Don't forget that we make our own fate/future................................

I think Shorten will get it as Morrison seems fake.

I'm sure that the more than three hundred people that stepped aboard those two Boeing 737 Max 8 aircraft thought that they were the masters of their own futures too but I've learnt that life is about making the best of what gets thrown in your face.
Your life is obviously different. Good luck to you

Exactly.Studies actually have shown that people who can have a positive outlook or get on with things even in the face of adversity do a lot better health wise.

Over the last year, I've been (on & off) writing up some of my family history. I don't come from any landed gentry. Quite the opposite. A couple of convicts, some others were Irish escaping the great potato Blight in the mid 19th century. I read up on conditions in the prisons and for the poor and all i can say is i don't think life has ever been easy for a lot of the people who have walked this earth.

Even now a lot of people have troubles and sadnesses in their lives that others won't necessarily know about.

We're not in charge of our fate, we can't always control what happens around us, all we can control is how we react to it.

Hmm, better not take up fortune telling as a second career.

Yep, a bit like my footy tipping at times. 

A close result, only 9 seats the difference and take away Nationals from Libs then it's much closer.

A lot of people are very surprised and in Victoria, Labor - 22 Liberal - 11

But I think candidates were equally bad, so perhaps the status quo from past has shone through.
