Thoughts from Morningside

We were sitting in our house meeting discussing how we could describe our household. It didn’t take us long before we decided on “Party-House Morningside”:

If you meet Danny, Jenny, Peter, Sheena and the live-in assistants at Morningside, you’ll probably find out that parties are always very welcoming. Whether it is a Stair Lift Party, a Graduation Party, a Welcome or Good Bye Party or an Australia Day Party, one of the best things to experience when we have a party is what it looks like to live in a community. Everyone is helping to prepare, to care in between or to clean up afterwards, all the while having fun together.

Jason and Tony sharing a moment

 
A word From Jason

G'day, my name is Jason
I live at the L'Arche house at Alex Hills.  I really enjoy living here with friends and people my own age.  I enjoy spending time with people and I love to have fun.  Living in L’Arche allows me to make a lot of choices and gives me options of many different things to do.  I enjoy being independent but also like to spend time with my family.  I enjoy having days which are flexible and I can choose what to do, depending on how I feel on that day.  Recently I have had a few changes in my life.  I am spending some time with a new physio who makes me laugh. 

I am also attending a music and dance program at Horizons.  I really enjoy the music program particularly doing drumming with Kentaro.  I have started doing some painting which is fun, particularly when paint gets on the person helping me - there is often lots of laughter involved.  I have started going to a new church at night time which I really enjoy. There are a lot of young people there and big screens so that I can see everything that happens. 

Anthony lives here with me and we have lots of fun together watching movies and hearing about each other's day.  I like spending time with the Morningside household and catching up on what everyone has been doing. Well a lot has been happening in my life and I am looking forward to doing some new things in the next couple of months and meeting some new people.
