We met at the bottom of my driveway at 5.15am and wandered down to the beach. We arrived as the colours of the sun were starting to show in a line on the horizon. The ocean pool was fresh and inviting. It was so lovely to be in the pool swimming, floating and chatting as the sun rose. She is wanting to make it a regular thing for her self care in 2024. I think I'll aim to join her sometimes. </div><p></p>leanne can bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05422447758929601014noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-450867615304249045.post-82839660474655425912023-11-29T13:44:00.003+11:002023-11-29T13:44:43.797+11:00gratitude on repeat<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh1bLvsiii2RdIH1LUDv6DtSSwTYFILfV437iHrsxIZ6vSiXvqjOdRQ7UXu8cGdFDNd4zApkZMsIzCMcspzr2CEe9UEepzkZ30WsdXlQR19Ik-VlsANK6kzM0bKtK0Qvp67bJl3gOcjzep2NjuATGp-8y6EmFlL3gNCWVWMjkKH_3kbcZqFvRf8Ix2D4eHR" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="2848" data-original-width="4272" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh1bLvsiii2RdIH1LUDv6DtSSwTYFILfV437iHrsxIZ6vSiXvqjOdRQ7UXu8cGdFDNd4zApkZMsIzCMcspzr2CEe9UEepzkZ30WsdXlQR19Ik-VlsANK6kzM0bKtK0Qvp67bJl3gOcjzep2NjuATGp-8y6EmFlL3gNCWVWMjkKH_3kbcZqFvRf8Ix2D4eHR=w640-h426" width="640" /></a></div><br />I have a journal that I often (not always) write in the mornings.

I suppose because it's Thanksgiving in the US, people set aside time to think about what they're grateful for. I'm on the other side of the world but see immense value in counting our blessings.</p><p>So my thought this morning* is that I might post daily through November with a photo (new or old) and some thoughts about what I'm grateful for. </p><p>I am so grateful today that I was able to catch up yesterday with my son & his wife for lunch after sending a random text to see if they might be working from home.
