Today, we give thanks for:
1. A morning car ride with the hubby: The good man drove me to my research site today before he went to work. I really appreciated that he woke up extra early to do so, even though he had a major case in the morning. It was also nice to just chit-chat with him in the car, while enjoying the morning sky as it lit up slowly...
2. A good morning at Pasir Ris collecting data. I managed to get there in time to catch the sunrise (with the iPhone...), and the gloriousness of the painted sky helped to make up for all the icky junk washed up by the tide (there were balls, water bottles, plastic bags, and all sorts of stuff, but you can't see it in the photos since the beach is dark!). At my research site, I was accompanied by a whole bunch of egrets and a couple of herons out fishing, as well as all my crabby friends...
3. Shade provided by trees: Again, because without them I'll be sunburnt, since it was really hot out there!
4. Prayer: That we can present all our cares and worries and know that He listens.
5. Nicky the dog: Yes, he's a barky nuisance and he's too noisy and rather nuts. And we have to bring him downstairs three times a day for his pee breaks. And he keeps pooping or peeing in the kitchen. But he's affectionate, he makes me feel safe when the hubby is on call, and he's always happy to see you. And the boy loves him... In short, he's part of the family!
What are you thankful for today?
I´m thankful for my family, for the little, but lovely home we have, for our good health and for all the beautiful things that can still be found in this controversial, problematic and seriously damaged society. Great post, by the way! I love mornings!
ReplyDeleteHi Kira... Thanks! Yes, mornings are really great, and I'm always happy when I get some time in the morning before the little boy wakes up...
