the book YET… ha ha! ( As if my life is really interesting enough to write a novel about.) Still, life is always    a precious gift, and I do have quite a few stories to tell... Once, when I asked my children to give a one- sentence summary of how they see me, they said: " Jy is ' n storieverteller, Pappa!" Well, I can’t fault them on that one, because storytelling is an integral part of my life. Maybe it started back when I was a teenager, and the favourite storyteller to my siblings’ young kids. The briefing was always the same and always short: " Ons gee vir jou ' n sin, en dan moet jy die res vertel..." And so, many a story began. Funnily  enough  (or sadly even)  , I told fewer stories to my own kids. Instead, I played make- believe  with them. Once I  even built a whole Fairytale  storyboard— complete with a...

Reason # 3 Each life is a GIFT - whether you are a "BONT", BLACK or WHITE sheep

Image
  One of the 60 things I daily celebrate, is the fact that every life is such a gift - hence I  don't really fancy the celebrity culture of our age very much.... Instead I rather want to CELEBRATE each life! Because I think that each person is a gift to the world. You carry a talent, a gift, that is just right for what the planet needs at a time like this - YES YOU!!. Hence, I don't believe in clever or less clever people - I think we are all talented with the right attributes, in the right measure - we have within us all the "things" we need for the story/experience (#SoulReasons) of this lifetime... Each life is a quiet miracle, sacred not for its visibility but for its very being. In a culture that elevates celebrities and public achievement, it's easy to forget that worth is not measured by spotlight or applause. The teacher who shapes young minds, the nurse who soothes pain, the neighbor or friend  who shows kindness, the engineer or manager or data analyst —...
