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.

For my darling little girl and the much longed for sibling who we waited two years for and is now growing healthy and safe at the 20 week scan today.

The beautiful weather and the joy it brings to see a blue sky & feel warmth outside.

All the kind colleagues I can speak with about my work stresses.

Opportunities to help others that i was given today.
