What small things in life are you thankful for ? Anything at all.

[WildRosie]

Good drying weather;
Pork pies or pasties from the butcher;
Afternoon naps (a bad habit, I know);
Quality tea and coffee;
Time off from work;
Slow but steady piano progress;
Clean clothes and towels.

@takeabrolly I'm grateful that you just reminded me about the half pack of chocolate digestives in the cupboard which I'm now going to enjoy with coffee

DD snuggling up to watch a movie after days of teen moodiness

Cwtch is probably my favourite word in welsh. I grew up on the welsh borders and we use it there too.

I’m thankful for having lovely parkland nearby - during lockdown it’s become my place for exercise and seeing friends and getting out in nature.

Having blackberries in the garden (blackberry jam!)

A holiday to look forward to - not what we’d necessarily have planned or where we might have intended to go, but somewhere nice and a change of scenery.

A cat. Brandy. My house.

I'm warm, I'm safe, I have a roof, my kids are well.

An apple straight off the tree.

My freedom.

Not in that order

When both children are in bed and DH is at work, and the floors are swept and the dishwasher is on, and I sit down with a glass of wine in my comfy clothes and watch whatever I like on TV.

Ken Hom's chicken chow mein recipe with instant curry sauce from Farmfoods on top. It has no right to taste as nice as it does for the low calories.

When my son is making his baby sister laugh out loud. She giggles but he's the only one who can make her belly laugh like that.

The What We're Reading threads on Mumsnet. I've picked up so many fab book recommendations on there.

Podcasts.

Today, YouTube keeping youngest entertained (im floored with a bug atm). Hot tea and the fact it’s bedtime soon.

Usually I’ve more to be grateful for but I’m feeling shitty and just want to sleep.

Apart from dh and the dcs, my brilliant dolce gusto coffee machine a lovely mnetter dropped off at my door at the start of lockdown!!

Sunshine
Music
Good books
Biscuits.

Clean warm water for a shower every day. Feels so wonderful and rare for many.
A clean body of water to swim in.

Coffee and chocolate .

Sweet peas I’ve grown from seed
My dog, she’s such a happy soul
My kids saying thank you to ME for dinner or particular things I’ve done for them.

I love the company of my DH and dd.
Coffee.

I’ve akways been good at enjoying stuff. My mum always says that as a kid every ice cream was like my first and my last. It’s my super power.

The smell of fresh cut grass A nice cup of tea Bird song Cuddles from my 12 year old My husband How pleased my dog is to see me A full fridge Clean bed sheets Slippers

This list is pretty much everything on mine although I'll replace Slippers with Watching my 16yr old son playing football

The rose outside the kitchen window having a massive second bloom
Our local lovely bookshop delivering parcels
A good boardgame
My hand-knitted socks (gift)
A herbal tea
Blankets
The sunshine through the landing window

I could go on and on and on

Obv the family goes without saying!

I agree with nice drying weather!

My dogs
Being able to relax with a good book
Having nice neighbours

Crisp mornings

I love my job.
Obviously, my dog and family (in that order)
My new le creuset corkscrew which arrived today and was a total bargain.

Which reminds me, I'm also thankful for the Christmas bargain thread and all who join in.

Not all small things but this week I’ve been grateful for:

• DH earning enough for me to be a sahm
• mil tumour hasn’t spread
• start of autumn
• DD1 saying her first day or school was “absolutely epic”
• making chutney for the first time
• making apple and blackberry crumble and DD1 thanking me for making yummy food
• DD1 sneaking into bed with me and DD2 so I woke up sandwiched by children
• snog on the sofa with DH
• clean sheets
• getting back into a routine

Lots of TV programmes. Programmes like First Dates really make me feel uplifted and hopeful and I am thankful for that. I am also thankful that I chose the nearest secondary school over one further away for my DD after lots of deliberation now that there are restrictions for children travelling on the bus to school. I am thankful for my fluffy, warm bed socks that are very comforting. I am thankful that I re-discovered tennis after a break of 20 something years recently. I genuinely feel thankful for all kinds of small things all the time. It is the only way to live, especially at the moment.

Lovely thread! I’m lucky in that it never takes much to make me happy.
Seeing or preferably being in the sea
Spending time with my bunnies
DD11’s enthusiasm - really hope she never loses it!
The way DH makes me cry laughing
Sunshine
A cool breeze
Crisp clean sheets
Mon Wed & Fri when Corrie’s on!
Food!

My house in general - I feel so at home here

A fresh cup of coffee first thing without having to ask.
Clean sheets.
Being welcomed home.
Cuddles with the dogs.
Someone else doing domestic chores, especially unprompted.
Flowers or chocolates!
Kind surprises.
