I'm grateful for summer afternoons where we can head to the beach after school and swim (even though we forgot bathers).
Grateful for the lovely school we're involved with, how welcoming they have been and how well my children are settling in (even my little klingon Jack who is so proud of himself in his school clothes and of the "work" he's doing at school).
Grateful for Lindt dark chocolate (with sea salt) that is my evening treat.
And super grateful that I won a little giveaway over on FB and this amazingly beautiful piece of stitching made its way safely from Belgium to Hobart this week. Please check out Rhi's adorable work and think about treating yourself and your family.

Writing about being grateful never fails to leave me feeling more grateful.
Thanks Bron. There are more gratefuls here too.

Laughing about the bathers and loving your stitched portrait - that is something to treasure!

ReplyDeletesuch a sweet idea, is looks great. It reminds me of someone who makes toys out of the things children draw, Child's Own (http://www.childsown.com/) - her work is lovely, too.

ReplyDeleteGratefulness also uplifts the people you share it with.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your gift to me.
Gorgeous stitching! What a fantastic idea, and so beautifully done.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your sweet comment on my gratefuls. I adored Barbara Kingsolver's The Lacuna. Always happy to meet a sister Frida freak! :)
I feel your pain too... the delicious ache of separating from our children is never easy to bear. But what choice do we have?
It's a crazy ride, this thing called life. Meeting kindred spirits along the way really does make the journey more bearable.

Alice said it perfectly, "Gratefulness also uplifts the people you share it with."
