And how wonderful to be grateful for your loo.. I saw a show recently ago with the Australian actor who was in that funny Aussie movie 'Kenny'. He was in a part of India with no running water.. There were women who's job it was to 'clean the toilets' they were shunned by society as the lowest of the los and sadly, if that is the life you were born into that was your lot. I was so sad for these poor women... and my gosh, was I grateful that I had a toilet I could flush... and that I was blessed enough not to be born under a drainpipe in India... Sooo much to be grateful for! <br /><br />Thanks for this reminder Bev.. You have a wonderful weekend!<br />Hugs<br />Jen xoJenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15838825956218018032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2428234665583319426.post-16040245716276344942010-08-20T10:23:31.189+08:002010-08-20T10:23:31.189+08:00I Bev, I'm like you appreciate everything I ha...I Bev, I'm like you appreciate everything I have and around me. I walked through a roll of eucalyptus trees going to my car the other day and thought I'm so lucky to walk through these trees, I appreciate their beauty! <br />You live in such a beautiful surrounding that I've missed.

I...Hey, Bev, your post sparked a funny thought. I'm grateful to be as old as I am, because the older I get the more I appreciate so many things around me. Growing up without a toilet, I sure do appreciate having one!! Although it's not quite the same as sitting quietly at the far end of the garden smelling the perfume from one of those "trumpet" plants that they now tell us are hallucinogenic. I might follow your lead and do a things I'm grateful for post.Paulinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15276284964859313257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2428234665583319426.post-82125368875785044792010-08-17T11:57:44.674+08:002010-08-17T11:57:44.674+08:00It is so important to be grateful for the every da...It is so important to be grateful for the every day things we take for granted.

Those, of course, are the basics and the rest is extra like having the talent to take some fabric and create with it. Loads of things.Doloreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00013261733996949731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2428234665583319426.post-56063097909645874702010-08-17T11:07:34.347+08:002010-08-17T11:07:34.347+08:00Enjoyed reading your post.
