Daily Gratitudes 2015

[stressedHEmum]

A lovely new thread to continue counting our blessings.

Everyone is welcome, of any faith or none at all. Just drop by to pause for a moment and think of what has made you smile or has gone well for you, however small it seems.

lighter mornings

[KinkyDorito]

Need some prayers again I think!

DS is poorly. Hoping it's just fever with a cold, but I know there have been cases of Scarlet Fever in his school and he is a susceptible child. He's had a lot of impetigo which means he is predisposed to it. The worry of him being ill, combined with the fact neither of us are paid either if he is ill is causing stress. Plus I'm under mega work pressure and being off is terrifying at the moment. I already need to take DD to hospital next week. Everything feels like it is piling on me. Just needed a little vent.

Fed up.

Gratitudes:

Paracetamol suspension
A warm house with a duvet for DS to snuggle under
DH on his scheduled day off today so, so far, I've missed a day with him
This thread for somewhere just to write things down

[JugglingFromHereToThere]

Bless you all Kinky. Thinking of you and as Quakers say "holding you in the light"

My gratitudes this morning for ....

A hot cup of tea
A gradually warming house
My DC's two bedrooms, a space each for them, however messy!
Coming downstairs to a kitchen and two other spaces for us to live out family life, cook an evening meal, and relax together every evening and other times
Friends - looking forward to going out with a few this evening
Employment law and good work policies which offer some protection and guidance to all as it looks like my job may be coming to an end
Good memories of rewarding work I've done with the children and families both here and throughout my working life
Future possibilities! (always good to be grateful for those too?!)

And like kinky, for this thread and friends here too x

[KinkyDorito]

Juggling . "holding you in the light" is lovely . It must be working as DS is a bit brighter this morning.

[JugglingFromHereToThere]

Ahh, pleased to hear that kinky - hope he will soon be bouncing around again x

[Annunziata]

I am glad the wee one is on the mend Kinky. This time of year is a bad time for bugs!

It is Education Sunday and I am so glad that my children have the opportunities they do.

[stressedHEmum]

Glad DS is on the mend, Kinky. I will hold you in my prayers and ask God to give you all strength and hope.

Juggling, hope all is well workwise and that you can find new job soon.

gratitudes -
a warm home
happy, healthy safe children (even the ones who aren't children any more)
DS3's concussion is slowly mending
food, water, safety and shelter

How did he get a concussion?! Is he okay?

Safe children here too. That poor wee soul down in Bath, may God love her and keep her.

[Dimplesandall]

My duvet
Lovely walk earlier despite mud
Some good new.

Good to join you all.

[KinkyDorito]

Safe children here too. That poor wee soul down in Bath, may God love her and keep her. so very sad.

I'm through the mill with work yet again, so need to find some gratitude!

That I have a job (even though I want to walk away from it...)
Lovely family
Peaceful morning
Brighter days

[stressedHEmum]

He had an accident at his Boys Brigade about month ago while they were playing football and cracked the op of his head against the wall - severe concussion. He was quite poorly for a couple of weeks but he is on the mend, still has headaches but the rest of the symptom are gone now. Thank you for asking. That's what happens when you have a bunch of big 16-18 year old boys charging about competitively in a confined space.

Kinky, hope thins settle down at work, soon.

gratitudes -
small, everyday blessings

[KinkyDorito]

That's awful stressed. Pleased he is starting to feel better .

Gratitudes:

Toast!!
That it's nearly half term.
That DH was able to take the day off today to go in for a special event at DS's school. We often miss out on these things.

[Annunziata]

Ouch, I am glad he is feeling better!

faith and family
