What little things are you thankful for?

[doodahdayy]

Since I've been on my maternity leave I've been thinking about this more often. I look forward to and savour my coffee every day and feel thankful I can afford it. Having time to do school pick up and enjoy the sunshine. I think when I was working it's easy to let life pass by.

That we don't live in the USA.

Im grateful there's nice walks around where I live. Its lovely to get out sometimes and just walk.

Bees.

listening to the birds singing ,seeing the new daffodils blooming and the weather changing giving us some sun.

Moving into spring. More daylight and a bit of warmth in the sun.

My health and that of my family
Peace of mind now, money-wise
That my kids are ok

^ actually, they're all the really big things!

A little thing - that my geriatric cat is staying well and enjoying this beautiful sunshine

Our good health, good fortune and like @LSGXX said, my cat enjoying the sun today after having to be kept in for nearly six months after an injury that needed surgery x

My washing machine & dishwasher
The sun shining
First flowers of spring
My mum has taken my kids out while I am poorly
My house (it's a bit messy right now but I still love it)

I find the easiest way to be thankful for something is to imagine my life without it!

My health.

My (accidental) pet hare. I can honestly say he has brightened my whole world up, he is such a snuggly little thing and makes a generally shit time more bearable, especially when he sits on me, stares into my eyes asking for demanding treats.

@Objectionhearsayspeculation that's so lovely!

Wow, where do you live and how did he become a pet?

@ymemanresu his Mum and sibling fell victim to barley machinery and my youngest DD spotted him as a tiny leveret (although she thought he was a rabbit) he was about the size of a golf ball. She brought him up and handed him to me to keep alive. I quickly realised he was a leveret and would be unlikely to survive but we'd try to rear him then release when he was on solids, most of the few leverets who do survive don't like people or indoors and want out as soon as they a good weight.
Argyll on the other hand quickly decided I was his person and he loved me with the devotion (or more so) of a dog. He not only took his bottles but snuggled, then when on solids would only hand feed not from a dish and not from anyone else in the house (he now accepts treats from dd1 and carrot tops from DH occasionally but not from dd2 ever, they are not good friends!). He followed me around and when in his playpen his eyes were never off me, he learned his name and my dds called me "Mama Hare" and when anyone said/says "where's mama hare?" he will come to me. He went out in his playpen a few times but hated it outside and then we got a scare with a mink on the windowsill outside which terrified him (and us!) and since then he refuses point blank to entertain outside. He instead lies on the back of the sofa or his wee beds on the windowsill where the neighbours and Amazon man wave at him, he likes watching tv at night and is obsessed with Viking and pirates. He is surprisingly vocal, much more than any rabbits we ever had he clicks, honks, squeaks, grunts, purrs and hiccups really loudly and his binkys are so high it's comical.
He gave up any pretense of being anything but free roam around 6 months and now has a cage beside my end of the sofa which I never close as a bed and the roam of all downstairs (cats stay upstairs), apart from a love of wall eating and jumping on DH from above when he falls asleep in front of the tv he is very well behaved and fully litter trained.

That I live in a beautiful place (all the more beautiful in the sunshine today!).
