In Westminster Cathedral, sits the Stone of Destiny.
Souvenired by the English from Scone Castle, it has symbolically crowned the kings of Scotland since the mists of time.
Our destiny is finite and of our own making. We try and push back the halo of ignorance, in the hope that Knowledge and Wisdom will lead us on the right path, through green pastures and still waters.
We hope that whatever the mystery that lies in wait for us, we will be treated kindly by the fates. The Greeks thought the fates were 3 women, one spinning the thread, one weaving it into the fabric of life, and one cutting it.
And so we give back more than life has given to us. This is part of a philosophy was probably imprinted by our parent, or if luck will have it, a mentor.
I come this way but once.... for I may never pass this way again. Make the most of the gifts life has given us.
It is not the cards you hold in your hand, but how you play them.
Not everyone has a winning hand. Be gracious in defeat, and mercyful and humble in victory.
Be fulfilled by the things you do for yourself and for others.
Life can be challenging at times, accept the challenges.
Do your best and never give into revenge or pettiness.
Be of good courage, and do not give in to sham and drudgery, for it is a beautiful world. You just have to find it, even though it sometimes looks like a weed.
This is the end of my year, and there is only one task I have left, and it is to thank you, one and all, for the roles you have played in this Rotary year.
You have been an inspiration to your fellow Rotarians, and to the community at large. We are nothing but drops of water in the great big ocean of life, but some of them sparkle; ... some of them sparkle.
Last month Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and Member for Gippsland, Darren Chester announced that Stage 3 at GRCH came a step closer to fruition with a Commonwealth grant of $900,000 towards the $2.1m project.
This means that the building project is now fully funded with a $600,000 contribution from the Latrobe Regional Hospital, $80,000 from the Blue Ribbon Foundation and the balance from GRCH accumulated funds.
Once the grant has been executed with the Commonwealth, the project will be formally launched with the completion expected to be in mid-2019. This helps to meet the expected increase in demand of affordable and secure accommodation now that increased regional health services are being offered by LRH.
GRCH has already obtained a planning permit for the project from Latrobe City, and are closely working with preferred builder Kingbuilt, to finalise the detailed design and building plans. After gaining the building permit, and negotiating a satisfactory commercial contract with Kingbuilt, it is anticipated that site works will commence in early July 2018.
The completion of this project will result in GRCH being able to offer 30 very generous and comfortable family units as well as other supporting infrastructure, making the facility truly a "Home Away from Home."

A young lady confidently walked around the room, carrying a raised glass of water, while explaining stress management to an audience.
Everyone knew she was going to ask the ultimate question, 'half empty or half full?'...
She fooled them all... "How heavy is this glass of water?" she inquired with a smile.
Answers called out ranged from 8 oz. to 20 oz.
She replied, "The absolute weight doesn't matter. It depends on how long I hold it. If I hold it for a minute, that's not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you'll have to call an ambulance. In each case it's the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes”.
She continued, “and that's the way it is with stress.
If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later, as the burden becomes increasingly heavy, we won't be able to carry on."
"As with the glass of water, you have to put it down for a while and rest before holding it again.
When we're refreshed, we can carry on with the burden - holding stress longer and better each time practiced.”
So, as early in the evening as you can, put all your burdens down.
Don't carry them through the evening and into the night... Pick them up tomorrow.”
