I am officially 28 years old (and 6 days).
And instead of a post of 28 things I have learnt in my 28 years, I am going to list the 28 things I am grateful for…
The sweet Lord that chose me to be one of His children
The day I was born and the life I have been given
The precious family I was born into
The privileged childhood I grew up with
The sweet world of nature and beautiful environments that I grew up in
The exceptional education I was provided with
The unique teachers that cared for me and helped me grow and achieve
The brain I used to further my education
The able body I was blessed with to move around and play sport
My 5 senses that allow me to truly experience each day
The food that I have fed my body with
My 5 senses that allow me to truly experience each day
The food that I have fed my body with
The people I met in life that taught me valuable lessons
The incredible man I fell in love with and is now my husband
The amazing and accepting in-law family that I married into
The skills I was blessed with to perform in the workplace
The privilege of being able to travel and see the world
The privilege of being able to travel and see the world
The special friends that love, support and entertain me each day
The furry animals that were my friends through life
The safe and reliable cars that I have driven and drive
The homes and shelter that have provided a roof over my head
The blessing of being able to build our new family home
The blessing of being able to build our new family home
The miracle of being a mom to our gorgeous baby girl
Waking up to the sea and sunshine each and every day
Waking up to the sea and sunshine each and every day
The advanced technology that allows easy communication across the world
My sweet blog and the creative release it is and the sweet community that I interact with
The even sweeter blogging friends I have “met” and interacted with
The genuine, unconditional love I receive every second of each day
Being able to turn 28 this year…
