Gratitude (Childhood years: 1970 - 1980)

My family

• Having Jo in my life
• Having parents who loved us
• Having Gramps in my life to show me what extroversion and effusively expressing love felt like.
• My beautiful relationship with all my Grandparents
• Amazing food (mum, Granny and Gran all made delicious food)
• The joy of Xmas and Mum's generosity

Other beings

• The Cullys in our lives
• Having dogs in our lives (starting my life-long love of animals)

Our home

• The pool
• Our large garden
• Home in a peaceful, safe area
• The park down the road
• The Rondebosch field for walks

Life style

• Growing up in the sunshine of Cape Town with the beaches and mountain
• Our family holidays, especially Eight Bells

School

• Monte vista (to build my confidence), then St Georges (a wonderful, private school with small classes)
