Thanks to Katy - @grammynn
You can see 365 there on the lower left without which I would be a lady so lost!
Three good things:
1.The secret to a good sleep is peace within oneself.(gee, I talk a lot of rubbish) And, I have learnt, no carbohydrate in the last meal.
2. The wind got so furious here that they closed the Public Gardens which has high trees and lots of them! I got a good photo from there yesterday.
3. Got our road trip on to Google Maps which is shareable.
The chorus of 'Count your blessings' in Dutch:
Tel uw zegeningen, een voor een.
Tel ze alle en vergeet er geen.
Tel ze alle, noem ze een voor een.
En ge ziet Gods liefde dan door alles heen.
@julzmaioro Around the North Island, Julia - Lake Ferry to the tippy top and back down the west coast! So nice to be in NZ and not overseas doing something like this!
Love that you have given us a larger version of your small shits so we can get a proper look. Your blessings are simple & exactly pretty much what I would pick. Home, garden, hubby, cat, bike, books & 365. I would only add the kids & grandchildren to that I think, plus friends....simple things that cost nothing really....well except the house! I must remember your #1 GT because here I am up in the night but I have broken the rule & had a very large meal full of carbohydrates.
@happypat I would never dream of thinking that you would say shits - unless you were locked in the larder and all the contents fell upon your head!
The carbohydrate thing is as my DIL (Amy Neuzil) says:
The carbohydrate thing is as written by my daughter in law (Amy Neuzil) who is a Doctor of Naturopathy: "Carbohydrates stimulate cortisol production, especially when they are eaten right before bed. Eating a carb-heavy meal is likely to put you to sleep at first as your blood sugars rise, but when they quickly start to drop it can wake you up at night and prevent you from getting into deeper sleep stages. Make sure the last meal of your day is mostly proteins and not so many starches and sugars."
I think we would all echo those blessings. It is a wonderful collage and I must admit I fell in love with NZ when I visited it in 2010. Role on 2017 when I will be back for my god son's wedding
another trip? good for you! lovely collage, and yes, 365 is indeed one of our blessings. i'm thinking i'm about to hit 3000 photos, maybe i should quit, but..it's my happy place, why should i? :-) very nice collage.
@maggiemae Thanks for the information about sleep. I will try. Thanks for sharing the collage. Not being able to go out often I travel via 365 photos and that is something I count as a blessing. Thanks all!
There really is so much to be thankful for, and so often we just take our blessings for granted. Nicely put together collage, and I, like Francoise, also like the way you've got each blessing doubled.

Wish I could have heard your pronounciation. Dutch language is not very easy ;-)
