It’s been a rough week with my Bear injured in a car accident, me sick as can be with an awful flu, and caring for a very ill baby goat as the laundry piles higher and vacuuming goes undone.

It’s just been one of those weeks. πŸ™‚

But in the midst of the pain and the illness there has been so much goodness.

Like deliciously warm sunshine on chilly winter days. I can’t get over how beautiful Australian winters are.

And learning how to make artisan bread in a cast iron pot. I confess I was giddy with happiness over how beautifully it turned out.

Is there anything more comforting than slices of warm bread slathered in creamy butter?

I love looking over from my sickbed and seeing Luna (my dog) sleeping beside the baby goat, licking her gently. So sweet.

Having life go topsy-turvy now and then makes me so grateful for all the little good things in my life: essential oils that make the house smell good, hot cups of tea and buttery toast soldiers, episodes of “Who Do You Think You Are” to keep me entertained.

I feel pretty darn lucky.
