Grateful for this Saturday

I had an amazing sleep last night so I woke up refreshed and surprised to see my sister, her other half and the little one. It is nice to get a hug from a 2yr old. Universe 1) I am grateful I got such a wonderful sleep last night. 2) I am grateful for my surprise wake up call. 3) I am grateful for the company of my niece while shopping. 4) I am grateful I was able to get a replacement of the 2 disk cd set I purchased last week as it was missing a cd. I am now looking forward to listening to it next week on the ay to work. 5) I am grateful for a lovely afternoon with my sister just having a bit of a late lunch, cuppa and a chat. Blessings

Grateful for this Friday

It really hasn't dawned on me that tomorrow really is a Saturday meaning I have 2 days off. That may seem strange to say when I love my job but life is exhausting so any time off is great. It is the kind of feeling you have before you go on holidays. It doesn't seem real. Kind of sad to have that feeling for a 2 day 'vacation' but I will take what I can get. Universe 1) I am grateful for the 'great job' from the GM today and the kiss on my hand from my boss. There has been a question on some contracts that our chief legal council have been querying but what I have done is right so I am thrilled. 2) I am grateful I got some amazing work done today. I am ticking off that to do list like crazy and it feels good. 3) I am grateful for another amazing lunch today. I got it from the same shop as yesterday but tried something new and I don't know which is my favourite. So amazing. 4) I am grateful I didn't notice the time today. That means that I wasn'

Grateful for this Thursday

Australia woke up to some reasonably good news today. The flood waters didn't peak as high as predicted. That is some good news in amongst great tragedy. Work wise, I have had a good day and I got a reasonable sleep last night and I am looking forward to going to bed tonight for yet another good sleep. Universe 1) I am grateful that the flood waters in Queensland didn't peak as high as expected. I am grateful that some people were spared the heartache of losing a home. 2) I am grateful to have heard that the horses shown on the news last night with their heads on the roof of a house trying to survive were rescued by some amazing men. 10 horses that would have died have got severe cuts, bumps and bruises but are a live and have been treated for free by a local vet. 3) I am grateful for the good nights sleep I had last night. It made my day easier. 4) I am grateful I had a good day at work getting more things completed. Ticking off a to do list is a great feeling. 5) I am

Grateful for this Wednesday

Yet another day of tragedy in Queensland. It is really difficult not to get caught up in the news. Like not wanting to see a car crash but stopping to look anyway. It is just unimaginable that the footage of a mother and her teenage son being dragged down the flooded river in their car didn't get out alive. It is tragic to know that children are among the dead. Seeing horses struggling to get to higher ground and knowing that they won't. I donated what was left in my everyday bank account to the flood appeal because so many people have lost everything. Universe 1) I am grateful for my visitor last night who sang like a nutter in the shower and greeted me so cheerily when I got home. 2) I am grateful I finally go to sleep last night. I did get 5 hours sleep so I am on the increase. 3) I am grateful that the meetings I facilitated today went really well. 4) I am grateful that I had a bit of a break during my day to get some analysis done. Not too taxing so it was nice to us

Grateful for this Tuesday

We have devastating floods in Queensland at the moment. Loss of life, houses, businesses, crops, stock. It is just terrible. We also have bush fires over in Western Australia. It makes life's problems seem quite small in comparison. Universe 1) I am grateful I got a bit of sleep last night. 3 hours is better than none. 2) I am grateful I got to work early again today so I could get a number of small things completed before the team arrived. 3) I am grateful for the little chats that the annoying lady at work and I have. She really is annoying but only with work stuff. General chats are really great and help me appreciate and understand her better. 4) I am grateful that I am safe here in my home, in my suburb, in my city. I send blessings to those who are less fortunate in Queensland and Western Australia. 5) I am grateful I started back at teaching tonight. I complain and almost dread it because I just want to go home after a day at work but when I get there I really love it

Grateful for this Monday

I didn't sleep last night. Nope, not even a half hour. Absolutely nothing. You'd think I would have been exhausted and falling asleep at the wheel on my way to work. In fact, I was completely bouncy. I needed to get to work early to sort through a few things before the rest of the team arrived so I left early, grabbed a bacon and egg muffin and juice on the way and was at work by 6:50. It was so great to have the team back today. I missed them like crazy last week. Universe 1) I am grateful that although I didn't sleep last night, I was bouncy and wide awake all day. 2) I am grateful I got to work so early. This meant I could leave early. 3) I am grateful I got some more important work completed today and that is the end of the stuff I have been procrastinating about. 4) I am grateful my team was back today. The company was wonderful. 5) I am grateful for the lunch time I spent with a colleague today. It was great to have a chat and catch up. Blessings

Grateful for this Sunday

I had quite a good sleep last night thanks to pain killers. I'm not going to complain because I woke up with just a dull thud which dissipated into no headache at all an hour after I woke up, quite wide awake and ready to get things done. I was so excited to find series 3 of Secret Diary of a Call Girl which I have been looking for for months and I found a heap of old 80's and early 90's CD's on sale so I bought a couple. Very excited about The Best Of Toto! Universe 1) I am grateful I had a good sleep last night. 2) I am grateful the migraine has gone. 3) I am grateful I woke up refreshed enough to get the things on my list done. 4) I am grateful for my indulgent acrylic nail infill and pedicure today. My nails look amazing. 5) I am grateful I found the DVD I wanted and some music I can't wait to listen to. Blessings.
