Moments you feel profoundly grateful?

[MrsCremuel]

I’ve have these from time to time but am trying to focus on the positives recently to help with my anxiety and depression. Sounds very glib.

Today’s: We have a flat tire and we’re away visiting family about five hours from home. I’ve driven to a garage and I’m waiting to get the tire replaced. I don’t have to worry about the expense and am remembering when something like this would happen as a child and my mum would be absolutely wracked with worry because she couldn’t afford to replace stuff that went wrong in the house or the car because we were so skint. Feeling profoundly grateful that I don’t have those sorts of stresses in my life as an adult I’m relieved that my children don’t either.

Please share yours! Unusually I am riding on a wave of positivity today .

I have a 2008 Ford Fusion and live in an estate of shiny, top of the rand cars.
When I driving to work, I am so happy to be warm and dry in my comfy, old sardine can of a car.

I walked just a couple minutes round the corner to be given, for free, a vaccine that didn’t exist a year ago, that is amazingly high efficacy and that hundreds of thousands of people around the world are dying and getting sick for the lack of. All it cost me was an hour and a very sore arm.

Same as cadbury. So happy and proud to live here (after a year in which I haven’t felt that way very much, let’s be honest). The volunteers, the NHS staff, seeing the Thames on my way in - it’s practically the 2012 olympic opening ceremony here .

More generally, being financially comfortable. When we need to buy something/replace something/make a decision, it’s mainly “What works for us? What do we want?” rather than “What will our budget stretch to?”. I feel very lucky.

Thos morning Im feeling prfoundly grateful for the wonderful man who brought me a cup of tea in bed and for my family who drive me bananas and fill me with joy.

I felt grateful this morning to be outside on a cold but sunny day, doing an outdoor HIIT class.

Exercise is really important to me & I've kept up my classes online but I'm now hating them.

I was grateful today to share the experience with others, smile in solidarity, laugh a bit, and start my day positively.

I haven't been feeling well recently, I'm forcing myself to exercise as I know I miss it if I don't, and this morning was really worth it.

I was walking my puppy in the woods this morning and all the rain has just made everything so green and lush and gorgeous. I feel so lucky to have such beautiful places on my doorstep and even luckier to have my happy, bouncy puppy to enjoy it with.

For having a roof over my head, for not worrying about money, for a wonderful husband and son, for still having both of my parents. I have been incredibly lucky in life so far. I am also wear it could all go away so easily.

I felt extremely greatful for our NHS a couple of times this year, the speed they got my concern investigated and all I had to do was sort a few hours off work, I'm also greatful for an amazing employer for taking that stress from me when I know my previous employer would not.
To be able to walk around the supermarket putting everything and anything I need or want in growing up this wouldn't have been an option.

I feel very grateful that my child and I live in such a calm household, having grown up in a house where I walked on eggshells never knowing what the mood was that day (fear/rage, mostly).

I have a gym membership which I sometimes have to justify to myself- but every time I go for a swim in their lovely pool I feel so grateful.

Recently saw a friend bereaved through cancer. Playing with her child who is so full of smiles. Grateful he is here and that she is strong and that I have the time and am close enough to help in a small way and that she has so many good friends of his who are coming out to help and who have rallied round. Also profoundly sad but he would not have wanted us to dwell on this.

I've just read the thread about bad neighbours. I am so grateful that my neighbours are considerate, and would never dream of behaving badly.
My OH has just brought me a cup of tea before he leaves for work. I am so grateful for him. I definitely don't tell him enough so am going to do it now!
