in Thoughts Opinions & Memories
The wonderfully talented Sue Vincent over at The Daily Echo asked me to guest post for her… Here it is peeps!
I like having friends over – even when they have me blushing… My guest today is Ritu Bhathal-Padhaal – from But I Smile Anyway. Ritu is a writer and blogger and was voted into third place for Most Inspiring Blog at the Annual Bloggers Bash Awards. You can read some of her work on her blog… like the serialised Wedded Stress.Today, she talks about being a daughter… and a Mum.
The lovely Sue from the blog The Daily Echo invited me to write a guest post for her, and I was extremely honoured, and I have to say, a tad scared! If you are a regular reader of Sue’s blog, you know how amazingly she writes, and I don’t consider myself to have half the talent that she possesses!
Still, what to write about? I have to say, I was thinking, the other day on the…

*Share this image in your bog post
*Write about 5 people in your life you are thankful for
*Write about 5 things in 2015 that you are thankful for
*Spread the love and challenge 5 other blogs to take part
So here goes!
Five people I am thankful to have in my life…
Wow, this is quite hard, as there are so many people I feel thankful to have here in my life…
My Mum – my reason to become a hopefully good wife and mother. A woman who I have seen go through the ups and downs of life with dignity, and a true inspiration. Love you Mum! X
My Pops – my first hero. Isn’t a father always that? I feel thankful to have a dad like Pops, who has always put his family first, and taught me right from wrong, and how to cope with all manner of situations, in a calm manner. Love you Pops! X
My Hubby Dearest – I was indeed lucky to have met hubby when I did. He is truly the most wonderful person, and I see so much of my Pops in him. He loves me unconditionally, and I wouldn’t be anywhere without him. Love you Hubby Dearest!
My Lil Man – you came to us after such a journey. Not only am I thankful for having you in my life son, but I feel lucky that of all th twinkles in my eye, you were the one that came to us! Love you son! X
My Lil Princess – I am thankfu for my Lil Princess, you came and completed our family, after seeing two possible siblings leave mummy early, and go take their placin the sky, as stars. You are a little diva, but you are our little diva, and we wouldn’t t change you for anything…(though having you sleep through the night would be a good thing…!)
Five things in 2015 that I am thankful for
The continued support of my family – without them, I am nothing.
My friends – I don’t get to see my friends often… Life has made it hard, but no matter whether we are together physically or in spirit, they make my life easier to live.
My new job – it was earlier this year I was given the chance to finally take the step, and start teaching properly. I thank my Head for having the faith in me!
The chance to see my nephew – last year, I was made an aunt, a real one, for the first time, and I was aching to see my nephew. And finally, this year I got to see him, only for a few hours, but still… What an emotional time! And next week, still in 2015, I get a whole weekend with him! They live abroad, in Finland, you see, so I can’t just drive over to them…
My Blogily – I may have started this blog in 2014, but the real connections I made were cemented this year, and I come to the end of this year, with some new people who have gained a huge importance in my life. I am so thankful for the opportunity I have been given to read amazing writers work, and to write alongside them.
And now my Five (hopefully) Thankful Nominees!

Happy Thanksgiving to all those celebrating on the 12th October!
The Green Spiral

Round and round the garden
Like my Popsie bear
One spiral two spirals
Cutting grass everywhere!
A couple of weeks back I was in Birmingham with my Pops, my Lil Princess with me.
We arrived and were having a rest after a 3 hour drive, so Pops excused himself to mow the lawn.
It wasn’t until the next morning as I went to open the curtains that I glanced out and saw his mowing magnificence! A beautifully mowed spiral! I have been used to his precise straight lines on the large rectangular lawn we had at our old house, but this was the first time I saw his lawn artistry going outside the box!
Who knows what we might see next time!
