I'm Grateful

Picture found here

Oh I have been a slack tart and haven't joined in with the Saturday 'I'm Grateful' with Maxabella for a while but now I'm back.

This week , like most weeks, has had it's ups and downs but here is what I'm grateful for (in no particular order)

* Growing up in a generation where Oprah was a major influence.  I am a huge Oprah fan and last night watching the finale I realised how privileged we are to be inspired by such a great woman.

* Ginger & Ginger beer......this pregnant girls new best friends!

* Being part of the blogger/twitter community....need a question answered, looking for advice it is brilliant!

* My parents for graciously saying yes when the Madam wants to go to their place.....which means I can catch up on a lot of things!

* Mezza Italiana By Zoe Boccabella One of the best books I have read in a long time.

Apart from that I am also really grateful I get to wake up every morning.....it's always a good start!

I'm Grateful for....

This week I am grateful for........

1. Being Australian...I think we are the best country with a phenomenal community.  This week proved that whether you are face to face or online no matter your colour, religion, race we look after each other.

2. The opportunity to have adventures and to still be able to 'see' the adventure in life.

3. Having a Mr and a Madam that can frustrate and make me laugh at the same time.

4. Being part of the blogging & twitter 'crew' - I not only learn a lot from everyone but get the opportunity to chat with some extraordinary people (in 140 characters or less!)

5. The reminder that it's best to follow your heart, be authentic and that a healthy respect for Mother Nature is always required.

This is my first time linking up with Maxabella's Saturday I'm grateful for....come and join xx
