I took this photo yesterday morning at Garyvoe in East Cork (Irl)
A sunrise anywhere is beautiful but when you see one with the sea as a backdrop it is always special. Every sunrise is filled with hope and promise. It is a new beginning. It reminds us that today is a day to live as best we can. I pray that today will be good for you 🙏
I have just uploaded my new video below
On This Day
On Oct 9th 2022 the brightest cosmic explosion ever seen happened on this day last year. Scientists say it happened 2.4 billion light years away and is thought to have been a massive star collapsing to form a black hole in a 1 in 10,000 year event.

Significance Of Today
Today is World Post Day. Despite the fact that so much communication is by email today, our postal services are still very much valued and important. There is nothing like receiving a letter from someone and we know also how important the delivery of parcels has become with the increase in online shopping.
Interesting Quote for Today
“In a world filled with texts and emails, receiving a handwritten letter is like finding a rare treasure.” ~Author Unkown
Did you know we receive on average about 500 pieces of junk mail per house every year. All of this adds up to so many trees needlessly getting cut down to create junk. A sign saying ‘No Junk Mail’ next to your letter box is a good start to reduce this problem.

Thought For The Week
Team means Together Everyone Achieves More!’ ~Author Unknown
Science has a great way of explaining different things to us. Some scientific results can be applied to life and sometimes with a spiritual message. At an agricultural event scientists gathered and watched one horse pull 3,000kgs and another 4,000 kgs. Together they would be expected to pull 7,000 kgs. However, when they were paired together and measured, the two horses were able to pull a total weight of 15,000kgs. This is impressive. Scientists call it the principle of synergy.
Synergy is explained as the interaction of two parts working together to create something better than either original component. To put it another way, more can be done through team effort than can be accomplished by each individual member. In order for the principle of synergy to work, there has to be teamwork.
We sense and know this. We know that when a team works together great things can happen. In sport there have been great comebacks even when the odds were stacked against them. It is not putting our effort down or saying our effort is not important. But when we can work with someone else, when we can share a worry or crisis with somebody, when we ask for advice or reach out in hope to someone else, the results are so much better.
In the Gospel of Luke we read how Jesus sent them out in pairs ahead of him, into every town and village that Jesus had planned to visit. This was not by chance or accidental. Jesus knew that working together works. It’s the same principle still working today. Who can you reach out to, to make it work better for you?
