Ok, so I was nominated by fellow Helpienaut @maverickinvictus to do this wonderful 7 days of positivity challenge.

It's basically finding at least one thing to be grateful about each day and sharing it with you!
That's friggin' awesome and right up my alley!

TODAY! Tuesday 19th of June!
What am I thankful for?

Unconditional Love


When I became a father I finally understood what unconditional love was. Before the universe gifted me with my first daughter, unconditional love was just an ideology. Parenthood takes the concept of unconditional love from theoretical to a reality you feel in every cell of your being.

Heart Opening


There was a 16 year gap between my first and second child.
At first I was apprehensive about starting the father journey from square one all over again after so many years, but what an incredible heart reopening it has been for me.
I didn’t realise how much I needed it.
How much I needed her, but not just her, also my step-daughter too.

Rediscovering Innocence


Children give us permission to be childlike in wonder at the world. The reawaken our senses to re-seeing things that we’d long boxed into labels and lost their marvelousness.
If we allow ourselves, we can rediscover the greatest pleasure in the simplest things and feel the magic in life all over again.

And I am soon to have another baby girl in late August.
What an incredible blessing!
