Things I Know I Am Thankful For

I know that I have already stopped for one lot of thanks over at APL this week but you know what? I also know you can never be too thankful.

So here I am with a two for one whammy and sharing some of the things I know I am thankful for this week.

I know I am thankful to live under such a beautiful sky

This week I am thankful for

• A child who went to sleep last night without a major drama and at a fairly reasonable hour. This same child has been refusing to sleep for what feels like forever so last night was more than a welcome change.
• A child who slipped straight into her new class without fuss or fan fare. As much as I felt a little lost and redundant my heart was swelling with pride at her comfort and adaptability fit into her new class.
• A child that has been happy to entertain herself while her sisters are at school.
• A child who knows when I need a cuddle most and gives me one.
• A child that tells me she thinks I am the best mum ever. Even if I do yell sometimes.
• The forgiveness from children whom were subjected to my yelling (even if they did deserve a slight growl for wasting precious paint supplies on more than one occasion recently).
• Knowing when to walk away and knowing when to run.
• Actually being able to run. Albeit slow and not as long as I would like but these are but minor details. The other day I did two laps of the block in nearly the same time as it once took me to one so I am by no means really complaining about my speed, I just know I can go further.
• A blog that gives me the chance to try things I wouldn't otherwise.
• Wonderful bloggers and readers that offer me kind words and support.
• Days of endless rain. The perfect excuse to stay at home snuggled in bed, all day long. Though at no point have I actually spent the day snuggled in bed I just love that the excuse is there if I wanted it.
• A dryer so that despite days of endless rains we are still able to have clean dry clothes.
• A covered veranda so that the dogs have somewhere dry to lay that is not inside my house.
• Wonderful friends, both old and new.

Have you got some thanks that you want to share?
