It is heartening (in these troublesome times) to know that we can rely on the good nature of many people if we are prepared to ask for it.
We do often hear of some poor behaviour from people on social media and news channels but there are very many more examples of people helping others so lets not forget it.
Merry Christmas to all who read this.
Cheers Ian

A good picture can be worth a thousand words. This picture by Andrew Gorrie and caption (It's a bit wet in Wellington) sums up the last week or so in Wellington nicely.
"This is the start of a new stage of life for many people, and there are lots of changes that go with it.

Greg Coyne Principal Trustee in Nelson had a chat with stuff.co.nz recently as part of our Later Life campaign.

"Age Concern also experienced a burst of new interest and donations after we wrote about Rick Johnston and Denis White, who have been buddied up through Age Concern's visiting service. Johnston takes 82-year-old White out to lunch or to Mitre 10, or works in his backyard.
'But the best outcome has been the 35 volunteers signing up to help deliver social connection services to older people in our communities,” said Stephen Opie, chief executive of Age Concern Wellington. “We’re always needing more volunteers, so this has been a great response for us.'"

People born after 2009 could become New Zealand’s first-ever smokefree generation, in a policy move that is expected to bring $5 billion in health savings.
On Thursday, Associate Health Minister Ayesha Verrall announced a radical and world-leading plan to ban tobacco sales to a generation, as well as lower the nicotine level in all tobacco products and drastically reduce number of places that can sell them, through the new Smokefree 2025 action plan.
