the simple things...

When you don't get out much, I find you need to focus on the simple things in life that bring joy and amusement to your day. Otherwise I'd just feel bored and sorry for myself!

So here's the simple things I've been thankful for recently:


Watching my little girl put on a tutu and dance around the lounge room.

Watching the delight on Jessica's face as she sees her birthday cake.

Rain falling on the roof.

Watching the stars from my bed at night through the skylight.

Watching my kids giggle with glee as they put gumboots on and jump in puddles.

Family treat time - chocolate milk! Yum.

Seeing Matthew help Jess when something's too hard for her.

My lovely husband preparing dinner for us night after night.


Having the time to read my Bible and other good books during the day!

Good friends who visit and chat with me over a nice hot cuppa.


Just a few of my favourite things at the moment. Time is ticking away though. I've been on bed rest for 11 weeks now. The date for the stitch to come out has been set for the 10th of June. I can't believe how soon that is! After that I'll get up and move around much more, assuming the baby doesn't come straight away! And I'm sure once this baby comes I'll long for these days again when I could rest all day! I'm praying that when life gets more hectic that I can still take small moments every now and then to stop and be thankful for the simple things.
