  Speaker 1: All right, all right, all right, yes.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: Yes, indeed you are the author of your story, of
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: your journal.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: In this journal, you will get to know yourself better,
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: and who better to get to know?
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: This week I returned for the most incredible trip through Europe,
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: trip I have never done in my life. You can't
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: imagine how great it was. The history from the books
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: we read came to life in front of our eyes,
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: and the go kart track on the cruise boat was
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: good too. Italy was grand, Athens beyond belief, Turkey foreign
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: in every way, the south of France breathtaking. But I'm
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: left grateful, Grateful that my grandparents left us the resource
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: to do this trip, Thankful my parents chose to use
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: that money this way and didn't spend it on themselves.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: Honored that my seventy six year old father found the
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: street to keep up despite his embattled prostate, even though
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: the cobbled streets of Pompeii at forty two degrees did
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: to make it easy.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: Ask I hated wild He knows all about that.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, indeed, amaze it the way my mother planned the trip.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: My young kids may not remember this adventure, but I've
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: already seen them build Rezis alliance and turn from toddlers
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: to little people and happy to be home. Throughout the trip,
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: we didn't blow thirty five degrees and the crowds were
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: frantic and the city's choked. We left the Dubai desert
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: at a throat drying forty three degrees to a liveable
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: sixteen degrees in Auckland. The fresh air, the space, the
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: familiar accent. The world is wonderful. But don't forget just
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: how lucky we are right here in God's own.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: Can I just say quickly that was lovely.
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: I saw the growth in your girls because I went
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: to school pickup yesterday and they were basically like, hey, Tony,
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: what's up?
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: And it's like whoa I speak now?
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: Now?
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: Hi journal.
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: On any given day, we can see all kinds of
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: sad headlines in the news. Some are horrible, some are tragic,
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: Some make you question where some parts of society is heading.
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: But one of the saddest I read this week was
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: about the declining sales of Champagne and the reason why
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: the sales are down is due to and I quote,
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: a lack of joy in the world, and they really
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: bummed me out. I know times are tough for finances
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: and family preces and job cuts and the cost of
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: pretty much everything going up, the lack of time to
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: get things done, even the fact that we're in the
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: depths of winter. But I also like to look at
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: things class are full. So winter means falling asleep to
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: the sound of rain, nature's lullaby. Yesterday's might be wheat
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: and cold at the moment, but they're also getting longer.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Summer is on the way.
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: There are some incredible stories of courage and comebacks all
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: through the Olympics. Right now, the second season of Cold
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: from Accounts is on. It's not only brilliant, it's free
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: on TV and Z Plus. It's the funniest thing on
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: TV right now. I love that show. It might also
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: even mean it's a song on the radio. How lucky
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: are you that you happen to be listening to the
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: radio at that time that song came on. I'm a
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: big believer in the thought that the more you celebrate,
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: the more you'll have to celebrate. So pop that cork
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: and raise that glass to you, my friend. There's nobody
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: else like you, and you're worth celebrating.
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: Oh thanks, Jay, So I love that you're encouraging you
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: around to drink this weekend.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Could be fine, well, pop a little something whatever. Also,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: just on the Olympics.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: Every single time I sit down to watch it, I
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: turned to my husband and all the kids and go,
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: how good is the Olympics?
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: Isn't it pure joy? Like I just relished.
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: That's fantastic.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, dear journal.
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: It's the same feeling every year around this time for
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: winter sports coaches, isn't it.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: This is my sixth year and counting.
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: So I'm speaking from experiences where in the trenches and
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: the mahi is tough. If you're with me in this,
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: I want you to know that I get it. Those
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: trainings and games and the whipping wind and the rain.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: The athletes and kids themselves are tired and scratchy at
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: this point of the season, and you bear the brunt
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: of it. Particularly if you're coaching cormonal girls like me.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: You're also weary yourself.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: That immense enthusiasm that you brought into the season is
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: being tested hard. The relentless schedule is only ramping up
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: with into school zone days, tournaments and player development. And
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: don't even start me on the juggle with other codes
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: and activities. Not to mention the spreadsheets of game time,
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: player of the days, ride shares, arranging umpires, managing parental expectations,
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: the gazebos for the rain, and how to sneak in
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: that extra practice before the playoffs. Just as it feels
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: like it all becomes too much and you profess to
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: your partner, I'm not sure I've got the energy for
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: this next year, one of your charges does something amazing.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: They actually do what you.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: Taught them, That one beautiful accept a glorious shot on goal,
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: That sublime pass will even better. They offer to carry
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: the ball bag, and suddenly, against all odds, you find
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: yourself still awake at ten PM planning their summer training,
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: and say, that's.
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: A little snapshot of our week, hopefully for a nice one.
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: Either way, the weekend is even better for you. Tony
