Apple juice, coffee and early morning stretches!

I am SO grateful for my husband Neil Matthew Jackson! He is the most patient, selfless and loving man I know! I am the worst non-morning person you'll ever meet! And at the moment... the tiredness from the whole year has caught up with me and I'm now even worse in the mornings! Certainly not a very nice person to be around! But Neil just knows how to handle me and even goes out of his way to help the waking up process go smoother for me. He brings me coffee in the mornings - or rooibos tea or apple juice. He says "Good morning" to me like a million times until I can eventually muster a hopelessly groggy "mornin". He helps me do stretches to get my blood flowing to my brain. (apparently that usually helps!) And he even googles for tips for non-morning people! :) Sometimes I don't think I deserve him - he's too kind... but then again - none of us deserve anything good that comes our way, but we get it anyway, because God just loves us and wants to bless us. So I guess I can't dispute or argue that one!

I'm still utterly useless in the mornings...but when I eventually wake up, it's to a beautiful, kind face staring back at me and that helps me to keep my chin up and feel ready to face the world another day.

Thank-you my Love!

PS: I am also grateful for my stunning friend - Sandi - who's birthday it is today! :)
