I'm grateful for : Aloe vera in my tissues That I didn't wet my pants when I just sneezed Cam rubbing Vicks on my hard to reach spots Chicken Soup Ugg Boots
Today I am grateful for: * no nausea today * my baby holding my hand and trotting along happily beside me as we walk. *meeting all my writing deadlines for the week. *re-connecting with a dear, dear old friend
I was only thinking about being grateful today while sitting bumper to bumper. I like the idea being American Thanksgiving, but I think it should be celebrated more than once a year.
Today I am thankful that - the anaphylaxis Cohen suffered last night was not as bad as it could have been - there are wonderful pedeatric doctors at the hospital - I had an amazing day out with my baby and twin sister - my love cooking me dinner - that I don't have to sit in peak hour traffic everyday, only once in a blue moon on the way home from the City.
I hope all is well in your world. Thanks for reminding everyone to be grateful. :)
* while my little man is sick again it could always be worse and it isn't. * my fabulous husband going out to buy me short & long soup (i like to combine them) for dinner. * our central heating 'cause it's really, really cold here in adelaide. * my best friend who i've just got off the phone from. * my recently discovered love of blogging and knitting which has opened my life up to a whole new community.
* cheap international telephone calls. * my old man dog's quality of life. * actually having sun and heat this Summer. * random cold calls that are actually GOOD! * school is walking distance.
I get a lot of my clients to keep a daily diary like this. sometimes they start with one a day and sometimes it is 1. i woke up today. Mine is: 1. i have the best husband in the world who cooks me beautiful dinners EVERY night 2. I have a healthy bright little ray of sunshine that is Busy. 3. i live in paradise 4. i love my job 5. we are happy, tolerant and forgiving of each others quirks
= a comfy bed with warm blankets = two teens who are loving and open = sunshine = my Pete who will come home and clean up the mess I have left in the kitchen = music, music, music
Take a moment to breathe and you'll find the joy too.
