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.

lovely weekend with DH
feeling like cold finally on mend
nice 48 hrs to come with lots of time for me without having to worry about anyone else

longer days
beautiful early spring like weather
line dry washing
having our material needs met

Feeling a bit bleugh today, p'haps catching DH's nasty cold.
So feel in need of posting my gratitudes ...
no idea really what they might be yet ... let's see ....

Time off with DC this week for half-term
A better forecast for tomorrow (was peeing it down all of today!)
Possibility of getting together with friends later in the week
A nice Wallace and Gromit movie I've been watching with the DC (WareRabbit)
A simple pasta supper

• Clean water on tap, and fuel to cook food (we don't often have that one do we?)

A roof (rain may continue into the night) dh's job (even if my employment looks much more tricky ATM) A nice phone call between DC and DM earlier, and DNeice too. Snowdrops and crocuses coming up this week - including in our garden and another garden I'm fond of (at our Meeting House)

Good to see the (first ?) appearance of the line dry washing stressed - spring is on the way!

I love it, Juggling, sadly it's been too wet today.

baked potatoes for tea
a good book to read (very subjective use of good) - I LOVE my kindle
sleep in a warm bed

I am NOT grateful for the cat who threw up over all of my school work and set me back by a day when I thought the end was in sight!

I am grateful for:
Having DS home with DN and DF for some quality time today
Mango
Sunshine
Longer days

Juggling love the spring flowers. Makes me feel really happy.

Our little snowdrops are out!

Bad cat! My MIL's cat caught herpes a few weeks ago, how unladylike. She is mortified and the DC were in stitches

I am grateful for Lent and the chance to make myself better.

*Annunziata! Very unladylike .

I am grateful for time with friends.

Time with DS even though he relishes being awkward!
Plans for the weekend to get out .

lent and spiritual renewal
quiet time with God
family and friends
food, clean water, shelter and safety
wee birds singing

Lots of little birds stressed - went for a walk yesterday and they were everywhere. Like spring flowers, this makes me .

Another walk this morning.
Time with family.
Food, heat, running water.
Lighter days.

DD trying to singing in Mass today.
Better weather than forecast.
DS shaving off his moustache.

Kinky, the birds make me laugh every day. In here, they are regarded as my pets - apparently, I pay more attention to feeding them than I do to feeding my children

gratitudes -
a good and very meaningful sermon at church yesterday
hot tea
DS4 is a wee bit better
over the counter medicines
small everyday blessings

shelter from this awful weather
the ability to read and write

finally finished a task that I have been putting off
prayer and contemplation

Blue skies here today
Cooked a nice mutter paneer curry for supper
A friend came to see me yesterday and we had a lovely day together and went for a nice walk
Signs of spring, especially snowdrops and crocuses, and blue tits peeping a look in our nest box, and some great crested grebes getting friendly on the lake we walked around yesterday

Also I think not working for the moment may be helping me feel a bit calmer and generally helping my well-being. Am doing a small amount of tutoring work which I enjoy.

We all have the lurgy, I thank God we all seem to be on the mend.
