#365 (31/12)

The last day of the year and the last day of my 365 Grateful.  Am I glad it's over - I think I am.  I'm disappointed I didn't put more emotion into my posts - but I'm still glad I have this record.

Bye bye 2017 - you were a good year with us moving into our new home and settling in.  A great year for Ebony in her new school.

So, so much to be grateful for.

Another farewell - more sadness.  Bye Bye Di, Jess, Renee and Chris.  I'll miss you all but I'm glad you're in our lives.

Today my big brother and my Dad and Mum left to go home.  I'm sad - very sad.

Being sad on a day like this makes me grateful for how much I love my family and for how much joy and fun we have shared together over the last week.

What fun we are having - I'm absolutely stoked that I have most of my family here and we can have leisurely chats and are just chilling and relaxing together

Today my beautiful sister and her daughter Jess and other daughter Renee and her partner Chris arrived!  

I love all these people (just getting to know Chris but he's amazing) and it makes my heart so happy to have them around me.

Today has been a beautiful day and yet a sad day.  Today, of all days, Graham and I had a bit of a 'tete a tete' as the saying goes.  I've found it a bit hard to find what I'm grateful for....other than the fact that I have my family around me and we've enjoyed a lovely day together.  I do wonder at times about the pressures of having family around and how hard it can be for Graham since he never gets to see any of his family around Christmas.  

So much is put into Christmas when all we really need to remember is that Christ entered the world and gave us the opportunity of accepting him and receiving the gift of eternal life.
