grateful for




freshly picked strawberries that remind me of hot Summer days. They are such a great snack to have on hand & having them available this time of year when the skies are grey makes me grateful for the sun that is shining somewhere for them to grow!



time to stand still & reflect on life. 
I don't do enough of it but when I get that moment to myself to stop, take a few breaths & get my mind back on track it makes me a better me.


time spent in the country.
I love driving through small country towns to then stop by the side of the road & look out to paddocks of grass & sheep & cows & to look at how quiet & still everything can be. I am grateful for this amazing world we live in.

more gratefulness here : join in!

    I haven't managed to produce even one strawberry this winter... I knew it was me, not them! x

    These snaps are divine. The bowl of strawberries is perfection... and yes they remind me of Summer too! When I was little my parents used to grow them and we would have mountains of them for dessert... dusted with icing sugar, Mmmm, what a sweet memory :o)

    I could've written this post, but without the beautiful pictures! I tasted my first strawberries for the season today and they were amazing! I too relish the moment to be still though seldom actually do it. And I love country towns. Just don't get out enough from the big smoke. I loved the road trip we took about 4 years ago and all the sights of nature and vast expanse. City life can be draining.
