Do we stop and express our gratitude for the little things we enjoy, often enough?
Do we even acknowledge or recognise the little things?
I am grateful, on a daily basis, for: -
- Greg - my strength and my all
- Bryce - my everything
- My healthy mind - a little forgetful but nonetheless healthy
- My healthy body - again, a little curvy, but all parts in good working order
- My mom
- My brother, Dylan and his gorgeous boys and loyal wife
- My sister, Queri and her beautiful daughter
- My dad
- My extended family (my wonderful in-laws and sisters-in-law and their families)
- My home, which comes with all it's creature comforts
- My warm bed and blankets
- Food
- Fresh air
- Safety and security within my home and whilst out and about and on the road
- Clean and accessible water
- Hot water
- Friends
- Kate - a true angel on earth
- Love
- etc, etc
Why not post me a quick list of 5 things you are grateful for - just acknowledging the little things make the journey of life all the more worthwhile.
I am also grateful that my cold is letting up and I feel human again - not like some "glazed donut monster" who can't breathe through her nose so makes these scary breathing noises with her throat - not pretty, I promise you!
Check out Sophia's updated blog - so beautiful. She is one talented lady. I got a sneak peak at her LO for the MMM Comp - stunning - a winner!!
Hopefully I will be able to post some of my LO's late next week so check back in then.
I am going to bed to read - got some divine thrillers from the Bookshop today. Try a novel by James Grippando or Val McDermid - nailbiters!! By the way, I want to start a Book Club - any suggestions for fun things to do - don't just wanna sit around discussing so-and-so's writing technique ....
Start of winter school holidays tomorrow - hope I can keep Bryce entertained. Trying to get to Sani Pass - hopefully the weather will co-operate and we will see snow during the hols. Gonna try my hand at 4 x 4'ing in the snow. My Fortuner manual says that it can drive in the snow - we'll see .....
P.S. So excited - picking Greg up from the Airport tomorrow - he has been in Zambia all week - again!!!@@##!

So glad the newy on the block is back with a vengence and have recovered from a cold spell. Yes, I was one of those unfortunate SAA passengers caught in the Durban Airport chaos on 18 June. Sat at the Dbn Airport for 11 hours with most of the passengers being kept in total darkness re flight schedules etc. SAA's passengers are just numbers and not people.
I was wondering when we are going to see some of your art work ... cant wait.
Thanks my (Doing Life's) Scrapaganza was a huge success, loads of fun and delicious food. And as usual Makaranga Garden Lodge is just the most beautiful and unique venue in South Africa with wonderful staff.
Enjoy the school holidays with your son. Get him to take photos of wherever he is going or whatever he is doing during the holidays and get him to create a scrapbook page or two ...
Keep well. Desire
