We've just had a little trip down to Rangiora and Christchurch to see the family, and the family has expanded! Probably not in the way you would expect but expanded none the less. Mum and Dad have a farmlet and the population has boomed.....the latest additions are 6 kune kune piglets, 1 pet lamb, 13 lambs and 7 silky chicks, oh and not to forget my sister's new chihuahua puppy. So I was surrounded by little things!!
Little twins.
Sweetheart the lamb, Tucker, Toby, Tulip and Talulah.
The silky hen with her chicks (one poking over her tail lol)
Mr Archie Cuddles
But being surrounded with a large chunk of my family made me think of the other little things in life - ones we take for granted, don't notice until they aren't around or are just too busy to appreciate. The little break away gave me the opportunity to reflect on some little things I should be grateful for.............
♥ my mum's home cooking yum!
♥ my dad's stupid and often painful jokes
♥ my little sister....I love everything about her
♥ for the beautiful country that we live in
♥ an awesome husband who has to deal with me and my crazy family lol
♥ my daughter....she is such a sweetie
♥ that my mum shares all of her knowledge with me
♥ for my son who held down the fort at home!
So this week, take some time to stop and smell the roses, have a sleep in, read a book, go for a walk, give someone a hug, make someone's day and most of all, be grateful for what you have...at times it may seem like life is tough but there is always something to be grateful for.
Love ya
