Happy Christmas

I hope that you all had a very happy Christmas! 

Some of the things I was thankful for over this holiday season was…

 A reason to build a gingerbread village, which became gifts for some special relatives. 

 The feeling of joy that came from celebrating, giving and spending time with loved ones.

Buying my very own Christmas tree and getting creative with gift wrapping.

 Being able to make rocky road and overdose on chocolate.

 For dogs that guard the pile of wrapping paper.

For festive table settings and delicious three course meals.

And most importantly for a Saviour that was born to give us eternal life. 

Happy as Larry. 

Lunch Shared with Family

Today has been beyond wonderful. My family came over for lunch. I didn't have to worry about a single thing, they brang a bbq and the food - all I had to do was open the door. I feel so blessed. The five hours spent with my loved ones was relaxing, humorous and enjoyable.

Thank you Dad for cooking the food, fixing the sink, finding the hole in cheesecake bottom, informing me there are a lot of houses around and for being so relaxed. 

Thank you Mum for making the salad, doing the dishes, noticing my weeded garden and realising my clothes line was on the right side of the garage. 

Thank you Nathan and Emily for making the effort on four hours sleep, telling me I could sell my artwork and understanding I only had man-size plates left to use.

You're all super-dooper fabulous! 

Counting My Blessings

I'm thankful for supportive family and friends who make me feel loved every single day.

I'm thankful for early mornings to acknowledge the ANZAC's on the twenty-fifth of April. The public holiday is a spanking-good bonus. 

I'm thankful for a man who I can call my future-husband. He is one of a kind - the one that makes me laugh and cry all at the same time. 

I'm thankful for the best hairdresser ever - my mum. I haven't had my hair this short since I was five years of age. Welcome back softness and bounce, good bye dead ends. Change is good.

I'm thankful for oversized clothes and big scarfes that make you feel comfy, even on fat days!

I'm thankful for colourful pens that brighten the darkest study days.

I'm thankful for pay days. They make my bank balance look so much more healthier than the day before.

God is greater than mudcake and ice-cream. He is my cherry on top!!

What are some of your blessings?

Productivity

I was thankful to have a day off of work today. Not only did I get a sleep in, I got things done! The morning consisted of smiles and happy tears as I read Mr J and my engagement cards. Extremely blessed! I ate my eggs in front of season one, episode one of this {a new gift my Mr J}. And finished the day with a good amount of study conquered, two cups of tea and the love for this cooler weather. Back to work tomorrow.
