Well it has been two weeks since I started this….
Todays challenge is:
Write about how the challenge has changed your perspective thus far.
Well today is a little different.
It is the anniversary of my Mum passing away – it has been three years.
Mum was always grateful. I took the following list from the eulogy which my wonderful wife read at Mum’s funeral – just note point 7:
On 30/3/2014 Aunty Glor told Ian and I that these were the things she was thankful for:
- Having a good home
- Nice people to look after me
- The doctor comes when I call, and he is nice
- Someone to do my shopping
- Having a joke
- Visits from my family
- I rarely wake up miserable, I wake up grateful
- When I smile it makes other people happy, that makes me happy
- Having a packet of potato chips when I want – sometimes one in the morning and one in the afternoon
- I love seafood – I wish I could have more
- Looking at my photographs – especially the ones of Dad and remembering those days
- I love eggs for breakfast – emphasized love!
I don’t want to write anymore tonight about this (sounded a little forrest Gumpy there!)
I think my previous post of Mum’s eulogy is enough for today.
