Tuesday, April 29, 2008 - Thankful Thursday ~ 1st May

National Day of Thanksgiving in Australia is on the 10th May.  Today I found an interesting site called Gratefulness.org you might find it interesting. Also Grateful Friday. 100 things I am grateful for printout. Have a listen to this song I think I found on the Country Music Channel.  Count Your Blessings by Karl Broadie and Dianna Corcoran. A simple living thanksgiving. These are some of the things I have been grateful this week, these were taken from the two days that I stopped to write down my blessings.  ~ lovely soup for tea ~ lovely clean entry ~ broken light fixed ~ ds has some homework handed in ~ lovely books from the library ~ Piglet movie to watch and listen to ~ decluttering done and a nice serene effect Today I am thankful that I found what I needed at the op-shop.  A new netball team has started up.  They suggested that there were lots of netball skirts at the op-shop.  When I got there there were lots, one or two in the right colour, so I am pleased I got something and that it fits dd14 and I like it.  Also today I was looking at the roses, thinking they would be all finished for winter soon, and noticed a beautiful spray of roses on the climbing rose.  Well another day on and I am still finishing this post.  I am so glad to be involved in Thankful Thursdays again.  It hasn't been an easy week.  I have had two or more phone calls about my Dad who is very sick.  Also my pantry challenge is just that, challenging, I think I am just a little distracted with Dad.  And compared to last week, it is COLD.  Brrr.  I think this week I am very grateful for the new places and people I have met online through memes and being involved with some Australian bloggers and new people on my board, and a visitor to my blog.  I hope to soak it all in in time.  Like I say I am very distracted.  Yesterday though I got a delivery of plants.  I am grateful for them, especially the pink salvia, I was happy just to see its leaves, like an old friend.

I am so sorry to read about your dad being so sick. I hope and pray that he will get better soon. I love plants - I am just not good at keeping them alive - very sad. Thank you so much for sharing with us your grateful heart and I am glad you are sharing your graditude with us again :) Be blessed today and always...

Its a great list. Hope your Dad gets better. Are you finishing with winter, thus the plants? I never am sure about the climate in different parts of the world. Hope your week is blessed with less distractions.

Thank you all for your lovely comments. I visited all the blogs linked to Iris page yesterday, today I will check if there are some new ones. It is a bit strange buying plants in autumn, some are perennials and hopefully they will be OK with mulch around them even though they are small. We get frosts but no snow. The light was new, we are hoping to point the glass to a corner of the room no one stands in, otherwise, will have to get a new one. It was a little colored piece around the edge. Thanks for your wishes about Dad. He went to a nursing home two days ago. He needs a lot of prayer. He has a terminal illness. Edited by MyThreeDaughters on Thursday, May 1, 2008 at 9:56 PM
