Saying thank you

Today America is celebrating Thanksgiving, a traditional holiday and celebration that I feel can be celebrated more often than for just one day a year.

On this topic of being thankful I thought I would also say thanks...

Being thankful

From here

 

Walking... smiling... breathing... eating... Be thankful for what you can do!

Writing... reading... typing... thinking... Be thankful for what you've been taught!

Friendships... family... love... laughter... Be thankful for what you have!

Lets give today to being thankful for everything that is good in our lives!!!

Considering the end of a good year

So I am in the process of finishing up at the office and will be leaving for a long and well deserved Christmas break tomorrow afternoon.

As I am sending the last few emails to ensure that clients and colleagues are all well informed and instructed for the next couple of weeks, I am filled with a tangible feeling of excitement for the holiday that awaits! Wow! What a year!! New friends, new family members, a new job, new hobbies, new adventures - fantastic!

I know this might sound like my last post for the year (I promise it is not) but this morning as I was driving to the office a strange feeling overwhelmed me - another year to put on the bookshelf. I cannot believe how quick this year has flown past, but in the same breath I cannot believe how much one's life can change, develop and grow over such a short period of time. 

Today I am not writing to say happy new year, today I am writing to say thanks for a great year!! 

Thanks to all who made this a GOOD year!

For those of you who will be traveling, I am wishing you safe travels, for those of you who will be home-bound, I am wishing you happy DIY's, gardening and chilling on your couch, for those of you who are going on adventures, I am wishing you many happy memories and good times, for those of you who are still indecisive, I am wishing for inspiration and creativity in the festive season.

Some inspiration

I will be traveling for the next few days, so expect a short delay in my posts, but when I do write next I will be doing so with a happy heart and from a room with a sea-view in my happy place - Stilbaai, Western Cape.

Wonderful holidays await... sigh!!

Give Thanks

As the United States is celebrating Thanks Giving today, I will write exactly about that - saying thank you.

What do you have to be thankful for? 

Do you say thank you often enough? 

From here

 

We all have so many blessing to be grateful for! Be it because you have a wonderful husband, wife, lover or friend. Be it because you just landed that perfect job. Be it because you are in perfect health. Be it because you have people that care in your life. Be it because you have a roof over your head, clothes to wear or even because you you are ALIVE.

Today I am thankful for this life I am living. Thanks for the laughter, the love, the sadness, the caring, the friendships, the excitement, the trying times, the happiness, the joys and the mistakes. 

Today I am thankful for all of these elements that are life.
