What are you grateful for? ( big,small, serious or funny)

[Mommyme74]

Times are hard I know but let me hear what you are grateful for today? it can be anything. smile and go!....

I couldn’t agree more. True Hero's! Y’all listening z listers and the like?..

YouTube - been using so many workouts and watercolour tutorials
Past me buying exercise bike in lockdown 1. Great decision!
DH working from home and seeing the kids way more
DH in general
Healthy kids
No-one I know has been ill with covid touch wood. Pretty sure DH had it late Feb/early march.
Spring bulbs coming up in our new garden (moved in July so haven’t seen the garden in spring yet)
Sertraline and my fab GP who is really interested in PMDD and keen to sort me out
The lovely and enlightening dietician I’ve just finished seeing
My tenacity - am finally starting to slim down
Grateful for how me and DH both have endless different interests and that seems to be extending down to the kids
Financial security touch wood
Vaccines
The few good friends I have, always there with an ear and advice
All 4 of my grandparents still going
Both my parents healthy ish
Errrrrm.... there’s more. There’s also plenty I’d love to change in my life but that’s not what this thread is for!

@LivingMyBestLife2020
Congrats on your uni offer. You will do great😊

My family and the fact we are all healthy.
Our house.
Our wedding later this year.
Money in the bank and food on the table.
Friends (although things obviously not the same now).
Where we live.

@PolarnOPirate. Brilliant list. Write what you feel, if it makes you happy. If you are comfortable sharing, let’s hear it😊

@Mommyme74 thank you! Midwifery, I’m so excited and such a change from School Business Management 😊

Kindle Unlimited.

On a serious note...
The positive outlook of my children.
The sun is poking out from the clouds
Internet. Fantastic invention. And computers.

I am incredibly grateful that we managed to complete our IVF cycle just before the clinics closed in the first shut down. My daughter is 3 months old today!
I am also grateful that we are allowed to bubble with my mum who is helping with the baby whilst I homeschool my older son.

On a lighter note:
Tea bags

My dogs
My hubby and my kid
My house (a crappy shithole, but it's warm, and it's MY shithole)
Iceland do Gregg's Steak Bakes and it's my nearest corner shop. Oink.

Having DC at home. I’m actually quite amazed at that as felt super stressed when they were home in lockdown 1, but we’re all getting on really well and they’re both much happier than they were before too.

My job - its low paid but i'm a Key worker and i get to see a lot of people, it keeps me going even if it does increase my risk.

Having a reasonable size garden was a god send last year and will be again this year.

Living in a small very rural community with enough facilities to not really need to leave in lockdown(supermarket, post office, take aways, doctors, park) but with tons of countryside for walks.

I try to remember all this when I'm struggling on. We are have different circumstances.

The fact that I accidentally ordered 11 packets of Fishermans Friends from Amazon. I had a non-covid chest infection, and it is very helpful to manage the cough when I'm taking my daily exercise, otherwise I get evil looks from people.
I think I really need a big badge saying "don't worry, the Test was negative".

@SlipperTripper. Nothing mundane about your gratitudes. It’s a lovely list, thanks for sharing. Enjoy the Jaffa’s 😋😊

My DP, who remains cheerful, loving and supportive, despite being the one who lost all his income and prospect of income (he’s a musician).
Work, have been brilliant supporting us working from home.
Vaccines and the prospect of better weather soon.

@CeeJay81. Thank you for all you do. You are appreciated😊

@SillyOldMummy. You have just evoked memories of my dear dad, he loved fisherman’s friends. I hope you feel better soon😊

My dh- lovely, sweet man
Good health- I had COVID and was quite poorly
Just Eats/ Uber Eats- allowed me to indulge without leaving the house
English Breakfast Tea
My dcs
Flash mop- everyone is at home so floors can get extra mucky. My flash mop facilitates cleaning
YouTube
NHS

@MrsCaplan. Home is where the heart is! So late to the party but it was only Dec last year when I ever tried a Gregg steak bake (the festive one). It truly was a When Harry met Sally moment😂

@choosername1234. Hey momma😊 happiest birthday to your little one ❤️

Mommyme74 , they are the BEST, aren't they? DD also addicted now and rationed to two a week. Gold parenting medal, please?!

@newlabelwriter. Outta something bad always comes something good, lovely to hear about families becoming closer during these horrible, trying times. Family is everything😊

@TeaPiglet. All the warmest wishes to you and your family. I bet your little girl is so excited to be a big sister😊

@Lampzade. Lovely list. Happy to hear you are recovering/recovered from Covid. Give yourself lots of self care😊

@Karmatime Shoutout to your DP!! What a lovely guy. It won’t be long before we have lots of warm glorious sunshine. Lots of good things ahead. Glad you are doing ok😊

That my dc are old enough to do their school work independently
That we have not really been financially affected by all of this
That we moved to a rural area a few years back. We've loved it from day 1, but this past year has made us feel particularly glad we did it.
The fact that my dc get on so well with each other and that all four of us enjoy each other's company most of the time, even though we'd obviously like to be seeing other people too!
