Contemplation

Today is somehow sobering to me. I have much to be thankful for and yet so easily miss it and grumble.
It is good to sit and contemplate, and be refreshed.

I am thankful for:
54.  Learning to knit socks.
55.  Sharing with my daughter as she teaches me how to knit the socks.
56.  A new bag.
57.  Tidy bookshelves.
58.  Remembering my Dad. It would be his birthday today.
59.  A very juicy plum.
60.  The peacefulness of the sheep on the hillside.
61.  Gluing little tiles on a piece of wood with Sunday School children.
62.  The rubbish being collected.
63.  The sound of children playing in the school yard.
64.  Realising I don't need to travel very far at all to be aware and thankful to Father God.

  1. The socks are coming along well, Mum. The stripes are looking good! I remember those glasses on Grandpa and him reading the newspaper and listening to the footy on the radio.

  2. Mave, I really like your last gift.
    If we could always be thankful right where we are - what a blessed difference it would make to our lives and those around us!
    Thank you for sharing this..
