LIGHTHEARTED

Ive seen this trend going around on social media, i find MN to be a bit negative at times so wanted to ask what people are grateful for or what makes you feel lucky. Can be anything from shallow to more serious.

Slim ankles 😭 I’m in the best shape of my life but don’t think I’ll ever get those.

I think ankles are just luck or genetics as I’m actually quite porky but have always had slim ankles 🤭

I have slim ankles but disproportionately fat calves! 😂😂 they look very odd together- don’t really change no matter how slim or fat I am!

I also very thick full dark arched brows in my mid 40s which survived years of over plucking over the 90s/00s, and lovely long dark eyelashes BUT the downside is having very hairy legs, lady garden, moustache & chin beard etc. I even have hairy toes & nipples 😂😂🦍

I have a really easy toddler. He's cheerful, compliant and loves to help.

He had a rare bad day today, and my mum friends were positively gleeful that I was getting tantrums for once.

Recovery and healing of my mental health after a family catastrophe took it away. It has been very hard won and in no small part to my fabulous husband and children. Xxx

I’m married to the kindest, most generous, loving man who is also an incredible lover. Everyone in my circle moans about their dhs as a form of bonding, and it never feels quite right to sing his praises.
