However, on a little bit of a more superficial and domestic level, I am particularly thankful for the everyday things, that we don't have to ration food , petrol and clothing, as in the war. Maybe it is because my parents were born just before WWII and experienced rationing from an early age, and subsequently, I have adopted their "war mentality." I even have a "War Cabinet" chock-a-block full of food I have stock piled from sales...just in case.
And although I try to re-purpose and make do with alot of things, buying from op-shops and mending, growing my own veges, I am thankful that I can get new cheap underwear at anytime, and pop down to Spotlight for that special crafty must have, and that my family does not go hungry.
Well said. It's easy to forget that we are indeed very lucky.
