My munchkins decided I needed a less boring look for my blog, the Princess was artistic director for the new look, I dont know how long it will last but for now I'm enjoying the colour...............

Leah's "Thankyou" theme for the month inspired me to see if I could think of something specific and original to be grateful for every day. Given that it's the third of November here I'm a bit behind.

1. I'm impressed by Just Bob's enormous commitment to the election process and to the democrats, so first up I have to say that I'm grateful for Bob and people like him who are prepared to volunteer time and effort for the sake of democracy.

2. That would lead me to the fact that I'm grateful to live in a democratic country and to have opportunity to get involved in the process of government, even if my only involvement is to cast my tiny vote.

3. Less significantly, I was grateful for a day off today, time to catch my breath, tidy up a little and generally feel a bit more in control.

My best to you all
