Many times in recent months I have turned away from negative people ... Facebook was bugging me -feeds full of their complaining and woes ... I was ignoring them at work and when we were out and about ... I just couldn't stand the complaining over 'spilt milk'. I think part of all this began when little Georgie's health problems started. I was feeling 'guilty' and blessed for Hamish, and Isabelle's good health while precious Georgie battled on trying to live. The strength that Georgie and her beautiful parents showed really touched me... But most of all - it left me feeling very grateful.
So where to? What am I doing? Where will this blog take us?
I want this blog to try to be a way for me to document our lives, to capture special moments in our year, to have something special to reflect on next December 31st ... And to help me show gratitude. I'm not a poet or wonderful writer ... But I am doing this! I am changing! No more procrastinating!
Happy New Year to all our gorgeous family and friends. May this year be wonderful in so many ways! Lots of love to you all xxx
#1. I am grateful for special moments my children get to spend with their grandparents - laughing, learning, having fun, sharing stories, etc. Paul and I have have so many wonderful memories of our grandparents ... Now Isabelle and Hamish are creating their own.
In today's case - Isabelle learnt how to make trifle with Nanny Nea. They made it to celebrate New Year's Day and they made it for Dadda. Oh and Isabelle chasing clucky chooks with Poppy Percy ... Now that was a sight! Lol
Many of my memories involve cooking with Nanny Rice or spending time in the kitchen poking around with her. Nan always made you feel important and she gently taught you what to do or how to do it. That's exactly what mum did today with Isabelle... The custard turned out lumpy but Nanny just kept moving along like nothing happened ... Oh and there was also some jelly 'transferring' with fingers - lots of giggles in the kitchen then!
