Thankful for:
Being able to hug a very special friend and to let her know she is loved.
Pip sleeping through on Sunday night and not being sick, prayers answered!
Monday work out on the bike + shower = GREAT!
Pip upstairs with the Brio and Benedict downstairs with the Lego = HAPPY
No celery? No problem! Sweet potato and celeriac soup instead!
Christmas poinsettia still brightening my day.
Meditation time ~ fell asleep sitting up!
Morning offering prayer at the kitchen sink.
Being able to laugh at myself when I had a meltdown, whilst rug bashing ~ now I really know how it feels to be three!!
A middle of the night conversation with Pip when she was unexpectedly sick in her sleep ~ such a sweet conversation once she was cleaned up and so many hugs.
Coffee date with Dave at MiaItalia.
Benedict's blood reading at the diabetic clinic, an Hba1c of 7.9 mmol/l A RECORD! For the past six years since diagnosis, regardless of all our hard work it has always hovered around 9mmol/l which is not great for his long term health, so this was an unexpected surprise.
Benedict taking care of me when I was suddenly quite unwell on Friday evening.
Pip working hard and enjoying her art lessons.
A telephone chat with my daughter Kath and my baby grand-daughter trying to wave at me down the phone! So sweet!
All things permaculture, I'm on a learning journey of my own.
The happiest people don't have the best of everything, they just make the best of everything.
Four happy shots from this past week:
It's amazing what you can find on your phone camera!
Amaretto Latte just the ticket.
Just enough heat, chilli chocolate chip cookies, awesome.
Saturday Skyline, the sun put in a welcome brief appearance, after which it was back to rain, wind, rain, wind!
Be Blessed x

Blessings to you too, San - what a joyful post xxx
Such a wonderful thing to be grateful in the midst of sickness and meltdowns - We are entitled to those too. : ) I love the photo of your daughter and grand-daugther...such happiness. I hope you have a wonderful week.
Thanks for the good wishes, the crazy picture is big sister Sara with littlest sister Pip who became an Aunt at the age of four!
There is a definite skip in your step this year San, I really hope this year is a better one for you and your family :)
The diabetic news is fantastic, I hope it stays at that level and reduces your anxiety.
Yes, looking back I definitely wasn't right last year.
So funny early morning wake up with B being sick with high blood sugars( that isn't funny I know) but in the past it would have really ruined my day, instead today I sorted him out and now he is quietly working with Dad. I am having a much needed rest upstairs!
chili chocolate chip cookie!? deeeelish! mmmm
Hello San, That's good news about Benedict, and about your spirits staying up :) I like Pip and Sara's pic . . and your skyline pic. I'll say prayers for you to stay healthy, and for some much needed sun to pop out again. Glad you and Dave got out for a delicious coffee! Hugs and love :)
