Lucky

I am blessed!

I am lucky that I have children.  I am lucky to have received flowers from them nearly every day for the last decade. 

I am lucky to have watched them grow and become more independent and creative.

I am lucky to have pets, chooks and plenty of visiting wildlife in the form of echidnas, kangaroos, wallabies and sometimes even turtles that smile at me!

I am lucky to have Hubby to do the practical work.  I watched him dig a post hole for espaliering today and thought, "Hmmm.  I could use the dirt from that hole in the top garden...  Then I watched him refill the hole and realised the dirt was still needed.  I'm not the smartest tool in the shed!  Though it's weird.  I can make a pencil case from scratch without a pattern!  Must require different brain waves.

I am lucky I have learnt skills like making calendula soap.  And bread, meals, yummy baked goods... Then there's sewing, knitting, homemade cleaners...

I am lucky I can garden and use our own produce. 

I'm lucky to have enough food to eat, clean water, a comfortable home, a bed to sleep in.

There is so much more I am grateful for that I could go on all day!

 

Do you often find yourself overcome with gratefulness?
