I get Ruth Soukup‘s weekly emails, and this week she shared about a game she plays with her family, which involves them all sharing a high, a low and something interesting from their day. It was good to hear a different way of taking time to soak in the gift that each day is, so…

Where I reflect on the good things in the past week
Small Things
This week has flown by. Here are some of the Small Things that I’m feeling thankful for this week: *Getting delivery of my new shoes. I have needed a new pair for a while and was waiting to save the money to buy some from Toms. If you haven’t heard of them, they are a…
Small Things
It’s so important to notice the small things – because small graces are everywhere, whatever you are going through, and they are part of the richness and fullness of a life well lived. It is, of course, easier said than done to habitually notice life’s gifts, especially when you feel like life’s not going your…
Life Lately
For those who are interested, here’s a little round up of the goings on here in sunny Devon over the last few weeks… I’ve been: Browsing lots of blogs I haven’t visited in a while. I love all the recent posts at Tomboy Style and Joy Felicity Jane. Even though I’m not a mum, I…
Small Things
Having school holidays makes me appreciate my job even more, and this is my first of two weeks off for the Easter break. If I’m honest, I’m miffed the weather is not better, but I am having a great time and there is a lot to be thankful for! This week’s Small Things include… *Daffodils…
Small Things
Another week has flown by, and the moments spent savouring the Small Things have remained as all-important as ever to me. Here are some of them… *Weekend pancakes and coffee. *Weekend baking. *Quiet evenings reading and watching TV. *Hanging out with my church group, who so make me laugh and always ask how I am. *Looking…
Small Things
Since I’ve been working I’ve been finding it really hard to get any quality writing time in, but I’m still here. At the moment each day is different. I’m seeing a lot of other people’s struggles and it can be hard not to be overwhelmed by that, but I’m here and I’m still trying to…
Holiday Small Things
This week has been a mini holiday for us, so it has been filled with Small Things to make us grateful. Here are a few of them: Going out for coffee with Andrew: we don’t do it nearly enough! We found a sweet little coffee shop in Dorking where they served us little bits of…
Small Things
It’s holiday time 🙂 Andrew and I share the same birthday week so we often book it off work. In the past we’ve been away for a bit and last year we celebrated with a great charity event run with the help of my youth group. This year, we’re off to see my Grandma later in…
Life Lately/Small Things
This week was my first week in my new job, and has been full of other goings on too, hence the lack of posts. I hope to get back to more regular posting as I settle in, so thank you for your patience with me 🙂 In the meantime, here are some of the Small…
How to Savour Winter not Suffer it
Winter is my least favourite season. I really struggle with the cold weather and the dark mornings and evenings (and quite often in England, afternoons too!). It can feel like a time to just shut down or hibernate, or just to ‘get through’. Lately though, I’ve been making lots of resolutions to be grateful and…
Life Lately/Writing in Pencil/Small Things
The last few weeks have been full of uncertainty in terms of my future, which I think, on balance, has been good for me. I’m getting stuck in to the process of exploring what I might do, taking initiative and being proactive, whilst accepting that anything could happen. I’m reading a great book at the…
