Weekend grateful


This weekend I'm grateful for...


An Hour of Pampering - I had a pedicure this afternoon. It was blissful and just what I needed after a hectic week. The lovely Vietnamese women in the shop where I go, giggled and chatted to each other in their mother tongue. It sounded like music and it felt ok to close my eyes fleetingly.


Heartfelt - This amazing organisation is going from strength to strength. Tonight they had a segment on a national news program. This week they will open a very special exhibition in Melbourne. They have given their wonderful gift to at least two people I know. I am so grateful that there is an organisation that does such extraordinary work.


Home - As I prepare to go to Sydney for the Aussie Bloggers Conference, it feels good to be home this weekend. To puddle around, to wander down the road to the farmer's market, to catch up on washing, to play in the backyard. Home. Grateful for it. Lucky to have it.

  6. Ohhh, nice! A pamper to start your weekend!

    Very, very true about being grateful for a home. And Heartfelt are just unspeakably amazing. What a concept. I have followed them on FB for a while now and I always feel a little pull in the pit of my stomach when I read their posts.
