I am 69 years young, and hope to have many more.

We have just celebrated Mothers Day, I have four adult daughters, all married. It's been hard not seeing them over the past few months, but through texting and Facetime we have kept in touch. It has made me realise how lucky I am to have them all living reasonably close in the same State, how hard must it be for those whose families live interstate or overseas.

I am thankful for the technology we have today to keep us informed of each days events, although sometimes I need to turn the TV off the news for a lighter more entertaining programme.

My knitting and craft have kept me busy, but as usual we still have the everyday chores to do as well. My knitting group keep in touch everyday and check up with each other and send encouraging messages and photos of what we have been working on.

My husband is an Amateur Radio operator and has set up a Morning Coffee Net each day to check in with his radio club mates and any other amateurs who might be on air to check they are ok.

Today is more thought provoking, looking back on family photos and thinking how I should put them in an album. Looking at unfinished projects, and starting new ones, like remodelling my pantry.

I haven't particularly found it hard staying at home, but do miss everyone. I am thankful for all the government officials, hospital staff for their work for all those in need. What is to come we do not know, but we need to keep hopeful for a better future, even better than before.
