grateful.

today, i thought i'd play along with the lovely maxabella, and write a little grateful post.

whenever you're feeling a little down and under the weather (which i am, thank you MASSIVE day at work) it always helps me to get a bit of perspective by having a bit of a think about what i am truly grateful for.



so today i am thankful for my job. some days it is hard (like today) but other days it is fabulous. it also puts food on the table and keeps a roof above our head and enables us to save money in a less than favourable economic climate.
it also gives me something productive to do with my days, putting into perspective how important my time off from work is :D

i'm grateful too, for that brilliant flower above, who could be sad when there's a beautiful bloom (actually several!) like that sitting on the windowsill in your kitchen.

today i'm grateful for a few things.
i'm grateful for the life that i live.
i'm grateful that i have a steady job, and that my partner does too.
i'm grateful that i have my degree, even though i'm choosing not to use it right now, and the debt that i owe from my studies to get it are not forcing me from my home or life or lifestyle.
i'm grateful for my family and my partner and i'm grateful for the knowledge that they're always there for me.
i'm grateful for my health. and the health of those that i love. in case you don't already know, cancer fucking sucks, sorry for my french there...
and i'm also grateful to be maid of honour. i'm going to have you soooooo organised brianna!

sorry, sappy grateful post today, mainly inspired by this actually...

this saturday i'm grateful for my big work boots. they kept my feet warm and dry all day at work (and the very wet getting to work part).
i'm also grateful for my lovely little car that works reliably and even in the inclement conditions we've been experiencing recently (horribly hot days at the start of the week, floods this morning). i work about a half hour drive from where i actually live so i'd be pretty much stuffed without it!

today i'm rocking this day 5 look.


only my way, with ridiculous pig tails. 22 isn't too old for pig tails right?

if you're grateful too, play along with maxabella!

hope any victorians are safe and dry after this stupid weather and well actually that everyone is safe and dry actually! being in danger and wet wouldn't be too much fun at all!

this saturday i'm grateful for...




fresh strawberries for breakfast. they're massive AND delicious!



almost fresh strawberries from my garden.



friendly neighbourhood pets. he likes my bag just as much as i do.




and, as much as everyone hates it, i'm grateful for this weather. my plants are LOVING the intermittent rain and shine. some of them have grown double their size and this jasmine here, it's started growing again :D
i rescued it from a construction site, it was being ripped up by a tractor.

maxabella has more things to be grateful for.

grateful for...

the weather.
i know everyone hates this crappy, awful weather but today i'm really grateful for it.



if it was sunny and lovely, i'd be wanting to be out in it. weeding and pruning and planting in the garden or just going for a nice long walk.
but instead, the weather is horrible. so i'll listen to lectures for revision and crochet in front of the heater. much more productive for my exam marks :D

there's much more to be grateful for over in maxabella-land.

something i'm incredibly grateful for this week is...


my lint shaver.
seriously!
it cost me less than $5 from spotlight and has given new life to pretty much all of my clothes! my washing machine like to throw lint all over absolutely everything! not to mention, it's fairly relaxing... yup i'm a little weird...

ok so that was a little bit tongue-in-cheek (but true!), this week i'm grateful for this spring weather we've been having.
all my plants are in bloom and it makes me so happy to leave the house (as opposed to winter when you almost couldn't pay me to leave...)

hope you're all having a wonderful saturday and not having too much fun at finders keepers. i'm hoping i'll get there for some retail therapy after work tomorrow...
