I'm grateful for what makes me smile today...


I started my blog through my love of sharing. I cannot see something or hear something beautiful and not want to share it. I just can’t. So how rapt was I to see Maxabella loves' ‘I’m grateful for’ post today! Not only was I inspired to relish in all that I am grateful for, I was excited that I am invited to share it.
My gratitude stretches over the smallest of spaces: my son’s laugh, my husband’s thoughtfulness, my Mum’s unconditional love - note the connection: family. Even if we could choose our family, I would choose mine.
So on this grateful Saturday I am thankful for my sleep-in (after 5 days of rising early for work). My heart melted when my son offered to come and keep me company when I went to run my Saturday morning errands (imagine how tediously boring this must be for an active 10 year old with better things to do!). I smile when I hear my son and husband laughing hysterically over Funniest Home Videos and I quietly thank my lucky stars they chose me. I am grateful for a full fridge and pantry and for my humble home. And at this very moment I realise, I do not wish for anything more than what I have right now. Where I am right now is where I want to be.
And I am happy.

  1. It's nice when one finds a place of happiness! A place where there is peace, laughter, silence and love. A place where one feels wanted and needed. A place where one wants to come to for serenity after hectic day in the wildrness. A place where where one wants to be. I'm happy that you have found that place! Love you xx

  2. It is nice, there is not much else I could really ask for. Happiness, love and peace. Of course there are still challenges and struggles but now that I have learnt to not let those things weigh me down I can definitely smell the roses.

    Thanks Mum, you are an integral part of my growth. Love you too. xo
