Today I am grateful for 'thank-you's'
I almost teared up when Spunky Monkey's prep teacher handed me a small gift yesterday. It was so unexpected. It was to say 'thank-you' for being a 'mummy helper' throughout the year. Honestly, I had been feeling a little guilty for not being more involved. However, it became obvious to me, that what seemed like a little bit to me was a lot to someone else.
So I will share this quote with you again:
"Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could only do little" - Edmund Burke
As I write, I am enjoying my gift. Tea in my new cup, that was filled with santa chocolates, and a handful of different teas.
Shhh.... don't tell anyone, but I'm also eating a santa chocolate too. I haven't even had breakfast yet.
I'd like to also welcome my newest follower, 'Maxabella loves', for who I am also grateful for:)
Go to her blog now to see what other people are grateful for today.
That's lovely. Love the quote too. Will have to remember that one. Have a great weekend. Oh, and Chocolate leading up to and including Christmas Day is meant to be eaten randomly at any time during the day! Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteOh how lovely - and I love the quote too. Beautifully written, hope you enjoyed your cuppa x
ReplyDeleteHow cute that you get a helper gift! We never feel as though we do enough but, as your quote says, every little bit helps. Enjoy your Santa! Chocolate Santas are guilt-free you know - it's in the Christmas handbook.
ReplyDeleteHelpers are so often the unsung heroes of the classroom I think. I'm so glad your efforts were acknowledged. Maxabella’s link up is one of my favourite parts of the weekend. Loved stopping by x
ReplyDeleteso nice!

Aw, thanks for noticing me following your blog and thanks for joining in! I'm so impressed that you got a little thank you from your class teacher - that's just so thoughtful.
ReplyDeleteYou're right - a thank you can really make the world go 'round!! x
So glad I stopped by. Such a cute blog! Someone was definitely grateful for your help this year. I too, often realise that a little help is worthwhile. Definitely better than none. I love Maxabella, and her weekly grateful is the highlight of my week. Happy Grateful Day. xx
