This week I have determined that I should collect all of my awards. When I think I have done that I'll let you know and if I have forgotten any you can let me know.
Bindi graciously bestowed this pretty award on me so I thought I'd make it true by practicing some gratitude.
Today I'm grateful for
- the sound of rain outside
- a job that allows me some flexibility
- a warm bed
- people to laugh with
- enough money for all that we need and much of what we want
- good health
- a beautiful bunch of dahlias on the coffee table
- the Tomboy's relentless joie de vivre
- the Princess's regular gifts to me....little letters & drawings and such like. The Tomboy will be offended if I don't recognise her offerings here, they're also wonderful.
- Dimples' general sweetness and exceptional potential
- No.1 son for our shared humour and his consistent appreciative eating of whatever I put in front of him
- the unwavering love of my "original" family
Turn your face to the sun and the shadows fall behind you.

Lovely post. I often make those gratitude lists--especially when I'm feeling down. In college, I kept a little journal specially for jotting down those lists. I still like to open it and read it sometimes.
ReplyDeleteDear Kylie,
ReplyDeleteTerrific post!
It has really gladdened my heart (^-^)
Thanks for reminding me how great life is and that I have much to be thankful for. I'm your typical glass half-empty bloke!

thanks all,
ReplyDeletethe dresses are at a temporary stand still but the weekend should see some serious action. i promise to post pics IF they turn out ok.
this joint reply isn't working, you know. i was trying to be quick and answer before i fall asleep.
i like to think i have a grateful spirit (that might be a gross over estimation, tho) but it's amazing how hard i find it to be specific. does that make any sense?
bomber, i doubt that you're "glass half empty" but i suspect you're "let me just measure that to check" is that offensive? it's not meant to be.......
i think i'm losing it!
g'night all
Kylie,
ReplyDeleteWhat a great post!
Meister Eckhart said 'If the only prayer you ever say in your whole life is thank you, that will be enough"
I tend to agree with him ;)
What beautiful things to be grateful for.
Thanks so much for visiting my blog, your comments are greatly appreciated.
And i love that wild curly hair! Just beautiful,
Love and peace to you and the family, M
