This week is supposed to be a celebration, with today marking the founding of this country "New Zealand" - oh so long ago. On the TV News tonight, we saw that Australians are seemingly over the top when it comes to Patriotism and their national day - just like the Americans, yet it seems that unless we are watching or participating in a "national sport" against a team or individual such as Australia, we seem to be rather low key, or modest about it. Why is that ?
Also tonight, we saw the kiwis getting beaten in the Sevens. Hard to take, the defeat. Who will we blame ? The coach ? I hope not. The players ? Maybe. Fate ? Probably. But we did get beaten. Maybe the Poms just wanted it a bit more than we did. So in the spirit of sport, we should say "well done England" and get over it. But will we ? Will we accept that the better twam won ? Maybe. We need to stay one step ahead of bitterness. One step ahead of bad blood, of anger and ugly stuff that has been seen by many teams/nations. Lets just move on.
It was a good weekend. Good things have happened. The weather was hot and mostly fine. Be thanksful for the good things. Life life.
Keep the faith !
