Thankful for small things

Small things and big thankfuls.

Yesterday I had to take my BAHA (hearing aid) into Darlinghurst for repair. I had a huge problem with the stupid %&$*#@ ticket machine at the train station. The short story - a boy about 17, dressed in the local High school uniform, came to my assistance and swapped his $1 coin for my change. My train was coming and I caught the train with 2 secs to spare.
This local HS has a poor reputation but the young guy's RAK was amazing.
Remind me to send the school a message about something GOOD !



Last week when my hubby went to the farm he noticed one of our eleven cows were missing.
This morning when he did a head count - still only ten.
Damn ! 
It meant cow number #12 (because #11 died after breaking her leg in the cattle crush) might be dead or with neighbours cows or gone ! It means possibly hours of searching too.
 
This afternoon a neighbour , from 1.5 kms down the road, drove up to say our missing heifer was on his property ...he could read our property name on the tag but not the phone number. A HUGE RELIEF !
Now we just have to work out how to get the cow back to our property.


It's good to be here at the farm. I am thankful .
There is so much stress in our life right now - I just feel a little bit calmer...
Tuesday's post is just not working !



 What are you thankful for ?

It's so good when you encounter a teenager that is polite and helpful, unfortunately they so often are not these days. I'm glad you found your cow and I hope things become less stressful soon xx

I'm so happy to read a teenage RAK story, there've been not nice things going on locally with kids from
our local high school. This is a nice reminder to not tar them all with the same brush :)

Glad your cow was found too, and hope your time at the farm serves to soothe your soul. xox

I'm glad it all worked out well. And do call the high school to give them a compliment. They get so many complaints that a nice comment just makes their day. (Any HS, that is, not just the specific one you are talking about.)

hi Mum-me - I will be calling the school Monday to tell them, we are in Dubbo so it's bit hard on mobile. I know the principal will like to hear a good story.

Glad the cow was found. I can only imagine the financial impact of losing one.

Definitely call the school, maybe they can find out who it was and give him some praise. Good on him!

It is financial impact I was worried about. I am calling the school Monday to tell them , not sure I'd recognise him again but he had a few other friends about. My son's GF and best friend attend the HS so they might know.

The first thing that you need to do is develop good saving skills. Sounds a lot like Cheap WoW Gold real life, huh ? If you learn how to save and PC Game Code you start saving early in the game, WoW Gold then it will be much easier on you when you need WoW Power Leveling to spend a lot on your epic mount. One of the WoW CD Key ways to help you with this is to get a bank buy Rift Gamecard toon.You might think that the mailing buy rift key fees will hurt you, but the bank toon will save cheap rift cd key you a lot of time so it will be worth it. It also helps rift cd key because you will not be as tempted to spend the Rift Gamecard money if you have forgotten that you even rift key have it.
