Gratitude #59

I just love this photo. My Dad in his element. A country man in a country setting.

My Dad works tirelessly everyday of his life to give Mum, myself and my siblings the best he can.

He is a man of conviction. A loyal man. A good man.

And I love him very much.

 

My fabulous father. Forever family.

Gratitude #58

I have been remiss - it has been some time. I'm actually a year older since I last blogged. Once again I hop back on the wagon, reins in hand.

I have been singing for some time and more often than not I take for granted the gift I have been blessed with. This morning I sang at a funeral for a work friend. It was moving to sing with others in harmony and to be able to give something to the celebration of Marie's life. I am grateful to be able to share this talent and honored that I am asked to do so.

 

The gift of song. Gratefully shared.

Let me introduce our newest family member - Caruso. Our little opera singer. Who needs a rooster when you can be woken to the trills of a canary. He is a delight.


Caruso Canary. Our cheerful chirper.

In our renovation plans I was very keen to have a big opening onto the deck from our bedroom. Hubby wasn't overly keen as he loves the bedroom to be as dark as possible. However we have been grateful every morning to pull aside the blinds and let the day in. I love it. We are very fortunate.

 

 

Pull back the blinds. Let the outside in.

A big thank you to a friend of mine who has started her own aromatherapy business and is producing some beautiful products. I have been using the Harmony and Prayer body sprays and they add a little smile to my day. ( A plug for her business - www.skinpassionaromatherapy.com )

 

 

Scented sprays. Smells sublime.

I've just come home from my third time going to BUMS and I'm officially a member. The ukulele is fun and easy and even with a hundred playing together in a room you will not be deafened. I'm grateful that groups like BUMS exist so that you can enjoy a good old sing-a-long!

Singing and strumming. Toe-tapping therapy.

I think an enormous number of people were grateful for this morning. M opened the blinds to this - glorious sunshine.

 

Streaming sunlight. Soaring spirits.
