Seek Learning ~ I Miss You

Good Morning, or Good Afternoon, or Good Evening, 
this post should take approximately three minutes to read from start to finish. 

I know that in the past eighteen months, I have not expressed too much towards my immediate family members, my extended relatives, my former managers and former employees that I used to work with from past employment, and my friends that I have missed them. I know that I definitely do miss my immediate family members, my extended relatives, my former managers from past employment, and my friends so much. 

I have always appreciated all of the memories for spending some time with my immediate family members in the past, and I have always appreciated all of the memories for spending some time with my extended relatives in the past. 

I have always appreciated all of the memories for working along with my former managers and former employees that I used to work with from past employment, and I have always appreciated all of the memories for spending some time with my friends in the past. I have always appreciated appreciated of various times in my life of meeting those people throughout my life. 

"Miss you"
I missed my immediate family members because I missed going out with my family for dinners, spend some time together that was not involved of staying at home all day, and so forth. I missed my extended relatives because I miss seeing them and spending some time with them whenever I can whilst living in Australia. 

I missed my former managers and and employees that I used to work with from past employment because it was always fun to always catch up with them during my shifts while working and sometimes it actually made time to go fast even when I was not thinking too much of what time it was. 

I missed going to Young Single Adults events such as devotionals, dances, activities, and so forth because it was great excuse for me to go to and catch up with some of my friends that I have not seen in awhile while I was in YSA. If you are a relative or a friend of mine, please know that I do miss you. 

Stay Tuned until next time.

Seek Learning for Appreciation goes towards our Parents or our Guardians

Good Morning, Good Afternoon, Good Evening,
this post should take approximately three minutes to read from start to finish.

Have you ever thanked your parents or your guardians {that includes step-parents, and so forth} for their efforts and for everything that they show unto you and have done for you? I know that each of us got so used to relying onto them for everything that was necessary for us as growing up.

Have you ever acknowledged of some or all of the things that our parents or our guardians has done for you?

- I know that all of us were too young for us to remember the first time when they have taught us how to smile, first time when they taught us how to laugh, when they taught us how to walk for the first time, when they taught us how to talk, and so forth. 

- They have always done their best to always be with us whenever we needed them to be, they taught us patience, they taught us loving one another, they taught us how to cook meals, they did their best to help us to get through some or all of the difficulties that we ever faced, they celebrated our achievements, they celebrated each milestone that we took, they helped us to make us feel proud of every accomplishment that we have made, they supervised and taught us how to drive a car when we are willing to learn how to drive, and so forth.

They have done their best to fulfill most important responsibilities for us to make sure that we always have access to fresh clean clothes for us to wear throughout the daytime and evening - so we won't ever have to be wearing dirty clothes, they made sure that there was food access for us to eat throughout the daytime and evening - so we won't ever feel hungry, they made sure that we have somewhere to live, and so forth. 

Stay Tuned until next time.

Seek Learning ~ I Care

  Good Morning or Good Morning or Good Evening, 
this post should take approximately three minutes to read from start to finish. 

What is your definiton and understanding of the word "Care" ? 

I would like to encourage you to think about, and answer the following questions either now or in your own time. 
"What are several ways do you show your immediate relatives (including your spouse if you are married) that you do care about them? "What are several ways do you show to your extended relatives that you do care about them?"

"In what ways do you show to your true friends that you do care about them?"
"In what ways do you show to your employees that you do care about them?"
"In what ways do you show to your managers that you do care about them?"

"When was the last time did you express to someone that you do care about them?" "Was it today?"
"Was it yesterday?" "Was it a month ago?" "Was it a few months ago?" "Was it a year ago?" 

I must admit, I may not always show to others often of how much I care because I know deep inside that I do care and I always do care a lot. I care about Jacob because he has done so much, and I'm truly blessed to have him by my side. I care about the gospel because the gospel has blessed my life in many ways. I care about my immediate relatives because they mean a lot to me.

I care about my extended relatives but I may not show it often. I care about the former employees and managers whom I used to work with because they always know great ways to cheer me up and get me motivated to keep going whenever I was feeling tired or sad during my shifts. I know that they seem to be great people to work with. 

I CARE. I will always care.
I care about my true friends because they always do their best to be there for me whenever I needed someone to talk to someone. I would like you to know that I care and I will always care. I encourage you to tell to your immediate relatives, your extended relatives, your friends, and other people that you do care about them. 

You can tell them that you care about them by emailing them, you can tell them that you care about them by writing them a letter, you can tell them that you care about them by calling them, you can tell them that you care about them by texting them, and so forth.

Happy Australia Day

Good Morning or Good Afternoon or Good Evening, 
this post should take approximately three minutes to read from start to finish.
 
I know that several people has judged me in the past, and present time because they have thought that I have came to United States to get a United States citizenship. Well it is not true, I have came to United States to continue living my life and be married to Jacob. There is a process to become a United States citizen. I want to keep my Australian citizenship for the rest of my life.

There is multiple advantages for keeping my Australian citizenship but I would be just willing to share two advantages. One of the advantages for me keeping my Australian citizenship is I was able to submit paperwork, submit printed copy of my marriage license, printed copy of my birth certificate, etc to apply for a legal name change to Australia. 

In other words after applying for a legal name change, Australian government (Births, Marriages, Deaths place) has to approve the application or reject the application. They have approved it, they have sent me the new legal name change certificate and post it to me via mail. Now, Australian government can recognize me as Megan Lindsey instead of Megan Green. 

Between now to my first visit back to Australia, I can continue using my passport as Megan Green until it expires to change the name to Megan Lindsey or whenever I decide to apply for updated information of my passport to change the name sooner and have it as Megan Lindsey.

The other advantage is when I have been done with having children and prior them turning eighteen years old; I can apply online for getting them Australian citizenships. It would be such a advantage because if my children ever wants to live in Australia at one point, they can without having to face law consequences of overstaying their visits. 
Happy Australia Day!
I have been living in Texas United States for the last eighteen months as a United States resident; and during the whole time while I have been living over here, I am still Australian citizen. I have been proud of being a Australian citizen in the past, I am still proud of being Australian citizen at this present time, and I will still be proud of being Australian citizen in the future. 

I remembered celebrating Australia Days' with my family in the past. Whenever my family celebrated Australia's Day at home, I always remembered having BBQ for lunch, my family and I would always have some leftovers from lunch to eat for dinner on that night. My Dad would always cook food on the BBQ on Australia's Day when we celebrate Australia's Day at home. 

He would always cook lamb, onions, fried eggs, mushrooms with cheese on top, beef patties, and so forth. I have remembered going out to places where the church has organized ward activities to get together with church members and non-members were invited to celebrate Australia's Day together. 

I remembered about five years ago for Australia's Day, I went to a ward activity on Australia's Day. I had so much fun. It was good interactions with other church members. I had BBQ for lunch. I have remembered four years ago for Australia Day, I was out with the Young Single Adults and we celebrated Australia Day. We watched a fireworks display in Brisbane city/Southbank, some of us have chosen to go swimming, and some of us just played games with other YSAs. 

I have been grateful for my parents for raising me up in Australia, and I have been grateful for living in Australia for twenty-three years of my life. I have been grateful for all of the past education that I had whilst living in Australia including graduating high school, and I have been grateful for all of the past employment that I had whilst living in Australia. I definitely do miss living in Australia a lot, and I miss living less than several hours drive from the nearest beach. 

I remembered some time not long prior to when I have left Australia to fly to Dallas one way, I had the opportunity to sing the Australian Anthem for the last time before it has made several changes. I definitely cried because reality hits me to know that I don't know when is the next opportunity is going to be for me singing Australian Anthem again. 

Stay Tuned until next time.
