Celebrating Another Year to Be Thankful For!

Birthdays are excellent reminders to look back on one's life (or at least, the past year), to see how much one has grown, how far one has come to achieving one's goals and dreams, and to appreciate all the people and events that have contributed to the richness of our lives.

Of course, some people may have worse experiences than others and I admit, I often feel more blessed than others but I also naturally prefer to see the goodness that God has filled my life with.

From my last birthday, we've enjoyed so many blessings:

- our first ever camping trip as a family

- four out-of-town trips to beautiful places: Flynns Beach, Hunter Valley, Nowra and Berry

- the timely completion of our new home

- moving into our home that we absolutely love, and the satisfaction that all the hard work has paid off

- the company of family and friends (old and new)

- the surprise of a new baby

- good health

What more can I ask for? Thank you, God!
