Just joining in with the fun … I was inspired by Aspiring Mum’s post. These are some of the things that made me smile over this past week.
1. An appointment with the school guidance counsellor, where we were reassured that our 16 year old son is on track for his dream of going to Uni to do IT studies in 18 months time. My baby is going to Uni!
2. Read a really great book ”Australian Women of Grace” by Robyn Hipkiss, and got a lovely message back after I contacted the author to tell her how much her book inspired me … feel like I’ve made a new friend!
3. Collecting the Footprints mail this morning (had to squeeze Footprints in here somewhere LOL … see previous post!) and received a cheque from a new reader who not only wants to subscribe for three years, but has also ordered a copy of both of our books, “Clues to your Calling” and “Decadence”!
4. My 13 year old daughter cooked dinner last night, and had her Dad as the “kitchen helper” (check out the original kitchen helper post here). She made something which was new to our family – butter chicken – which she served with rice and frozen vegetables. Apparently she had it at my sister’s house and thought it was so good, she wanted to introduce us to her new favourite dish. It was a bit spicier than what I normally like but it was still yummy, and I was just so proud!
5. The fact that we have a long weekend – here in Redlands Monday is a public holiday for the Ekka (Brisbane Exhibition) Show Day!
Now, I’m going to follow in Deb at Aspiring Mum’s footsteps oops footprints of course! If you would like to join in Five For Friday – simply leave a comment with a link to your blog post, letting us know all about your Five For Friday. Have fun!

Yep, I’ve joined in. I certainly had things I could add for that list this week.

MY five things Janet: smiling that the laundry is caught up on.
Smiling at the MASH DVD we watched.
Smiling that the GOD who made the universe wants a relationship with ME!!
Remembering my own school days when my brother shared he’d been to a 25th school reunion recently.
Smiling that the winter won’t last forever!!

It was a great week … yet in many ways just an ordinary week. I have much to be thankful for!

Just read your Five for Friday, and since it is Friday (though a couple of months late) I thought I would join in.
1. My daughter came home from camp today – have really missed her!
2. My relationship with another of my children has sweetened of late – such a blessing!
3. The weather is cool for December – nice for making Christmas treats!
4. I have nearly finished all my Christmas shopping – feeling very organised!
5. I have a nice home to live in, a nice family to share it with, a job that I enjoy, friends to enrich my life and a saviour who I love. I am abundantly blessed!!!!

Thanks for joining in Janet! It’s nice to reflect back on the week and look for things that made us smile! Great news about your son going to uni – and your daughter cooking dinner!
