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…
I am grateful to be driving home after two and a half weeks in 3 locations. It’s fun to have a mobile office and be able to work from anywhere. However, there is no place like home! A lovely moment I was grateful for tonight was at dinner when Ethan acknowledged the waitress saying “You…

My gratitude today is for the feedback I’ve been getting about this 100 Days of Gratitude blog. It was just an idea that emerged with a facebook friend who I met for coffee in a nearby town, and I jumped at the idea, thinking it would be a useful exercise for me to actually commit…
Firstly, I’m grateful for my first swim in the ocean in ages! …April, I guess that’s not too long ago really… It was pretty chilly, but enormously refreshing – in more than just a cold water kind of way. There’s something liberating about the ocean, the breadth, the depth, the movement… I’m a little…
I’m grateful for walks to the beach, and along the beach of course. I’m grateful that I can hear the ocean from here – we’re staying so close to the beach, separated only by a small park and a lot of trees. I’m also grateful for time with Ethan, who I didn’t see for a…
