Just so grateful

[Elbone]

I’ve already told my husband, brother and sister in law (who I’m spending Christmas with) but I’m just so grateful this year. I have three happy and healthy children, a beautiful home, close relationships with my brother and SIL, we had delicious food, played fun games, I got really beautiful and thoughtful gifts and I’m just so content. I need to let this out somewhere because I’m starting to get emotional because I just realised I have t watched any Christmas to and I have all that to catch up on. I don’t want to keep going on about it to them 😂 I think it will scare them.

What is going on with me? Is this what perimenopause does? I’m 38 this year and I’ve never felt so overwhelmed with gratitude.

That's so lovely, OP, I feel the same x

Merry Christmas!! I hope you have a wonderful 2025 xxx

This is so lovely to hear. I'm feeling the same this year, so content and grateful and just having the most wonderful Christmas. I'm also 38.

I'm grateful too. Sad that dad is really unwell in hospital, but the dc had sack fulls of presents, dp loved his presents, food was lovely, I have a fridge full of food, a porch full of alcohol, going to see dp's family tomorrow. Off work for another week.
I have a lot more than a lot of people and I am grateful.

I feel the same. We have a few people who have either lost loved ones far too early, or are having a very unhappy time at the moment, and have seen a couple of posts on here which have been quite heartbreaking, so have really been counting my blessings this year.
