- Long conversations.
- Pretend camping with Nola under covers.
- Hiking up the hill and through the wood with Tani, Sylvie dog and a thermos of Red-bush tea.
- Knitting simple, therapeutic garter stitch squares.
- Boo's hand-sewn dragon-wings.
- A little owl roosting on our garden wall.
- Girls' making teeny tiny sandwiches with crusts cut off for the garden fairies.
- Getting to spend time with my eldest girl now college is out for Summer.
- Quiet, rainy Sunday morning for writing, reading, cups of tea while children sleep.
- A new outdoor table and chair set. Looking forward to warm, lantern lit Summer evenings eating al fresco.
- Feeling so much better after months of one illness after another.
- Cornfields dotted with Poppies.

We all have so much to be for which to be grateful!! Have a wonderful day!
ReplyDeleteYesterday my daughter was in a bit of a state of collapse in town, so we took a taxi home instead of the bus. The taxi driver was very kind, and said, "Have you had enough darling?" to her. I asked him how his day was going and he said, "FanTAStic. Every day that I wake up and my elbows aren't touching wood is a great day!" It made me wonder whether he had had some experience that made him particularly savour being alive, and it was a great reminder that we should all take that approach.
ReplyDeleteI really liked your post on affirmations; re. the one on your ambivalent feelings about your girls being in school, I think that they will still receive far more input from you in their lives than most of their contemporaries. Don't worry!
Isn't it lovely when a stranger shows such kindness :) He sounds like quite an inspiration! I hope your lovely daughter is feeling better today. Thank you so much for your kind comments about the girls and school :)
