Month of Gratitude: Day 5

🌼I am grateful for my home and especially my little container garden. I’ve never had a real interest in plants before moving in here. In the back as well as inside, is a merry mixture of herbs, flowers and some Kale and strawberries. Watching them thrive brings me great joy. Pottering around in my little garden is one of the most peaceful and rewarding parts of my week.

My home is pretty small but it keeps us safe and warm. It is filled with love, laughter, and well, ever so often the odd tantrum. It’s had to also be my home office since March and now my gym as well. It serves us well. I am very grateful for my home and garden. 🌼

Month of Gratitude: Day 4

🌼Today I am grateful for all our firsts this year. My son and I had our first train ride together on the Inchanga Choo Choo before lockdown. Awesome afternoon with my best friend and her family. We visited the Japanese Gardens in Durban North. We had driven past it so many times and had never stopped and walked through it until a week or two before lockdown. One of the monkeys wanted my phone and wasn’t taking no for an answer so we had to run for our lives😂.

I took Alex to the drive-in for first time and we were involved in his first (and, God willing, his last) car accident on our way home. 😔 We were not hurt fortunately but it was a real shock to our systems. Our car was written off so now we are living the car-less life for the first time😂. We are so over it so God willing we will have a new one in the coming weeks.

I am so grateful for our firsts this year 🌼

2020 Memories

Month of Gratitude: Day 3

🌼I am grateful for my son. My munchkin (don’t tell him I called him that though😜). He is such an awesome kid. Sometimes I look at him and am awed by the fact that this amazing kid was birthed from my body. I am thrilled that his soul chose mine to share this journey that we are on. He teaches me something new everyday and most importantly he’s mere presence is a wonderful reminder of how amazing and beautiful unconditional love is.

He started this year as a boy and will end it as a young man. Thanks to the arrival of Covid19 and the lockdown that ensured, I was able to watch him make this transition. The experience completely blew my mind.

Thank you for my son🌼
