Gratitude list

February 10, 2008 · 1 Comment

I am grateful for:

* That I don’t suffer back pain everyday

* That I have the time and energy to clean my house

* That it is such a lovely day today

* That I don’t actually mind the smell of doggy doo (hubby actually gags on the smell, so the job of cleaning it up has defaulted to me)

* That I can actually walk out of my kitchen knowing it is not perfectly clean, and I am actually ok with that. (Dont get me wrong, the kitchen is clean…I deep cleaned it today, I even emptied the drawers and cleaned out the crumbs, but my windows could do with a wash, and the perfectionist in me in the past would have made sure the windows were cleaned too, but I have other things to do and I needed to move on…I will get to the windows next time…I am proud that I was able to move on without any anxiety – I am getting better at beating my perfectionism)

Shop for farmers!!

February 10, 2008 · 1 Comment

Woolworths/safeway are having a charity day this Friday 15th Feb where all profits are going to the farmers.

I think this is a great idea. I missed it last year, but I am saving up all my shopping and am going have a huge shop on Friday. I like the fact it is 100% of all profits, not a percentage or a couple of cents like other promotions that you see.

If you have grocery shopping to do this week anyway, I urge you to shop at Woolworths/Safeway and shop for a good cause.

If you want to check it out further go here: www.woolworths.com.au 

My Dad was on a farm till he got sick and my uncle has just had to leave his property and try to find a job (not easy at 60 odd). It is actually a blessing in disguise that my dad did have to sell his property as with the water restrictions now, many farmers are having to just bulldoze their trees as they don’t have any water allocation to water them.

Anyway something to think about to help someone else and it wont cost you any more than normal.
