Appreciate the little things, for one day you may look back and realise they were the big things. Robert Brault.
Off for our walk last night, we were delighted to see the thong tree back again at the beach. I don't know who puts this tree up, but it is such a joy to see and it brings smiles of delight to so many people. (Update... we found out the tree creator's name is Mary Pavicich)
We went up to the tree to take a close up photo,
and this time we noticed a message at the base of the tree...
On the back of the tree we read...
It was such fun, like looking for buried treasure.
So we dug up the book and wrote in our wish for the season.
Then we safely buried it again.
It was such a heart warming process, we wandered off with the loveliest feeling. I'll remember that for a long time. If the people who did the tree ever happen to read this, thank you so much... you've brought us so much joy, and so much joy to so many people walking the beach in Port. I've seen so many faces light up when seeing it. (Gee don't we all need more of that in our world and our lives?) We wish you and yours and everyone reading this a Christmas full of heartwarming wonder and love.
If you happen to be in Port Macquarie and are wondering where it is, I'll give you a hint... if you happen to find Lighthouse Beach and go for a walk, you just might find it.
