I’ve had the pleasure this week of mixing with some wonderfully good humoured people locally.

Goodwill is like having a gift of complete safety a happy spirit that lifts all about it a respectful open interaction where we are treated as equals without manipulation fear calculation.

Our bountiful citizens of goodwill are women but obviously it is not an attitude of spirit confined to women.

One older lady radiating goodwill is quietly active in our community as a volunteer reading to children in a local school and leading bird surveys locally.

The other women of goodwill are the staff at Curves Keperra. They relate with absolute courtesy and openness and respect and friendliness and lack of judgementalism. I’d like to give Curves Keperra the Award for the Happiest Place in the upper Kedron Brook valley for this month. Because of the wonderful spirit of goodwill that glows from the staff creating an atmosphere of open uplifted spirit among the women clients. The place is alive with fun and happiness and bounce and alive female chat. Wonderful.

Goodwill means well to all it meets. Goodwill offers no harm.

Goodwill is surely a wonderful attitude of spirit that can enrich our community the more of it we each bring to our interactions with our neighbours and others locally.

Thank you to these 5 women who blessed me with such a precious gift this week.
