Grateful

That my mum is safe and well and home with us again.
Where would we all be if she had never come home?

For cups of tea, chats & debriefs, cuddles & colour in her sunny kitchen.

For time together, for not having to go through what so many others have, & are.

I can't even begin to describe how grateful I am,

or how sad I feel for those lost, hurt or grieving.

For a visit with Charlotte, a splash, a chink, an hour or so with my beautiful daughter is moving quickly into a world of her own.

For shining girls who light up my life,

for a proud & sparkling preppie,

for simple things like pikelets after school on the Dorothy plate.

For love, in all it's forms. For the opportunities to be with each other,

share our lives together, to fight & make up & make mistakes, and forgive.

For flowers & blue skies, for green hills & butterflies, for soft sheets & good books,

for dinner out with sweet friends, for kind words from a warm town,

for the flashes of beauty & joy that slip into every day.

So much to be grateful for.

I'm playing along with Maxabella, are you?

Hope you have the happiest of weekends,

see you soon xo
