Daily Gratitudes 2017

[Lessstressedhemum]

A nice, gentle thread for us all to count our blessing, to pause, breathe and be thankful for all the wee, small things that go right in our days.

Everyone is welcome, no matter our personal beliefs or faiths.

Today, I am grateful for a new year and a fresh start and for time spent with my family.x

[Optimist1]

Family, health and the time to enjoy them both.

That our journey was safe and all ok at home on our return :)

A nice run this morning, the first of my marathon training runs.

Health, happiness and family.

Today I'm grateful that I have a day off work and got to spend some alone time with dd2, that I got a chance to do some decluttering and that I am able to pay for a little birthday party for dd2 on Sunday

A safe place to live, warmth & comfort on a very cold day.

Exactly what Lessstressed says - the simple necessities are the foundation for our wellbeing.

[oliversax]

Agreed and realising how lucky you are to have those simple necessities, taking time to appreciate it is the foundation for happiness. I know there can be a lot more to happiness or lack of happiness but it is a good start. It certainly helps me to feel good.

Lovely family & friends
Time to myself to run or to read
Good health

Still close relationship with my stepmother even though my father's been dead for several years.

The NHS, I know it's taking a battering at the moment but my experiences have always been positive. A service that is free at the point of use is a wonderful thing.
