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 🍰

Today I'm grateful for:
A long-running family joke that really made me laugh... An easy dinner to cook, because DH really fancied homemade Scotch Eggs and chips instead of the usual Sunday roast... The DC being really quite frankly alarmingly biddable this evening. I'll make Scotch Eggs again soon, I think..!

Ooh an easy dinner is always nice! Today I'm grateful to have a husband that is doing wayyy more cleaning/ tidying/ diy around the house because I'm full of cold and feeling rubbish. And he's doing it all without me having to ask for a change 😂🥰

BunnytheElephant · 12/02/2020 22:23

@HelpMeDrRanj My DH has been a bit better with the housework too!

I’m grateful for a job I enjoy and that pays well, for some lovely colleagues and for some people unexpectedly showing me support at a difficult time.

I have lost track of this but think it would do some good to start it up again

Today I am grateful for:

1 my family
2 my DH
3 a nice dinner and pudding

SomeBunnyovertheRainbow · 05/06/2020 16:25

Hey @SomeBunnyovertheRainbow

Today I am grateful for:

  1. My DH giving me the opportunity to go for a walk and listen to a podcast in the middle of the day today
  2. A lovely cuddle and chat with my DD at bedtime
  3. A nice glass of wine with my tea!

Love this thread so much 💚 Thank you @BunnytheBlueWhale for starting it.

I am mid MMC but still so grateful for:

  1. Strong women (both IRL and on MM)
  2. Coffee and salted caramel brownie
  3. A quiet afternoon with a book
SomeBunnyovertheRainbow · 07/06/2020 08:31

Hey @marmitecheesetoast and @VenusStarr
@Poppypip

I meant to post last night:

1 A relaxed Saturday at home. I worked hard (painting) but DH and I had a nice day not worrying about work or anything (think we are both a tad stressed with work) 💕
2 A lovely bath before bed 🛁
3 TV - watching Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and I find that sort of TV a wonderful distraction! 📺

marmitecheesetoast · 07/06/2020 09:03

Sounds like a good day @SomeBunnyovertheRainbow

I meant to post last night too:

  1. A walk with DD where we somehow managed to time to avoid the rain showers and even have a little sunshine
  2. Watching DD’s joy at jumping in the puddles for the first time in ages
  3. Trying out my newly purchased cocktail shaker to make a yummy cocktail last night!
SomeBunnyovertheRainbow · 07/06/2020 22:09

Thanks @marmitecheesetoast Yours too
Today I’m grateful for:

  1. Another lovely relaxed day so overall a great weekend
  2. A long walk with DH which has given me some much needed exercise and was nice to spend some time together outside of the house
  3. A lovely dinner that DH cooked for me (steak and chips with salad)
marmitecheesetoast · 07/06/2020 22:32

Ooh lush @SomeBunnyovertheRainbow, steak, chips and salad one of my favourite meals!

Today I’m grateful for:

  1. A socially distant walk with a lovely supportive friend this evening to have a good chat about everything
  2. Tea cooked by another lovely friend who dropped round a load of home cooked freezer meals for us a few weeks ago.
  3. DH and DD baking together which meant I got a bit of time to myself, and there were yummy treats to eat this afternoon!
SomeBunnyOvertheRainbow · 10/06/2020 14:14

It’s lovely you have a friend to talk to @marmitecheesetoast I don’t know the last time I saw one of my friends!

  1. A good night’s sleep
  2. A relaxed day in the house alone yesterday and again today as DH again in the office (he is trying to give up smoking to help with TTC and is a bit grumpy!)
  3. TV - it’s my escapism after long, busy days working
SomeBunnyOvertheRainbow · 11/06/2020 23:05
  1. A productive day of work 👩🏻‍💻
  2. A nice dinner cooked for me by DH 🍽
  3. The bubble bath I’m running now to get me read for some sleep bath 🛁
DisgraceToTheYChromosome · 12/06/2020 01:04

Clean bedding, the village chippy, and a video kiss from DGS.

VenusStarr · 22/06/2020 18:22

Today I'm grateful for

  1. Greenspace behind my house so had a lovely walk after work
  2. My plants planted from seed are flourishing
  3. My cats making me laugh 😸
hotstepper4 · 22/06/2020 18:43

I'm grateful that lockdown has enabled me to spend a ton of time with my nearly 10yo ds and were much closer as a result

AliceinBunnyland · 22/07/2020 14:24

I am grateful for:

  1. A day off tomorrow.
  2. A nice lunch (I had some left over pie and veg)
  3. New friends.
whysotriggered · 18/10/2020 12:05

I used to do this and lost my way so I'm back and today I'm grateful for:

  • My dd having a good week at school
  • Having good health
  • Knowing I am not alone
