A Magic Moment.

This morning as I walked onto the deck on my way to the clothes line (yes the sun was shining.....woo hoo) a rainbow lorikeet landed not 6 feet away. I stopped in my tracks so as to not scare it and it gave a little tweet and waddled toward me, chattering away, seemingly unafraid. Sadly the dog spotted it through the window, barked and scared it off. But that brief moment was such an unexpected gift. 
     


How many wonderful things there are to be grateful for in this world?! How many unexpected gifts however brief?!

Today I'm glad about : lunch with my dear friend Heather. She's funny and caring, honest and wise and my life is better for knowing her.

                                 : the sun shining so I got all my washing dry. (gotta lurve that sun!!!!!!!!)

                                 : talking to my husband and each of my 3 children. There are not enough words to say how much I love and admire them.
                                 
                                 : flannelette sheets. :)

Actually the list is pretty well endless, now I think about it. An attitude of gratitude is a handy thing to have.
And an occasional magic moment with a rainbow lorikeet helps too.
