Searching for sunshine....

In the spirit of trying to chase my blues away and inspired by my wonderful and positive friend Linda I am going to post a list of things that I am truly grateful for right now. The sunsine in my shadows....I know it's there just waiting to shine again.

1. Linda, my precious friend, you will never understand perhaps how much you inspire me to be a better person.
2. My beloved Peter who loves me unconditionally even on my cloudy days!
3. The sun that shines outside my window just now, reminding me that it is always shining even when I cannot feel its warmth.
4. The safety of my children's father and his new family. (they are in Japan but thankfully safe from the massive destruction of Friday's earthquake & ensuing tsunami)
5. Kate and Sam my darling babies who remind me daily how precious life itself truly is.
6. Simply the ability to live and breathe in a relatively free country.So many around the world do not have this basic human right.

Wishing you sunshine in your shadows
Helen
