Daily Gratitude's 2021

[Lessstressedhemum]

A shiny new thread for a bright shiny new year.

This is a place to pause, be still and count our blessings, great and small. Everyone is welcome, whether you have faith of any kind or none at all.

We would love for you to join with us as we celebrate the good things from loving families to washing drying on the line😁

An unexpectedly sunny Easter day
Family around my table
The Covid rules permitting more social interaction - I'm very thankful to have a garden

Easter egg hunt with the kids was so funny and sweet
We dug up the front garden jungle and planted our veggies. This was a casualty of lockdown last year so it feels like progress
DH cooked an epic roast beef dinner.

Happy Easter everyone

Lovely Easter weekend
A garden I can meet family and friends in
Living close to beautiful walks

Lovely time in the park even though it was freezing!

Mammogram and B12 jag today. Thank you NHS.
Kids who are old enough to look after themselves
A warm house from which to look out at the cold, cold wind.

The day ended better than it started at least
Glad to have had a peaceful evening
And a scoop of ice cream

My little business seems to be really taking off now.
Hot water bottles.
Hot coffee.

Yesterday
Time on my own with DS17 qs we drove to another town to pick something up. Precious times indeed.

(As an aside - I was feeling a bit rubbish yesterday at not being able to get to see my mum who is in a nursing home and couldn't see any good in the day. But this thread reminded me to look at the positives- so thank you)

Shelter
Warm clothes
Laughter in the house

Breathmiller, that's so difficult for you. Hope you had a better day today.

Cute toddler cuddles in bed this morning
Making a health plan with a caring doctor
