Daily Gratitude's 2020

[Lessstressedhemum]

A safe, friendly thread where we can pause, think and count our blessings

Everyone is welcome here. Whether you have a faith or not, whether you are grateful for huge things or simple pleasures, whether you post every day or just once; stop by and join us, we would love to see you.

@WinWinnieTheWay - I'm sure that if you sent a message to your friends telling them that you enjoyed their company, particularly as you've been struggling a bit recently they'll want to support you. (Feel free to ignore this advice - I acknowledge I know nothing of your circumstances, or those of your friends.)

I am grateful that dh has been able to drive the dc to school in the pouring rain.

I’m so glad I remembered to bring the washing in from the line last night!

I’m grateful for this thread and the people on it who help me to reflect on my blessings.

Thank you, Breath.

Winnie, I know how hard it is, but maybe if you can let your friends know that you're struggling a bit, then they will be able to support you .

A reasonably productive day
Time spent with ds4 watching a silly kids film
Clean, hot water at the turn of a tap.
My new conditioner bar. It smells so good.

A much needed day of rest
Adult children
A warm home

Today I am grateful for having the coming week off work, to spend with my children.

Enjoy your break speedofsloth
Yesterday.
I'm grateful for a morning of yoga with a wonderful teacher of mine.

And today..
For having nowhere to be outside the house. A pyjama day has been well overdue.
For my husband making a comforting dinner when the weather is wild outside.

While there are young people like Marcus Rashford and Greta Thunberg in the world, the future's not entirely bleak

Enjoy this week, *sloth".

I know, Optimist, it gives you hope, doesn't it. Thank goodness for brave, caring, outspoken young people.

Today, I'm grateful that we have found a way to support DS3 and Ddil while she spirals down again, even though we aren't allowed to see them in person.
That I have the skills to do so.
And I'm grateful for my faith and the strength and calm it gives me when things are going wrong again.

Thank you. DS ends self-isolation tomorrow so we are meeting up with lovely friends, another thing to be grateful for.

I am grateful for a day with no drama- just a lovely everyday day catching up with little jobs. Morning meditations, tidying up, making soup, a walk, a catch up with a friend

And then delightful news from my daughter.

And a good book to end the day.

Brilliant meeting this evening
Caring friends
The police doing a very fast welfare check on ddil, who is spiralling again

(Thinking of you, your DDIL and DS, @Lessstressedhemum )

Shelter, faith, hot tea and toast (fennel tea today because I'm feeling a bit sick🤮)

I am grateful that we both still have jobs as another lockdown looms, even if the future is rather uncertain.
I am grateful that I could stay indoors during this morning's storm.

In preparation for the Government's announcement, I'm reminding myself that there's much to be thankful for
Warm house
Communicative friends and family
Reliable supplies of energy, clean water and broadband

Ds kitten improving after an accident. Wee soul is only ten weeks old and so tiny
A productive meeting and a good chat with friends
Frozen peas! I found out yesterday that they were first marketed on 3rd November 1952. They are quick, nutritious and delicious ❤️

Today I am grateful that we are all well going into the weekend, and that my DC's school bubbles are still intact as they are thriving at school.

Shelter
A good meeting last night
A chat with an old friend

Sleep
Exercise
Netflix

That just about sums up life at the moment😁

Today I am grateful to be home.

Easy and frequent communication with my kids
A leisurely weekend in prospect after rather a busy week
My health

I have just seen this thread, can I join you? I have suddenly started feeling I am really missing church and feel a need to make space to be prayerful in my day.

Thankful for the connection I have with my aunt, who I have been texting today. She didn't keep in contact for a few years when she was very depressed and it's so good to have her back. Also grateful my DD has been able to go for a walk with a friend, her first social engagement since the summer (we have been in lockdown for ages here).

Hello, Colouring, it's lovely to see you.

A safe warm home
A video chat with my dad
Warm jumpers

Watching the wind in the trees
Laughter
Exercise

Two loads of washing willowing on the line (third to go out imminently)
Distanced entertainment on the agenda next week
The BBC - radio and TV in equal parts
