25.01.2022 DAY 150 of my thankful year. A drive through the ranges today for a picnic lunch at Mt Magog. Very confronting seeing so much of the National Park so badly burnt. Luckily some superb survivors - Rosenberg’s Monitor. #westernaustralia #wawildlife #grateful #gratitude #gratitudeattitude #gratitudepractice #stirlingrangenationalpark #stirlingranges #stirlingrangesretreat
25.01.2022 DAY 166 of my thankful year. Feeling so much better in just a few days. So grateful for health workers and the gifts they bring. Currently following a new protocol which challenges my relationship with food - both what I eat and how I feel. Among other things it uses visualisation as well as simple foods to give your body a rest. Feeling better already. #grateful #gratitude #sunset #healthyliving
25.01.2022 DAY 157 of my thankful year. Today I am especially grateful that Silverbeard and I can talk, communicate, connect, touch, relate. An everyday miracle. #grateful #gratitude #gratitudeattitude #westernaustralia #wildflowersofinstagram #spiderorchid #communicationiskey

23.01.2022 DAY 155 of my thankful year. Grateful for a beautiful drive around and through the Stirling Ranges in very cold and windy conditions. Now safe and warm at home reflecting on the many wonders we have seen. Such as this brilliant #eucalyptus Tetraptera. #stirlingrangenationalpark #stirlingranges #westernaustralia #wildflowersofinstagram #wildflowersofwesternaustralia #grateful #gratitude #gratitudeattitude #homesweethome
22.01.2022 DAY 285 of my thankful year. Tomorrow Silverbeard’s grandgirls are coming for the day. I have dug out 2 children’s books I wrote for my grandboys about a dozen years ago and we will explore if they can help me illustrate them. One story is about a cat, the other about a chicken. They are both excellent artists. Looking forward to spending time with them. #gratefulheart #gratitudeattitude #grandchildrenareablessing
19.01.2022 DAY 156 of my thankful year. A quiet day at home gathering myself together after a busy week. Had enough of pics of orchids and birds and Ranges?? Here’s a pic of new life, extraordinary growth after catastrophic fire. Grateful for the miracle of life. #grateful #gratitudeattitude #gratitude #stirlingrangenationalpark #grasstrees #newlife
19.01.2022 What an inspiration this woman was to me. Can't believe she's gone. And so young.
18.01.2022 DAY 162 of my thankful year. Today I share immense gratitude for the life of Susan Ryan. A pioneer and inspiration. So sad she passed away so young. #gratitude #gratefulheart
18.01.2022 DAY 160 of my thankful year. Female Friends. Today I chatted, laughed, listened, cried, was inspired by and so grateful for my friends. #femalefriendship #femalefriends #grateful #gratefulheart #gratitude #gratitudeattitude #galahcockatoo #galahs #australianbirds #laughandcry
17.01.2022 DAY 161 of my thankful year. Time with the grandgirls is always special. Today was for some shopping and the Town Square Fair rather than a beach walk. Great fun. They are growing up so beautifully. #grandchildrenareablessing #grandchildrenarethebest #grandchildren #gratitude #grateful #gratefu#gratitudeattitude #westernaustralia #saturdaymorning
17.01.2022 DAY 216 of my thankful year. Yes. That’s us - Serpentine Seniors Sale. Part of the Australia wide garage sale trail this weekend. And the reason my beautiful grandboy has been helping us. I think we’re as ready as we’ll ever be. Silverbeard has worked so hard he’s exhausted. I’m pretty tired too. Grandboy is still up watching a movie. Big day tomorrow. #grateful #gratefulheart #gratitudeattitude #garagesaletrail #garagesale
15.01.2022 DAY 214 of my thankful year. Yes yes. Another grandboy gratitude post. He chose this recipe from #cookidoo for our 2 guests tonight and then worked extra hard with me to make it and dessert because Silverbeard cut his hand so couldn’t get it wet once dressed. And that was after having worked with Silverbeard all afternoon. Excellent meal. Excellent kitchen hand. #grandsonlove#grandsonsarethebest #gratitudeattitude #gratefulheart
15.01.2022 DAY 163 of my thankful year. Visiting grandgirls and family I was invited to wander around the garden and pick whatever flowers I wanted. These are just some - wedding bush, kunzea and proteas. #grateful #gratitudeattitude #flowers
14.01.2022 DAY 287 of my thankful year. A lovely mild sunny morning was the perfect time to water the garden, admire the massive pumpkins and chat with some female friends far away. So grateful to have friends who will share their sorrows and joys with me AND listen to mine. #gratefulheart #gratitudeattitude #friendsforever #talkingandlistening #earlymornings
12.01.2022 DAY 165 of my thankful year. Grateful for an ordinary everyday day - nothing specially good or bad. Easy to take for granted. Yet thinking about it this evening I realise that such a day needs to be celebrated too. So many things in my life I should never take for granted. Like my trusty TM5, a present from Silverbeard, a great workhorse in the kitchen churning out simple soups and complex dishes. Tonight simple mashed sweet potatoes with steamed sugar snaps - plus some salad. Delicious. So much to be thankful for. #grateful #gratefulheart #gratitude #gratitudeattitude #simplepleasures #tm5 #
12.01.2022 DAY 288 of my thankful year. A beach picnic for Silverbeard’s birthday with seafood and chips and birthday cake. Not surprisingly, a day of sunshine, great company, loving grandgirls making a sand love heart for him, lots of attention and blue skies and water left Silverbeard feeling good. #grateful #gratefulheart #gratitudeattitude #sunandsea #beachpicnic
11.01.2022 DAY 164 of my thankful year. Do you know how many sides a banana has? This was a quiz question I got wrong this afternoon. But it gave me the chance to think about and thank the humble banana - a satisfying little packet of pleasure and nourishment for which I am grateful daily. Well check it out. Five sides. #banana #grateful #gratitude #gratitudeattitude

09.01.2022 DAY 217 of my thankful year. The gate had just opened and Silverbeard braced himself for the foraging hordes. So #grateful for a really successful day of sales. So many people came and so much stuff went. Still lots to clear so Gorgeous Grandboy can’t go home yet until we organise what goes where- Op shop? Tip shop? Officeworks e-waste recycling? Or rubbish? Massive effort. Great teamwork. #garagesaletrail #gratefulheart #gratitudeattitude #grandsonsrock #silverbeard
08.01.2022 DAY 214 of my thankful year. So #grateful for our wonderful gardener John, who cleared a heap of our garden and delivered this amazing crop. Also trimmed the kale and cos lettuces so my fridge is bursting. So we had potatoes kale and salad for dinner. #gratitudeattitude #potatolover #gardenlife
08.01.2022 DAY 286 of my thankful year. A special day. Five years married to Silverbeard and grateful for every one of them. A fun morning with grandgirls exploring ideas for the books.
