When I wrote on Tuesday that I had a couple of big days at the office ahead of me, I didn't actually realise just how big, big was. Sitting here now, late on Thursday night, I don't think my head has still fully comprehended just how big the past two days have been.
I am so thankful they have been as wonderful as they have been as well.
Kenny Rogers is gently crooning in the background. His voice soothes my soul in a way words can never explain. Though tonight the music has a duel purpose, help my buzzing brain find clarity and block out the constant droning buzz created by the various night bugs that inhabit my home and garden.
I am so thankful that last year I had the chance to see Kenny sing live.
Now Kim Carnes has joined Kenny for a duet and I am instantly transported back to my childhood. Waltzing around the lounge room, duster in hand. Banks of metal louvers apparently in need of a good once over.
My mother was a domestic goddess and some how managed to convince my brother and I that playing records and wiping windows was fun. Interestingly enough my sister never seemed to fall too much for this.
I am so thankful for my wonderful family.
Family truly is an amazing thing. The last few days I have been watching the power of love that is created by family. Hearing Samuel Johnson talk about his sister Connie is proof of that. As is his quest to spread breast cancer awareness across the country. And when I say across the country I mean in the most literal possible way.
I am thankful that I got the opportunity to share some of their time in Darwin.
Particularly because it meant I got the chance to take photos of these family members.
