Daily Gratitudes 2018

[Lessstressedhemum]

A new thread for a new year.

A safe, quiet place to pause, breathe and count our blessings, great or small. Everyone is welcome: of all faiths or none at all, whether you post regularly or just once, whatever you are grateful for, you are welcome here.

We would love to share all the things that bring us joy or just make life a little more bearable.

Sorry, yes there is a 2019 thread. I'm not good at linking on my tablet, though.

I dunno how would we know? OP?!

The venue at which my eldest grandson was playing football had a sheltered area from which to spectate - still freezing and windy but at least the rain didn't get us.
Warming cup of coffee is about to thaw me out after above excursion, and there's a danish pastry in the oven to reward myself for my grandmotherly dedication.
