thankful thursday

this week i am thankful for rest, rest i didn't know was needed until my body laid me low. i am thankful for a good film and a warm blanket (even as the sun shone). i am thankful for laughter, the ability to choose to see the joyful in the mundane and the exuberance of youth, reminding me to live each moment to the fullest.

best part of the week

an unexpected oasis in the routine of the week. an hour to myself, sat in the cooling early evening breeze on a humid day, lost in a magazine ahead of meeting a friend for dinner. i had no idea how overdue that time was until i was gifted it.

Friday off work -a trip to the V&A.  Simply stunning, Mum and daughter time, with nothing else to do but enjoy the beauty around us.

thankful thursday

this week i am thankful for good weather, when sunshine is not always guaranteed you never take it for granted (a life lesson perhaps?)  i am thankful for being able to eat not just dinner but breakfast on my deck. above all i am thankful to have small children in my life that remind me constantly to play. sometimes the simple things give the most pleasure.

best part of the week

sunshine, relaxation, good food and good company. hanging out with these guys this weekend has been fun.

Time away with family, they had driven six hours to see us, the sun shone and it was truly lovely to share and spend time together.

busy doing nothing

yesterday - hottest day of the year so far. a day off. a park visited. lots of walking.
today - despite sunscreen, i'm a little pink.

thankful thursday

this week i am thankful for sunshine, a heatwave forecast and a three day working week. i am thankful for friends who i sing with weekly and community spirit coming together for a successful fund raiser for a local charity. i am thankful the untightened wheel nuts on three wheels of my brothers car did not result in the death of half my family (as the aa man explained) but merely showed my sister in law that even in london many people stop to offer assistance when your wheel leaves your car halfway round a roundabout.
