It's a lovely sunny autumn day. The horses are milling about, the birds have been in for breakfast and a swim and have gone to....well .... wherever they go through the day. Have just picked some onions, capsicum, and beetroot, 3 figs, and got 7 eggs from 6 chickens (???) Washing is hung and the bread maker just started up and scared the heck out of me! I'm making some fruit bread for my eldest; hoping it's ready before I go over to their house for a barbeque lunch. Doesn't a meal made by someone else taste soooooo much better than when you have to do it yourself? :)
It's a thoughtful day today. A boss where my daughter works passed away today after only being diagnosed with cancer a few weeks ago. Her passing must be so incredibly devastating for her family and friends; today will be forever etched in their minds. It made me think again at how quickly life can change; how fast what was so important one day pales into insignificance the next due to a change in circumstances. How easy it is to be caught up in the trivial things and miss the beauty that's all about us - be it family, friends, our home. An attitude of gratitude can turn a crappy day into a brilliant one.
