thankful thursday

i am part of an extended family and this week i am thankful to have spent time with them ahead of the allotted christmas dates planned and still in the pipeline. i am thankful for cold morning starts and crisp clear blue sky sunshine filled days, savouring every bit of daylight.  i am thankful too to have been in the passenger seat while travelling over the snake pass back to manchester to capture these night time shots, a day of capturing everyday moments was just what i needed.

thankful thursday

this week i am thankful for patience, it's a discipline i have grown in over the years, my impatient, angry teenage self is still amazed by that. i am thankful for hope, i'm a glass half full kind of a gal and even in the midst of seeming disaster i can still see the silver lining or the vivid colour spectrum rainbow. i am thankful for love, love of myself and of others, the kind that stands back and encourages us to become our own greatest cheerleaders.
