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.

We love Dragons in this house and always appreciate it when someone is kind to them - especially when they are extra cute littlies.

1 - A career I enjoy
2 - Coffee
3 - 6am cuddles with DD, she might wake me up from a peaceful sleep and then wriggle like there's itching powder in the sheets, but I do love my early morning cuddles

(2 might have something to do with 3)
