Because I am writing this on Wednesday night, I am anticipating Kate's Thankful Thursday post (not that she ever lets us down !!!!).
This week I am thankful for :
- a cold which I woke up with this morning because it gives me a chance to get rid of it before we go on holiday in two weeks time.
- the granadilla's my folks gave me to add to the plain yoghurt I bought (despite the fact that they gave me about 25 and I only have 500ml of yoghurt !!!!)
- the wonderful birthday I had on Saturday and the lovely presents I received
- an impromptu dinner out last night with A where we got to talk about his job offers
- the fact that there are 6 companies trying to get him to join them when the company he currently works for closes it's doors
- a car which has nearly 200,000kms on the clock but is still reliable and great to drive
- blogging, twitter and facebook friends who are so supportive and caring
- only 10 days of work until we leave for NZ (or 11 if you count the Saturday that I think I will have to work to get everything done before I go !!!)
- the opportunity to meet other bloggers next Saturday
- the courage (that I hope I will have on the day) to go out and meet above bloggers
- this opportunity to reflect on what I am thankful for rather than concentrating on what is annoying / irritating / p*ssing me off !
What are you thankful for this week ?
TFTD : Be honest. Kiss those you love. Say "Thank you", "I love you" and "You did a great job" to someone each day. Love your life and what you have been given, it is not accidental - search for your purpose and do it the best that you can. Dreaming does matter - it allows you to become that which you aspire to be. Forgive - it frees the soul. Recognise the special people you have been blessed to know.
That trip has come around quick, my car is also nearly done 200,000 but still love it :)
ReplyDeleteYes Jackie - it just seems like a couple of weeks ago that we started to talk about it and now it is nearly here - can't wait (well I can but I can't if you know what I mean !!!)
DeleteHave a great day !

I am so sorry to hear you are sick but super glad as you say you have the chance to shake this off before you go away.

First of all, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! It sounds like you had a great day!
ReplyDeleteI am thankful for the time I got to spend last weekend with an old friend. We never get to see each other but I was able to make an impromptu trip to the northern part of the state to meet up with her. We had a great time!
Thanks Di - I LOVE catch ups like that - especially when they are out of the blue. Glad you had such a good time.

Hi Cami - TFTD = Thought For The Day. I think sometimes we get bogged down with all the big stuff that is happening (or not happening) - it is good to be able to think of the small things that I am thankful for !
DeleteHave a great day !
Me
Let's hear it for faithful cars that just keep on going! :-) I hope you shake that cold swiftly... the countdown to NZ is on!
ReplyDeleteOh yes Lisa !!!!
DeleteHave a great day - hope you managed to get rid of the 4711 smell !!!
Me
Glad to hear you had a lovely birthday!
ReplyDeleteYou have a fantastic list of things to be thankful for.
I assume TFTD is 'Thought For The Day'? Even if it doesn't mean that, I love it!
Thanks - you are right - it is Thought For The Day - glad you liked it !
DeleteHave a great day !
Me
What a lovely list. It's so nice to stop every now and then and just reflect on the blessings we have in our day to day lives. Happy birthday xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Catherine - it is good to remember the little things in the hurry and scurry of everyday life when the big things can become a little overwhelming.
DeleteHave the best day !
Me

Happy birthday! And I hope you'll be blogging about your trip to NZ, how exciting! By the way, what's a granadilla?
ReplyDeleteThanks Kelly - I will definitely be blogging about NZ probably when we get back depending on how much it costs for Internet connection over there.
DeleteSorry - sometimes I forget - granadillas are passion fruits !!!
Have a great weekend.
