What are your glimmers this week?

[PoliteTurtle]

I’ve done one of these before and it was really lovely to read all of your glimmers 🩷

Glimmers are the opposite of triggers… what has made your week special? What small moments have brought you joy?

On my birthday earlier this week dd8 gave me a parcel with some of her toys and one of her cuddlies. I thought she’d have swiped them back by now but she hasn’t. Makes me feel lovely and warm inside thinking about how generous and kind she was 💕

do you have any this week op?

After 5 long years, my wisteria has flowered for the first time .

@Itsalwayssomething How sweet of her!🥰
My glimmer this week has been finally feeling the spring sun - it always makes me feel better about everything in general ☀️🌱🪻🌷

How beautiful!🩷

My rhododendrons are out! One at least. The clematis is looking glorious. And the garden is beginning to come into bloom in general.

My dd (5) told me I could pick tonights story book as her and her brother always get to pick their favourites and I never get to choose.
My eldest dd ( 24) has been promoted to supervisor at work and she got me a lovely candle and box of malteasers to thank me for helping her prepare for the interview.
My ds (4) drew a circle for the first time and proudly showed me and everyone on the bus!

Lovely thread ❤

After the worst year of my life, I think I might be going to be alright. Not there yet, but I can see a time where I might be. And that's something I didn't have a month ago.

I’m no gardener, so I had to Google them, what lovely colours! I wish I had a green thumb 🌱🩷

by the sounds of things, you’ve made some very kind and loving kiddos, well done you 🩷

I was able to walk the dog in shorts and trainers rather than coat, boots etc. the sun was shining and there was even a hint of warmth in the air! Oh and I didn’t have to clean any mud off the dog, floor and walls when we got home ☀️.

In the words of my husband (and matthew mcconaughey) “you just gotta keep living man… L. I. V. I. N…”
glad you can see some positives on the horizon 🩷

Warm enough to wear a sun dress here, and my turnips and radishes are starting to grow, when I thought they'd given up in the cold.

Woohoo! Me too this week 🤩

Seeing my oldest daughter so happy, confident and in love. 💕
Reflecting on how far she’s come and how proud I am. She’s leaving home for Uni in September and is about to embark on the next exciting chapter 🙂

You give me hope! I hope you enjoy it.
Mine has been all about the leaves again this year.
Maybe next....

Sitting in the garden after work with a cupmof tea for two days in a row☀️☀️☀️

That’s lovely, best of luck to her and well done you 🩷

Lovely 😎☀️

Seeing dd(4) running among the daisies and buttercups in the park this evening in the last of the sunlight.
seeing dd(8) SO excited to get her cubs uniform and start practicing her oath.

For the first time in forever, I went outside and felt... warm!

My ASD DD did her homework without a meltdown. Honestly, huge.

❤️

My ASD daughter has gone to school three days this week. Absolutely wild.

My 2 grandkittens are 2 weeks old today, their eyes are open and they are responding to my voice! My cat Spooky has been the best, most chilled mum ever.
When I changed their blanket on Tuesday, I found out I have one girl and one boy!
And today is weighing and worming day for them and also the day I can start to handle them regularly!
Nature is absolutely amazing and being with her all through her pregnancy and then watching them being born is something I never thought I'd be part of!
I smile every day since they arrived, but today especially!
What's your glimmer OP? ❤
