Daily Gratitudes 2017

[Lessstressedhemum]

A nice, gentle thread for us all to count our blessing, to pause, breathe and be thankful for all the wee, small things that go right in our days.

Everyone is welcome, no matter our personal beliefs or faiths.

Today, I am grateful for a new year and a fresh start and for time spent with my family.x

Thank you :)

Beautiful heather all in flower

Peace be with you one and all

Hi all.

I wanted to post some gratitudes today as we are in the middle of our summer holiday club which I lead, and on our third day, our (slightly lower than usual) numbers almost doubled. So very thankful for the blessing that these children are and the work that is happening in their lives this week!

I love holiday club. I lead ours and it's exhausting but fabulous. Well done, mini, I hope you continue to have a fab week

Line dried washing

Two wonderful dcs.

Zzzzz sleep... slowly starting to get some. I have two cots, both of which have just been used to store things in for the last year. A baby is currently sleeping in one, hurray!

A wonderful job. I'm an accountant working for a small charity and it's great to see the way we can impact people's lives. Not to mention how much it makes you appreciate what you have and how quickly things can turn around for some people.

The kindness and compassion of my lovely vet who put my dear old boy to sleep this afternoon.
The support of friends and family who understand my loss.

Hearing my dcs laugh and laugh together.
A nice board game as a family
