Day 120

Thats me on camp........with a smile though : )

I am grateful that I work in a job that gives me the opportunity to design and run camps for kids.

Though excitement increases when I am given the an okay to mmm increase the challenges of the camps I run. Especially in today’s environment of …. “YOU CANT DO”. I feel privileged that I can offer an opportunity for kids to learn through a new experience. While 2013 camps will be similiar to previous I look forward to 2014 camps they will offer new experiences. Ohhh so excited (fingers crossed). so excited ...

Day 119

What can I say......not best pic and the Banana bread does looks like it's on steroids again? (No idea what I do wrong)

Do I eat this stuff ..........No

Do I like cooking it ..........Yes?

It always surprises me the total enjoyment on the kids’ faces when I take home baked muffins, cakes, etc. to groups or peer support programs. For me it’s a must and natural thing, tonight for some reason it made me think about my mum......the fetes, girls guide days, friends over, parties, and school tuck shop. My mum seemed always to be there even when she had to work.

But what I am grateful for is that she always included us kids in that cooking. Those days when she was making something we are sitting at the bench, stirring this, pouring in this, colouring this. She has done the same thing with my nieces and nephew. Actually anyone that has sat at her bench has been lucky.

Kid's ask how'd ya make it..........’my mum taught me’ I say (If I look in their faces I know I am so lucky to have my Mum as my Mum

Day118

Grateful that certain connections remain through your life.

Had a wonderful lunch and afternoon, with a very beautiful friend of mine, her husband and her 4 amazing kids. Nothing in the world can lift your spirits more than kids running out calling your name, bounding in excitement to see you. (think that is thanks to their mum though : ) and the love of a friend .

Time flies so fast when I am with her you may think an hour has gone by and you find its 3, 2 and it's 5. Now that’s great company. Wonderful mother, beautiful wife and talented gorgeous women

Day 117

I am grateful today to Battery World (fri late arvo), and Pro Computers at Maroochydore. Who helped me to solve my computer dilemma. I must admit when the computer shut down I was given 1 option of what it was from several outlets. Very lucky that by Friday arvo when I finished work none of those outlets found they could help me (would order parts though) till Monday.

Between the guy (so sorry forgot name keep thinking its Shane too) at Battery world who actually took time out to explain other possibilities, and then Shane from Pro Computers where originally got computer. It was discovered that the problem the computer was diagnosed with (several times ) was actually not. Instead of till 9th May or 22nd May when it could be solved/fixed, it has been working since 4.45pm this afternoon. Great honest guys…...................Natural, now will always go back there smart customer service (they seemed to enjoy their job too : )

Day 116

So loving my La Balsa and mooloolaba walks.I am grateful that I have been welcomed into a wonderful group of women to walk with.  It's been a good year/2  since I have walked with them. I so enjoy their company and conversations while we walk and .......of course over the important coffee. So happy to be back great way to start the day.
