Day 24 “You don’t have to feel like a waste of space. You’re original, cannot be replaced If you only knew what the future holds, After a hurricane comes a rainbow. Maybe you’re reason why all the doors are closed, So you could open one that leads you to the perfect road. Like a lightning bolt, your heart will blow And when it’s time, you’ll know You just gotta ignite the light and let it shine.” - Katy Perry Firework I’m grateful for messages in music. Funnily enough it’s not always the message the artist plans to convey, sometimes it’s just a matter of interpretation. This particular song serenaded my heart at a time it was distanced from hope and healed a hurting part of my soul! Day 24 “You don’t have to feel like a waste of space.

Day 22 Soft clouds of white, a delicate sight; meadows of green with tree’s in between. Drops of Dew, many more then a few. Beauty is the Day, Lovely is the Night and Exquisite is the Morning. He sits there all alone but has so much wisdom to share. To the eye he is frail; however he is deep and wise. His foundations are strong and he has weathered the storms. He is looked past often, but it worries him not because this morning he was my sunshine. His leaves of green and branches of brown glistened in the morning fog like a shining crown.

Day 23 I love the moment when you see the sun rise over the horizon! It’s a chance to start all over again, to dream even bigger then before. This may be cheating but this is actually a photo i took about a year ago at the end of Schoolies week on the Gold Coast. I was a red frog and my team sat on the beach on the last day and watched the sunrise over the ocean. It was an amazing moment - sitting with young men and women who were at the beginning of a new journey, shedding the cocoon of a school kid and stepping into the unknown of being an adult. I am grateful that everyday brings with new chances and opportunities. One life, is all we have! Day 23 I love the moment when you see the sun rise over the horizon!

Day 21 I put significant thought into today’s photo. For the last week, everyday i have grown profoundly grateful for water. Did you know that - 884 million people lack access to safe water supplies; approximately one in eight people. & that 3.575 million people die each year from water-related disease.Those figures consume my mind, I feel so ashamed for taking something so precious for granted. I can’t even imagine, I try and i fail. I tracked my movements today to add to my perspective. When i woke up i went to the bathroom - it required water. I then washed my hands - it required water. I had a shower - it required water. I ate my breakfast accompanied by a glass of water. I put on a load a laundry - it required water. I mopped the kitchen floor - it required water. It’s now 11am and i have taken water for granted 6 times. My heart is shot, my mind is blown. I clothe myself in riches while they are in rags. I put my diamonds on while they stumble in the dirt. I drink my water while they walk… and walk… and walk… to wade through rivers of waste. I am grateful today for the life i so easily forget to be grateful for.

Day 20 “Art is beauty, the perpetual invention of detail, the choice of words, the exquisite care of execution.” Theophile Gautier When i saw this spider’s web, my breath was taken away momentarily. It is so intricate and beautiful. My first thought was that it sparkled like diamonds whilst saturated in the morning dew. Thoughts about thinking begun to penetrate my heart. I was dazed dreaming about details. Our lives, our relationships, our occupations; they all form around details. Where you live, Who you are, What you are capable of, Where you want to go, Who you want to be. Details. Fleetingly i admired that spider’s diligence, and grew so grateful for the weaves of perfection and steps of beauty. If a spider is capable of producing something so tremendous, then let your mind escape and imagine what you are capable of. Unthinkable Possibilities!

Day 19 Someone once said that “Too many people overvalue what they are not and undervalue what they are.” When i took this photo, i wanted my post to reflect achievement. I wanted it to tell a story of commitment, power and success but instead it indulged me in something far deeper. The person in this photo is the oldest of my brothers. He’s a son, a brother, a partner and a father; he is strong, he is brave, he is powerful and a fighter. I’ve seen him struggle through the storms and sail in the sunshine - he never gives up. I am grateful for his courage and for all he imparts to my world. By now, he must certainly be treasure, refined through the ruins.

Day 18 There is something captivating about children. They fear little, love unconditionally and live in a place where everything is beautiful. Children are oblivious to the short comings of mankind; they’re hearts are pure and thoughts without blemish. In a world where we are each searching for an example; it is my thought that we look to the ones much younger then ourselves. Our knowledge may outweigh theirs but their love will outweigh ours. I am Grateful for my Niece and Nephews, they warm my soul like hot chocolate on a winters morning and enlighten my heart like a ray of sunshine beaming through a sky of blue. They remind me that the insignificant is significant! Day 18 There is something captivating about children. They fear little, love unconditionally and live in a place where everything is beautiful.

Day 17 After the event has ended, the picture will still exist. – Susan Sontag My camera in many ways saved me. It saved a part of my soul that i had given up on; it allows me to tell a story that i otherwise could not voice or express. Photography has become a part of my being; i see it, feel it and love it! The sound of the shutter release brings me to life, it awakens parts of me that i never knew existed. There is something powerful about the opportunity of capturing a moment that will never be lived again. Glimpsing through a lens and pausing time, it’s exhilarating and beautiful. I am Grateful for every second i capture and that captivates me. Day 17 After the event has ended, the picture will still exist. – Susan Sontag My camera in many ways saved me.

Day 16 “I wait for the LORD, my whole being waits, and in his word I put my hope.” Psalm 130:5 When i reach the end of my knowledge or my questions quest too far. When i reach my limit of understanding or I cannot triumph over my challenges; he holds the answers. I am Grateful that wherever my path leads or the direction i walk, wisdom is waiting to be read. I am endlessly overwhelmed that in times of trouble i can petition my king and seek guidance, feel love and be set free. When the world beneath my feet is crumbling, i rejoice knowing that ‘his’ word is my foundation and the rock i stand upon.

Day 15 Money. Someone once said that “Time is more valuable than money. You can get more money, but you cannot get more time.” I am grateful for money but am further grateful that i was raised with little of it. My mum has always been a provider but she was a single parent raising four children; an abundance of money was a rarity if an occurrence at all. I am grateful for how far she made so little stretch. I am grateful for the years she worked hard to ensure provision for her family. I am grateful for the appreciation i grew and hold for money due to our circumstances. I am grateful for the financial stability i now have. Above all of that though i am Grateful that i learnt money is not the most important variable of life! Day 15 Money.

Day 14 “This is your life, are you who you want to be?” - Switchfoot On days that flowers are glooming rather then blooming, and the dreams of the past lay silent, Switchfoot are the sound my heart longs to hear. Every time their melodies meet my mind, i grow inspired for the opportunities big and small i find myself given. Last year alongside Brenton, Miles & Kristy I was treated to Switchfoot Live at the HighFi Bar. Other then my wedding day, it was the highlight of my year. At the time i was about a month into my sickness and i could feel my soul slipping into the depths of despair. That Autumn night though, my aching spirit came alive. I am grateful that Switchfoot wrote those lyrics, recorded those records and played that Gig. They are amazing and i believe in them and the story they leave for the world to read.

Day 13 Last Christmas i gave each of my family members a Graphic Design Piece that represented our family. Accompanying it were these words: Hold Close the Memories of the Past. Anticipate the Moments of the Future. Celebrate the Blessings of the Present & Be Assured that you have a Home in the Heart of your Family. I am grateful for the intelligent, creative, loving and quirky family i share my days with. Everyday they teach me to be myself, they encourage me to dream and they inspire me to believe.  I once read that family is God’s way of equipping you to understand and appreciate types of people you normally wouldn’t. Observing mine, i find this to be true! I have grown to acknowledge and respect our differences, and sit in awe, as somehow we all fit together.

Day 12 This ornament graces the front door of our home. It’s true meaning, I’ve no clue, but every time my eyes get a glimpse of it, my romantic side gushes a breath. It reminds me of the times (that i wasn’t born to see) when women curtsied and men opened car doors. I often find myself swinging at the park, breathing in the air, remembering my childhood and dreaming about the future. There is a couple who live across the road, my guess would be that they are in their 70’s. One cold winter’s morning i watched through the fog and sat with a smile as the man escorted his wife down the stairs and across the road to the bus stop. He kissed her on the cheek, told her she was beautiful and repeated twice that he was the luckiest man alive. He crossed back to his home, walked up his stairs and stood proudly on his balcony watching his bride and waving. For 25 minutes. Until the very moment her bus arrived he waited with a smile on his face and love in his eyes. I am grateful that i witnessed that couple’s love and that chivalry and romance still has a heartbeat.

Day 11 I close my eyes and take a breath. In that moment i remember it is you who is my comforter and the hands who hold my journey. You have already planned my steps and paved my future, with my heart set on yours i choose not to fear. In uncertainty i grip to your promises and repeat that you are deeper then the seas, higher then the skies and brighter then the stars. When was the last time you gazed into the night sky and saw staring back at you an eternity of flickering specks. There is a story deep in the heart of the darkness, it’s one of courage, beauty, battle and victory. They are a reminder of Hope, that even when your world falls dim something or someone will be there lighting your path and holding your heart. I am grateful that in the busyness of life I had the time to stop and stare into the abundant universe above me. Day 11 I close my eyes and take a breath.

Day 10 George Washington once said “Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence. True friendship is a plant of slow growth, and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation.” I have learnt in recent years that Friendship is one of the most important pieces of life’s puzzle. I’ve stood on mountain tops and stumbled through valley’s, occasionally supported but frequently alone. Experience has edified that not everyone offering friendship is worthy of the depths of your heart or the profundity of your mind. Through many impostors one shone bright. When i got sick my lifestyle was restricted. Countless people i was counting on didn’t understand, i felt deserted. I shared my fears, my frustrations and the fantastic with my friend Bec. Leading up to the day i married my love, Bec and I talked about the story of 1000 Paper Cranes and the legend that it healed the sick (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thousand_origami_cranes). She went on to make a string a multicolored cranes each holding a written prayer of healing, blessing and love inside. It was hung in our reception above where we sat and now lives upon our bedhead. She is a friend worthy of my depths, worthy of my faults and worthy of my time. I am so grateful she was there to walk with me through the valley to the mountain top. Words cannot express my gratitude. Day 10 George Washington once said “Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence.

I’ve stood on mountain tops and stumbled through valley’s, occasionally supported but frequently alone. Experience has edified that not everyone offering friendship is worthy of the depths of your heart or the profundity of your mind. Through many impostors one shone bright. When i got sick my lifestyle was restricted. Countless people i was counting on didn’t understand, i felt deserted. I shared my fears, my frustrations and the fantastic with my friend Bec. Leading up to the day i married my love, Bec and I talked about the story of 1000 Paper Cranes and the legend that it healed the sick (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thousand_origami_cranes). She went on to make a string a multicolored cranes each holding a written prayer of healing, blessing and love inside. It was hung in our reception above where we sat and now lives upon our bedhead. She is a friend worthy of my depths, worthy of my faults and worthy of my time. I am so grateful she was there to walk with me through the valley to the mountain top. Words cannot express my gratitude.
