Yesterday I was reminded there is a lot to give thanks for.......
I work part-time as a receptionist in the Allied Health Centre at our local hospital. I relieve sick leave and annual leave and also do reception for some specialist clinics to boost my hours. Once a fortnight I do reception for a paediatrician. Yesterday was one of these clinics. A fellow worker brought in her 10 week old twins who were born at 32 weeks but are doing well considering, a pigeon pair and oh so cute. I had a lovely cuddle! Other parents brought in children and left facing more tests and specialists and uncertain futures, other children already have diagnoses which mean each day will be a struggle for the parents and the child. I came home feeling very thankful for my children and their health.
In the afternoon I visited a friend who has just returned home from interstate after her Father passed away. We drank coffee, laughed and cried and I hope I was some comfort to her. I came home and phoned my Mum and made sure she knows I love her.
I managed to do some stitching on the '3 little pigs' yesterday and it is still on schedule to be finished this week! Plan to have a photo by the weekend!

It is wonderful that your perspective allows for so much empathy for others, and that you remember to tell your family you love them!
That "Little Boy Blue" section is so adorable! The bird staring out made me giggle it was so cute! I look forward to the next one! :)
Thanks for visiting my blog. I loved this post and it makes me thankful that my grandson is healthy and happy and doing well. My grown daughter has MS so we have had our challenges but it's good to get perspective once in a while.
