Gratitude thread

[BunnytheBlueWhale]

I’m upset about some things but I have lots to be grateful for and want to try to acknowledge that more.

Today I’m grateful that I’m meeting a good friend for a nice lunch! I’m also grateful for my health and my family, DH and friends but trying to find something specific to today!

If anyone else wants to share then please do 🍰

@Bunny

I agree. If I had my health. My life would literally be perfect. Absolutely perfect. I know people have that when you say it. But I honestly do feel so lucky. I grew up homeless without food some weeks when I was a child.

I think as long as I have a roof over my head. Food in my fridge. I’m blessed.

There’s a wonderful saying.

The more you wish for. The less you be satisfied. It’s so true. If you wish for more money. You’ll never be rich enough etc...

Ahh Herringbone and BunnytheBlueWhale. Those are really difficult things to deal with. I'm so sorry. What brilliant attitudes you both have to life.

Thank you @SleepDeprivedElf you’re very kind

Thank you for my children at uni keeping in contact.
Thankfully I can still offer support and ideas to them.
Thank you for my elderly, fiesty mum.
Thank you for my good friends.
Thank you for getting some jobs in the house planned in at last.
Thank you for the daffodils.
Thank you for Jurgen Klopp.
Thank you for my new lovely pottery bumble bee butter dish.
Thank you for living now and not in Elizabethan times as am going to the dentist tomorrow!

Hope the dentist was ok! @Hepsibar

Grateful I’m able to work from home today as it allows me to not have to get up so early and put some laundry on

I’m grateful that I found the second car key that I put away for safekeeping months ago!

I’m grateful for on demand Tv! 😂

I'm grateful to have had some money to spend in the sales today. I got some bargain wellies for the 1yo and it was so funny watching him waddling around in them! I picked a new veggie cookbook full of healthy dinners that I'm excited about cooking.

I’m grateful for the lovely dinner I just cooked for myself, the lovely burger I had for lunch (Byron) and for having a free weekend to relax

That my family are happy and healthy. I can't ask for more.

So true @ColourMyDreams

(1) I’m grateful for a relaxed weekend, (2) finding a few things that I love and will get pleasure from using (still have things in boxes in garage since moving and there were a couple of things I wanted) and (3) for a nice warm house in the cold weather

Just realised this is not the first time this week I was grateful for finding something (things I haven’t seen for 6 months +) - I’ve found 3 things in the last few days (4 if you count the charger for one of them)

Today I’m grateful to have the house to myself for a few hours but also to have a lovely DH who should he home early evening. I’m grateful for the lovely breakfast I had and that it’s still the weekend!

I’m grateful that i can go home now and relax as I’m exhausted. I’m grateful I’ve had a busy day so not had time to focus on things that might stress me out. I’m grateful I have nice food waiting for me when I get home.

Back from a long trip and grateful for home and the quiet day to day.

I had two subarachnoid hemorrhages last week. I'm alive with no side effects other than horrendous head pain. That should subside soon.

I feel like I've won the lottery.

Oh gosh! @Chucklecheeks01 glad you’re ok

Goodness Chucklecheeks, how terrifying, I'm so glad you're okay.

I'm grateful for a very funny game of musical statues with the kids this afternoon.

Didnt manage to post yesterday! I had a not great morning and then got home late BUT do have lots to be grateful for. I’m grateful I had a nice meal with a lovely friend last night who is also getting married so I have her hen do and wedding to look forward to! I’m grateful that I got compliments on my new dress. I’m grateful that there is food in the fridge for when I get home...

Also grateful for my life and health and family

I'm grateful for my lovely dog who knew I was feeling down and came and jumped up next to me and nuzzled her beautiful head next to my face. Pure love.

Awww I think our animals do know @crestedrobin

Grateful to have such an awesome childminder. My wee kiddo carried his lunch bag to the front door ready to go and play with his friends today- he couldn't wait to go.

It relieves so much guilt about putting him in childcare. She's so flexible I wouldn't have been able to keep a job without her help these last couple of years. And so self effacing- she's mortified if I even say thank you.

That sounds like a lovely evening, Bunny.

Yay for your lovely doggy friend, CrestedRobin.

She sounds lovely! @SleepDeprivedElf

A nice, hot lunch

I'm grateful that it didn't rain today so we went for a lovely walk by a river. The kids were a bit feral this morning and the walk used up a lot of that pent up energy 😅

We then visited the in laws and they helped brainstorm some ideas for how to improve our house (it needs a fair amount of work!) so I'm also grateful that I have lovely in laws - from reading threads on here I know I'm one of the lucky ones!

I’m grateful for:
my parents
a quiet weekend
my husband has been quite lovely this weekend
