Amazing Blessings

I am on stress leave this week.  The eventful year we have had finally got on top of me and I am worn out.  Exhausted. Done In.  I know one week can't fix things but it can give me space to get perspective.  I need perspective.  Being on one income means our money is pretty much all accounted for so I was going in to this week planning things that don't cost a lot to do but are still relaxing and pampering.  So imagine my surprise when sitting in a random hair cutting place waiting for a $20 trim, and this lady walks up to me and asks if I would be a model for their trainee beauticians!  3 hours of pampering and I am now sporting eye lash extensions worth $110!!! 





They are a little out-there but I do feel glamorous!  I wonder if Kev will notice?  I won't be offended if he doesn't (I'm not like that) but it will be fun to see how long it takes him.  Hehe. 

The other blessing for us at the end of last week was the gift of a holiday - anywhere we wanted to go, to the value of $1000!  Thanks Salvation Army!  we have chosen Hanmer Springs - luxury accomodation, petrol, food, pool entries and massages all paid for - bliss!!!  Just got to find the time to go but we can possibly go this weekend with me sporting my luscious lashes and all.    

So even in times of hardship, blessing is abundant.

Have a blessed Monday.
