Five Things | Pad Patter May 29th

[Angela Toucan]

Hello everyone. Happy Wednesday. We're facing a lot of stress at home, and my approach to this is to change my focus. So today lets have a fast 5 - name 5 things you are grateful for.

I'm grateful for:

• my new dishwasher
• my amazing smart children
• my amazing husband who has 1/2 a day off today to help out.
• wonderful friends at church
• the small flock of pretty baby chaffinches that are gracing our garden - I think there's a nest in the neighbour's tree next to our boundary fence.

I'm grateful for:

• Warm house (in particular my bed) - it's been a super stormy day today with wind, rain, thunder, lightning and occasional snippets of sun as well as it being very cold
• Healthy body - the past few weeks my food intolerances have been fairly settled which is great
• Creative time
• Job opportunities to apply for - it's 4th quarter so budgets are tight for any hiring and most government departments are on a hiring freeze
• My communities - both physical friends and family as well as virtual

I was very sick Tuesday so this week I’m especially grateful for good health, an appetite, a strong body, helpful family and nutritious food.
