I’m grateful for the end of my book drought with the arrival at the library of a long ago ordered book! I’ve said before on my blog that I love reading! I normally ALWAYS have a book on the go and usually a pile waiting. Sadly though, I […]
I’m grateful for community art groups who collaborate, have visions, and create thought-provoking artworks to suit the environment on which they stand. The photograph above is part of ‘The Mudflat Sculpture’ constructed in the early 1990’s at Lota Camping Reserve, Lota. Lota is a nearby suburb to me. […]
I’m grateful that my children (twin boys 20 and daughter nearly 18) are kind-hearted, good and sensible young adults. I don’t publish current day photographs of my kids on my blog, so chose a photo from some years back to use today. Why oh why did I not […]
I’m grateful for my footstool/ottoman (I call it my ‘poof’ but I was trying to be politically correct) that I brought back with me from a trip over to Singapore. I bought it from Arab Street. I not only love how it looks, but my feet appreciate it […]

I’m grateful for a really enjoyable walk along the waterfront with my hubby late this afternoon. What a beautiful day! The weather forecast was for rain today but the rain never came. Hooray! As you can see, the tide was out but it is still so beautiful along […]
My grateful photo’s often are of things in nature. As I’ve got older, I notice nature more. Nature is beautiful, soothing and actually quite therapeutic! It makes me happy. I see amazing things that when I was younger would never have been noticed. Some are typically beautiful (like […]
I’m grateful Ava’s operation went well and so happy to have her back home again! Today, Ava (6 months) went to the vet for an operation. She was desexed and had a small umbilical hernia fixed up. She was dropped at the vets at 7am and we finally […]
