The Weekly Friday Feast

NikNikSenior Contributor22 May 2015, 5:12 pm AEST

The Weekly Friday Feast

Thank goodness it's Friday (or TGIF as some say!)

We thought we would start a thread where we could come together every Friday and "share a meal" and debrief about our week.

To participate, there are 2 requirements -

1) Bring a (virtual) plate of food

2) Bring a topic of discussion

So pull up a virtual chair, post a picture or description of what (virtual) dish you're bringing along and say hi and let us know how your week was.

Looking forward to seeing you at our first Friday Feast!

Chat soon 🙂

Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

I subscribe to the view that the "too late to do xyz" view applies on our death bed

@Jacques

But I hear you my friend. I know people in their early 20s who seem to have done it all. Depresses me at times.

I think in the end the point is that it really comes down to WHY we do the things we do. The things we value in life should be the things WE WANT to value. I admire your insight my friend.

Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

that is a good way to think @MDT society does put a lot of pressure on us, we all need to just take a step back and think of ourselves and not what others expect of us. life moves so fast these days. i am so grateful for all i have and been allowed to experiance.

Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

That is really what it is about isn't it @Jacques
Experience.
That is life in the end.
Even the smallest stories right up to the big ones.
For example, I once met John Howard (former PM). But I also remember sitting in a chair watching people ice skate in NYC a few years ago on my own. It's a private memory I have locked inside my brain. I prefer it to the one of brushing with fame.
I think I recall my pop once saying to me that he knew Richie Benaut (The former aussie cricket player). But he also raised a family and has us in his memories.

I feel like society has so many things wrong. In the haste of life we need those moments of meaning and quality to ground us.

Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

with your skill set in high demand @Bill16 have you thought about getting into teaching, like tafe or technical collage. my dad worked for tafe in the day and it was good money and no physical effort.
