Day 28. Gratitude July

Coffee. There aren't many days that I remember what a privilege it is to be able to make and drink my own coffee - I often take it for granted; the beans and those who produce them; the clean drinking water in the machine; fine engineering; and an exquisite crema to close off a great brew. Today I'm grateful for a mere cup of coffee!

Day 27. Gratitude July

Today I'm grateful for the hills to the east of us - the Dandenong Mountain range and trails. I'm privileged to run in these hills with its trees, animals, birds and ... other runners.

Day 26. Gratitude July

For an hour of magic in the kitchen for this week - Chia puddings, banana bread, breakfast granola. 

Day 24. Gratitude July

Today I'm grateful for poetry and poets, because of this line from Mary Oliver's "The Summer Day" 

"Tell me, what is it you plan to do

with your one wild and precious life?"

Day 11. Gratitude July

Over the last week we have drifted through several shops, theme-parks and markets. Almost everywhere we went there were creative, delightful and thought-provoking creations. Today I'm grateful for creative people who make me laugh and think ... an Ent for your garden, a ride-on esky (chilli-bin), a table "number" made out of toy whole-foods,  ... and signs (the last one from HogsBreath cafe)!
