Grateful 23/12

Today I am grateful that my precious little family is feeling better.

For the past 3 days, Cameron, Lily and I have been sick with the gastro bug. Not a nice time at all.

Today is the first day I have woken up feeling back to normal, so I am very grateful for that. I find I tend to take my health and feeling well for granted until I fall ill and then I long to feel normal again.
So I am going to make a conscious effort to enjoy and aprreciate my health each day.
It is so lovely to wake up each morning and bounce out of bed looking forward to the day ahead.

Today is Christmas eve, eve. I cannot believe how quickly Christmas has come around this year. I have only one gift to purchase, which I will do when I finish work tomorrow.
Oh and of course, now I am wondering if I have enough sticky tape to wrap all the gifts, there is always one last minute item to grab isn't there?!

Today, because of Cyclone Laurence that has hit WA, we have extremely strong winds and 42 degrees forecast for here today. This has resulted in a catastrophic fire danger warning.

I must admit now living in a farming area with a scrub close by it does make me very nervous. I guess all I can do is be viligant and prepared and keep an eye on the CFS website for any incidences nearby.
Our neighbours told us that the locals are very helpful and if there is a fire nearby they will come and let you know and help in anyway possible.

I am quite grateful for that as most days Cameron is working at least an hour and a half from home, today is no different.

I am hoping the rain we are forecasted does arrive this afternoon.

On a lighter note I am very much looking forward to Christmas day, I am most looking forward to spending time with my family.
Plus there is s0mething very exciting happening Christmas night that only my parents and I know about, I look forward to revealing all after Christmas.

I just adore Christmas decor.
