Weekly Bird in the hand

That time again for my weekly bird in the hand - the things I am grateful for this week:

• Last Sunday was Mothering Sunday in the UK so my Mum has to top this week's list! Thanks Mum for who you are.
• Movies that make me cry! This weekend it is the Sonoma International Film Festival so I'm watching lots of movies - not all of which will make me cry. But I do so love being moved by a movie!
• A dog who wakes me up so excited just because a new day is starting! It's quite contagious.
• My friend C who's birthday it is today - Happy Birthday Sweetie!
• My cousin C who's birthday it is today - Happy Birthday Sweetie!
• My friend D for whom today is a really difficult day as his daughter died on this day a few years ago.
• My nephew M for getting into both schools he wanted to get into for his A'levels, and also for being rugby captain when his team won the cup.
• My nephew P for getting his rugby stripes after being captain of his team.

Hope your week has been fun.
