Things I am grateful for
When I heard about Oprahs gratitude journal, years ago, I started one immediately. I thought it was such a great idea! To remind yourself everyday what you are grateful for.
Over the years I have stopped them and started them again - usually they are started when I am going through a rough patched and fade away when things are good!
Today things are good! But I still have so much to be grateful for that I wanted to share a few of the blessings I have in my life!
So today I am grateful for all the following things. (My kids and family go without saying)
1. The rain we have had for 2 days. Its been heaven!! And its been accompanied by the most amazing thunderstorms. I am totally and utterly petrified of storms but I can still appreciate their beauty.
2. My job - purely cos I have one not cos its the greatest thing!
3. My friends - I have some of the craziest friends ever. They make me laugh so hard my tummy hurts. I love them all!
4. Cashew nut brittle from Woolies - ultimate indulgence
5. All the men who have come and gone over the last few years. They have all taught me (and keep teaching me) such invaluable lessons about myself and about sex and about relationships.
6. Spaghetti and mince - I outdid myself last night and made the most amazing dinner. The kids each had 4 bowls - I KID YOU NOT!
7. My blogging friends! The advise and support you guys offer is so amazing. (DadsHouse next week I am going to focus on “how am I going to START being … " so thanks for that I love IT)
8. That petrol came down. Even though I dont drive far often, my trips to JHB were breaking the bank!
9. Wine! Yes I have to mention it! Its what keeps me sane. The wine and my crazy chats with my friends once it has been consumed!
10. And lastly I am super excited - more than grateful - that it is nearly Christmas. Its my favourite time of year.

I'm thankful that I have a job in these uncertain times. I thank God for my church family and my friends. I thank God for HIS faithfulness to me and being with me when it seemed like noone cared. I thank God for HIS written word which is the Bible. I thank God for being a compassionate and longsuffering God towards me and my family.

p.s. Do you have the Simple Abundance Daybook by Sarah Ban Breathnach-- the woman who turned Oprah on to making Gratitude lists?
I read it every morning! Highly recommended.
