It was just a week ago that I wrote this post about Mining for Gold... and from that night onwards our family entered into a week of sickness, where to be honest, all thoughts of mining for gold disappeared as we tended to vomiting children and even one adult (me!!).
After only a few hours sleep last night, instead of looking bright eyed and bushy tailed like the photo above, rather I feel and probably look somewhat like this photo of our dog Boo below:
As a fresh week begins with yet another victim struck down with this horrible bug, I did have a slight snigger as I re-read last week's post, but guess what? What I said still stands.
Despite the dark days of sickness lately, there is still so much good stuff to be grateful for. I'm learning that gratefulness and contentment isn't reliant on my circumstances, but on my attitude.
And guess what? No matter what is going down in your neck of the woods, I bet if you look hard enough, you too will find some gold, even if only tiny fragments.
So here is some of the stuff I'm grateful for:
Crochet - a hobby that also doubles as a way to warm my family (and it's also my stress relief!)...

This amazing family - each child is so different, precious and funny...
Grateful for my six year old's pictures and stories. This one is a picture of Jesus with orange hair....
Boo in pants... just cause its funny...
This guy just because he keeps me laughing and balances me out in a way that only he could...
Let's not forget the good things...
