I’m grateful for wonderful books. I came across this one, Everyday Greatness, (Stephen R Covey, David K Hatch) at the library last week when Ethan was stocking up. It has heaps of great quotes, and some short stories that are incredibly inspiring. I learned more about Abraham Lincoln’s early days, in the chapter titled Humility.…
I’m grateful for my new logo! Nathan Shooter created this for me and the first place it will show up is in the new book. I’m grateful to be able to say that I can see the light at the end of the tunnel with the book – layout is taking place, first on Lyndon’s…
I’m grateful to be living on the edge of town, and taking the dog for a walk always makes me appreciate the area so much more. We only need to walk about 100 metres, past about 6 houses, with a dog so excited she pulls us along, and we’re on the edge of town and…
I’m grateful for two key people today – firstly my mum, who called early this morning as Dad was bringing sheep down to Dubbo. She offered to help in any way, and wanted to read some of my book. I was editing all day, technically just adding quotes, but we kept finding typo’s that have…

On Day 84 I’m celebrating my Grandad turning 94… I have had a most interesting day, and visited my grandparents tonight, who have celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary earlier this week, and Grandad’s birthday yesterday. (They were featured in Day 3) The most fascinating part of the day was the whole day tour of Fletchers…
Today I am grateful for fresh perspectives. I have really appreciated being able to bounce some ideas with some people, and tonight Lyndon’s parents came over and I shared with them a couple of ideas, without giving away my opinion. This gave me the opportunity to see what they thought, and their answers surprised me. …
I’m grateful for the school my son attends. I’m so thankful for the staff and school community who make the school what it is. I just attended the School Association meeting and was delighted to hear all the progress since the last one I attended (Term One I believe). The school has been granted the…
