#90 (31/3)

Today was a big day - I had the first of 7 weddings in the next 30 days.

I'm grateful for the work, but I'm even more grateful for the fact that today is the beginning of school holidays!  Hip Hip Hooray!

#89 (30/3)

Today I have chased my tail all day.  I've just had one of 'those' days.  4 weddings ahead in the next 9 days isn't helping!

Having said that, I'm so grateful for how my little Field of Dreams business is growing and growing.  From struggling beginnings only 4 years ago - I'm not doing 8 weddings in a month!  That is something to be very grateful for.

#88 (29/3)

I know I won't say this on Friday because I'll be busy photographing a wedding - but I am so.very.grateful that the holidays start on Friday.  I love school holidays and the time I have with my little girl.  They can't come quickly enough.  A few lovely things planned in amongst weddings and editing.  No early starts and no lunches and, best of all, my little buddy by my side!

#87 (28/3)

My big brother - my wonderful, gracious, caring big brother....left yesterday.  For me, that's a reason to be sad not grateful.

What my brother brings into my life is what I'm grateful for and it's also the reason I'm sad he's gone.  He challenges me with gentle words that he doesn't even know are challenging.  He encourages me in ways no one else does.

I feel very blessed to have him in my life.

#86 (27/3)

Gosh am I ever grateful for an electric drill....and the fact that Gra left it home for me!

Putting flat packs together is horrible work - but so much better with a drill!

#85 (26/3)

I woke up feeling horrible still - but I decided to soldier on and go to Church.

I'm so glad I did.  Great message, great catch up with some people I haven't caught up to for ages.

More Bunnings and more work in the garage.  It's been a good day.

#84 (25/3)

Our annual Ambulance ACO Conference was today.

I decided to have the Flu shot as I've done for the past 3 years.

Today I'm grateful I haven't had the same reaction for the past 3 years!  I've had full blown flu symptoms and it's been horrible.

#83 (24/3)

We have had such a lovely day together.  Bunnings, frame shop for a print I bought in Bali, lunch together (rare) and then Bunnings again and back home to pick up my girl.

I have really enjoyed our day and loved spending it with the man of my heart.

#82 (23/3)

Even though my guy is soooo exhausted still, we achieved so much today.  The house is fine inside, but the garage has need quite a bit of work in the way of shelving etc.

He's devised a plan and we're off to Wangaratta tomorrow to get things started! I'm grateful for him!

#81 (22/3)

Today I'm just grateful that my hubby is home safe and sound.  Exhausted but safe.

#80 (21/3)

Today my guy has headed home.  The 5 days just didn't work out for him.  He's way, way too exhausted after moving home and having some work related stress.

I'm grateful he's accepted it so well and is happy to be heading home.  He could have been really disappointed in himself, but he's chosen not to be.

#79 (20/3)

Today my beautiful niece Renee turns 20.  Wow 20!!! where did those years go.  I miss the little girl that I saw come into this world and who I held in my arms and had the pleasure of enjoying her company over many Christmases.

But I'm forever grateful that she is in my life and that I've had those times and that she is growing into such a beautiful, well adjusted young lady.

#78 (19/3)

Well, today I woke up pretty exhausted, but I'm on words at Church, so off Eb and I went.

Graham has headed off to Snake Island of Port Welshpool in Gippsland.  He's going on a long awaited hunting trip and I'm grateful he has this opportunity.  I don't think I've heard him this excited in a looooonnnnngggg time!

#77 (18/3)

Today I've had the opportunity to help my dear friend Ros out doing a wedding with her.  I'm just grateful for our friendship and grateful that I was able to help....even if I am exhausted!

#76 (17/3)

Today I sat for a few minutes looking out my window at the amazing sunset, sipping on a glass of lovely wine and just felt so grateful for this new stage in our lives.

#75 (16/3)

So grateful that I'm starting to feel like this house is becoming a home!

#74 (15/3)

I'm grateful that I have such great friends that I have walked this journey of adoption with.

We are planning our trip to China and there is so much I would never have known if it hadn't been for the help of these people.  The journey in general would have been so much harder on our own - but the help I've received from our 'batch' has been invaluable.

#73 (14/3)

Today we went back to the Orthodontist and got the.best.news.ever.  
There will be no need for mouth surgery for Eb.  The braces are doing what they are meant to do perfectly.

So very grateful!

#72 (13/3)

I have the best husband.  We arrived home about 1.30 today and since we got home, he's put one of the TV's up on the wall, he's put the dryer in place in the laundry and he's put a holder up for the ducted vacuum.  He's a gem - I'll keep him!

#71 (12/3)

Sleep - I'm grateful that I've had the opportunity to have a lay down yesterday and today.  I'm still feeling exhausted but I know tomorrow will look better for the sleeps I've had!

#70 (11/3)

Oh my goodness.  Today we have woken up in beautiful Chiltern.  I'm so grateful that our Suixi (China) girls weekend was so close to home for us. Graham and I are more exhausted than we can put into words and travelling much further would have been very difficult.

#69 (10/3)

We have achieved so so much.  We've survived one of the hardest things you could do in your life.  Our home is now completely liveable and every.single.box has been opened and unpacked.  I'm extremely grateful.

#68 (9/3)

Tomorrow I may not feel grateful for this - but at the moment, I'm grateful that we will be going away for the weekend.  I need to get away from boxes!

#67 (8/3)

It's Wednesday and I'm flying through the opening of boxes and the sort of our 'stuff'.  I'm starting to see light at the end of the tunnel....I think!

#66 (7/3)

I'm increasingly grateful for this new town.  So many sweet people.  A next door neighbour who brought in some muffins to help us through, another brought us a plant to enjoy.  

What a lovely place to live!

#65 (6/3)

I have such a huge job ahead of me....as I unpack boxes and try to find a place for all our 'stuff'.

Unpacking reminds me of how lucky we are to live as we do.  Some people have so little and that is what I need to focus on as I sift through memories, some cherished, and decide what to keep and what not to.

#64 (5/3)

Today we woke in our new home.  I'm so very grateful for the journey we have been on - and the reality we are now living in.

It's been a hard journey at times....and the move has definitely been the hardest yet....but it's been a rewarding one for sure.

#63 (4/3)

Today is my birthday and today I have so much to be grateful for.

Parents who taught me the difference between right and wrong....
A husband who works incredibly hard and loves me.....
A daughter who brings sunshine into every day....
A wedding to do...which I love doing....
A new home to move into....

w.o.w.

#62 (3/3)

One great big grateful today....we got the keys to our beautiful new home!
Enough said!

#61 (2/3)

Today I gave a Plasma donation.  Not the first time, not the last.

As I sat there watching the cells leave my body, get spun around and then the red cells returned I thought about how amazing the world is today.  We walk around every day with our bodies making and using the blood to keep us alive.  It is red gold.  To be able to give my plasma to help people who need it is, to me, one of life's privileges and I'm grateful for the technology that means I can.

#60 (1/3)

Hello March!  Wow, Autumn is here and I love this season.  Here is a pic I took of a tree that is caught between Summer and Autumn.  Makes me smile and makes me grateful for the creation that surrounds me.
