03 Aug 26 I want to do an Appreciation post this week, mostly because these last few weeks have been brutal Energetically, and it is time to be grateful. 1) I am grateful for my son. He is an exceptional human. I love that he has taken my strengths of perseverance, courage, strong-minded-ness and focus-ness and made them his own, but bigger. And better. ** Disclaimer: Right up until that exact moment we disagree. Then those qualities become annoyingly stubborn, tunnel vision and smart-ass-y - and the red sea could be parted right in front of him and he would still not change his mind. Unless he was the one doing the parting. Super annoying in the moment, but teensy bit proud of him for that. 2) I love working with Spirit. Doing this work has been one of my greatest joys. People not so much. But to be fair, I fight for your success just as much as I do for my own - therefore, I have the right to be grumpy if you just sit back and do fuck all. But back to Spirit - I am truly grateful. Not all the time, granted. Sometimes we do not see eye to eye. And to be fair, I do get a bit humpy when things go flying off shelves, hitting my coffee mug, and generally causing chaos where none was needed. But it is a wild ride to know that if I am doing my best work, which I always am, then I am exactly where I should be right now. That brings a weird kind of peace. 3) My horses are an absolute gift from Spirit. We don't do any horsey things like shows or go riding or well, do anything but be. But there is not one of us that would want to be anywhere else in this world. 4) I love Pat the Rooster and his chooks. Well, technically they're mine, but you know, he's a Rooster, so in-real-life they're his. The chooks drive me nuts 'cause they love being herded, looked after, shoo-ed, bossed, and shagged by Pat the Rooster. Literally, he is the Boss for, and of, all of them, and for the life of me, I can't get my head around the chooks wanting this. But they do. They love him. So do I. He is literally the dude I didn't realize I needed. 5) I have the most amazing garden! Yes, I am fully aware I don't have the land for it to go into, nor a home if you are truly wanting to be pendantic (pain in the ass), but never-the-less, I still have the most awe inspiring garden. Every fruit tree you could imagine, exotic fruit, avocadoes, berries, as well as all normal garden variety fruits and vegetables. I've learnt how to propagate, and have made my first orange tree (!!) but am still waiting to see whether my golden kiwifruit are a win. I can't wait to get everything planted at home - I'm so excited! 6) I'm grateful for my friends. Enough said. Thank you. And last, but not least, 7) I'm glad I'm not stupid. Love always, T and Spirit, dino_the_dinosaur_kettle, and the tribe xx * I respect the Elders of the Land where I work, live, laugh, love and play - Past, Present and Future.
