It’s easy to feel unlucky in life, or that everything and everyone is against you. Always stop to think about reasons to be thankful – it lifts your spirits and makes you smile.

Family has to be my number one thing to be thankful for. While my children are miniature and expert time thieves and home can sometimes be tantrum central, life would be pretty dull without them. Busy family life is full of trips to the zoo, or bike rides in the park. A rainy day at home with imaginative children can turn into quest to find pirates and their treasure during a storm on the ocean. Not to mention the fearsome crocodiles trying to hunt us down. Families – hard work, but always worth it!
