Things For Which I Am Grateful

It's been a whirlwind couple of weeks. Returning from a Bali holiday with weird lumpy arm-pit virus. Cramming madly trying to prepare for a market that I've had a whole year in which to prepare. Starting the medication process for becoming an egg donor for a gorgeous couple of friends.

Lots of opportunities to choose either the glass half full or the glass half empty view on life. So do I collapse in a giggling heap or a hysterical frenzied one? I've just read a fantastic post which sums up life as a work at home mum hilariously! Check it out!

To get back to that glass half full kind of perspective I thought I would do as Belly Beyond, the author of that great post, has done.... A Things I Am Grateful For post.

  • 34 degrees today before another two days of 41 degree forecasts
  • How Bamboo/Soya doesn't fray during my beginners crochet attempts like Bamboo/Cotton does
  • Our gorgeous emerald green front lawn thanks to subsurface irrigation
  • The jacaranda trees in full bloom either side of our yard
  • That my daughter will munch on celery as if it is the yummiest thing in the universe!
Anything you are grateful for today?

Okay, here goes:

I am grateful for:

Regaining health after a bad bout of pneumonia

My lovely husband and daughter and everyone who makes me smile, laugh and feel good

Finally having a day off during the week - it's today and I'm loving it

Today's sunshine and the gorgeous flowers in my garden
