Ten Things To Be Grateful For:

It has come to my attention that this 'Old Bag' has been doing a lot of winging this week.

So in the interests of my mental health and yours, I've decided to show my gratefulness for the following. Here are my top ten hits:

1. When I wake up in the morning I thank God I am still alive.

2. I turn to my partner and I thank God for giving me the best of men to share my life with.

3. I thank God for our 3 healthy daughters and pray that he will keep safe in his arms our beautiful daughter who passed away two years ago.

4. I thank God for the privilege of living in this beautiful city Hobart, Tasmania, Australia.

5. I thank God for my job as a teacher. Every day I get to make a difference.

6. I thank God for our home with it's beautiful view over the Derwent River.

7. I thank God that we have enough money to pay our bills and put food on the table.

8. I thank God for the spring flowers that are starting to bloom in our garden.

9. I thank God for the sunshine today after months of wintery skies.

10.I thank God for the 'silence' for it is only during the stillness of our lives that we hear his voice.
