Constants

Today I am grateful for the constants in my life.

Without the anchors to keep me grounded, who knows where I'd be??

I know that whatever else happens throughout the day the cat will want out as soon as we move in the morning; the kids will want their breakfast served up to them as they lounge in front of the telly; I will have a cup of tea before I can be civil to anyone else in the house.

I know that work will always be easier with a cup of coffee going cold on the bench beside me; ironing will always have reached the top of the basket before it gets done; Thomas will always have a full laundry bag stuffed in behind his door, and dirty socks stuffed under his bed!

I also know that there will always be a brief fight to get the kids to bed at night, and then lots of hugs and cuddles and kisses before they settle down. I know that I will go into their rooms every night before I go to bed for one last look and one last kiss before the day is done. (Until, of course, it gets to the stage where they stay out half the night, and I pretend to be asleep when they finally fall in the door!!!).

I know that these constants will not always be so...so for now, until they are replaced by new constants, I am grateful for them!

Gratefully yours.

  2. Hello Gretta, loving the positive vibes you are sending out into the universe through your daily acknowledgements. Can I add to the good vibrations by sending you the recipe for Turkish Delight ice cream I promised? See www.pixelsandplates.blogspot.com

    Try it, you'll have something else to be grateful for ;-)

    Moochas smoochas to all, especially our darling Meggie and Thomas.
