Feeling Thankful Friday : Thanksgiving edition!
The North American holiday of Thanksgiving is celebrated on Thursday next week, so it's quite timely for me to post a Feeling Thankful Friday post today. This morning I'm feeling an overwhelming sense of gratitude. Here are some things and people I'm thankful for when it comes to waking up and getting on with my wonderful days.
1. I'm thankful to live in a sharehouse with people who 'get' me. There's no pressure to be anything other than comfortable at home, and that's awesome.
2. I'm supremely thankful for the blog comments and emails I get from people who I have never met, but have somehow found their way to my itty-bitty blog, and who visit regularly. Your support means the world to me.
3. I'm thankful for the writing and blogging friends that I have made - this interwebby community of people who write for pleasure constantly amazes me.
4. I'm grateful for my close friends who receive emails, calls and texts from me at all hours just so that I can get some of the thoughts swirling in my head out!
5. I'm indebted to the wonderful English teachers who taught me at primary and high school and encouraged me to let everything out on paper. Particularly to my year 7 teacher who once told me I'd be doing the world a great disservice if I didn't write.
6. I'm grateful to a particular person who shall remain unnamed (yeah, sure, you can claim all the credit, Stellar!) who has encouraged me to truly be myself this year and to find comfort and strength within. I adore and treasure you. I'm always sending you so much love when we are apart.
7. And last but never least, I'm so appreciative of my Mumsy, who read to me from such a early age (I believe I was still in the womb when she first began reading to me!), and let me see her reading and writing and being passionate about literacy as I grew up.

Education is so important, coming from someone who deals with people who can barely read or write I can not stress that children should go to school!! And having wonderful teachers who encourage children to read, write and to express them selves makes the world of difference. Teachers do not get thanked enough!!
