2014 Gratitude Journal - Day 190

Day 190 - After watching Hope and Wire tonight I can say that I am truly grateful that the Christchurch I have experienced before and since the earthquakes bears very little resemblance to what I have seen on this programme! Thanks Gaylene Preston for portraying us as racially motivated thugs who steal, lie and cheat, drink all the time, turn to prostitution to support our drug habit, who have children who are promiscuous and bunk school to sleep around and take drugs and generally have no hope left in life at all. Obviously all the caring and support I saw and all the people who worked hard looking after their neighbours, friends and complete strangers was a figment of my imagination!
