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.

An entertaining few minutes watching a squirrel attempting to take his breakfast from the bird feeders (I didn't have the heart to shoo him off, and yes, it might have been "her", not "him"!)

Easter, I don’t have faith but I love that it gives us all time and believer or not that’s a gift.

A lovely night spent with friends. We change over time but friendship doesn’t.

Hope you’re both ok less & optimist.

All well here, oliver.

All well, oliver. My fibro has flared up and then things have been a bit of a struggle, but it's all good. Thank you.

Being able to help a friend who has been a bit under the weather.
DS3 and DD both have college offers for the course of their choice.

A big family celebration today with ages 17months to 75yrs and everyone had a ball. So thankful that some of us are enthusiastic enough to arrange such events and cater so deliciously!

Beautiful spring day
Quiet afternoon

My husband's cleaned the kitchen, the laundry's in the machine getting clean in preparation for the week ahead, and I have a good few hours before bed to sit down with a book and a cup of tea, with nothing stressing me out.
