Day 56

anzac day - lest we forget.
each of the past three years since i moved to chc i have intended to attend the dawn service in the square. each year i have not made it(hence intended). pure laziness is the only reason.

i went to my first (oh and only) dawn service in 2005 at the auckland domain. it's an amazing place to be especially at the sun begins to rise and the harbour is lit by that early light. i had never really been interested in anything to do with war and anzac day has never really held any importance in my life. i guess not having any relations that fought in any of the wars was probably the reason for this. but after attending that anzac service, back in 2005 it, brought it into perspective how big a part war has played in so many peoples lives and how much the outcomes of ww1 & 2 have influenced our lives today. many of you probably haven't taken it for granted, but i sure have, hence the intention to attend an anzac service....sheesh i am bad, especially as all i did this morning was watch the latest episode of grey's!
maybe i do forget
