TIGF: Things I’m Grateful For

Each Friday I join with Ashley from Hello Nature and Laura from Ginger + Co to share the things I’m grateful for this week.

It’s taken three attempts to get Jaxon to bed tonight – I think he’s super muddled at the moment as both Chris and Our Sidekick have been around more than usual. Now he’s in bed for the third time I’ll try to write this post.

Unexpected Invitations
Following the Open Air Service in town today we were invited to go to lunch with some friends. It used to be a tradition that following the Open Air we’d go for lunch but last year and I think the one before that for one or another reason it didn’t happen. It was lovely to hang out with people. Jaxon got his first taste of Chinese food (don’t worry a just a few bits of noodles and some vegetables)

Opportunities
This sounds like a bit of a random but it does make sense. The phrase goes “when one door closes another one opens”, I had an email yesterday opening the new door and an email today closing an old door. I have mixed feelings about it but I think it’s one of those good in the long run things.

Friends
Funny, after my post last week about the friendship “dating” service, I’ve had a couple of out-of-the-blue text messages and invites for outings.

I am pretty sure there must be other things that I am grateful for but I seem to be short of ideas at the moment.

What are you grateful for this week?
