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😁

A clean and tidy room (not house quite yet but working on it )

A thoughtful DH

A surprise parcel in the post

Team work
My lovely clients all looking forward to coming back after I've been on holiday for 2 weeks.
And seeing how excited they are about getting back to face to face in May.

Oh and grateful for my teen DS picking his brother up from school today and hanging around to let him play at the park.

Woops, realised I was grateful for very similar yesterday.

Actual heat in the sun
A purring cat sitting on my lap
A really productive meeting last night with my wee mission and outreach group

I'm grateful for the beautiful spring blossom.

For a warm, sunny day

For my wonderful aunt who is the best person I know

The great joy of watching kids play
The specialness of introducing the kids to wonderful books
Feeling a bit more positive in general

Sunshine on my face Watching rubbish on the TV with DD Seeing ds4 smile for the first time in a while.

Yay for smile

Empty garden water butts so you can power wash the dead insect carcass mush at the bottom!

Daisies in the lawn (presenting the mowing this week too pretty and the bees love them, that's my excuse after giving a full explanation to the Mr last month on why seeing big bees too early is never a good thing).

Decluttering mini success, I can see almost all the kitchen surfaces I can ever hope to ever see, just don't look in the shed, more a decamp than a declutter but still progress as far as I am concerned.

Blue tits in my nest box 🐦
Reading in the sun
The wonder and beauty of this planet

Rats! The bird was supposed to be blue🙄

I had sad news today of someone I know who has died after a long battle with cancer.

I am going to say that today's gratitude is that I got to know her and I'm very grateful that what I do could help her find peace in the last few difficult years.

Breathmiller for the joy and loss of your friend

A daytime date outside in the sunshine

Happy that it's Friday

A beautiful morning for football spectating (and the right result, too )
Plans for my back garden slowly coming together
Washing billowing on the line

I am grateful to be blessed with all the things that make my life comfortable

For a beautiful sunny day

For my children bringing joy daily

Breath.

Another glorious day
The convenience of internet shopping
Grapes straight from the fridge

Thank you.

Today I am grateful for a bbq in the garden with friends we hadn't seen for well over a year. It was just what was needed. A fun day.

Hanging in a friend's sunny garden

Watching DS challenge himself

Enjoying food together

I'm grateful for the beautiful tree I can see from my garden that I love to watch

For the comfort of my bed

For the food I have eaten today

🙏

A lovely church service yesterday
Breathing space
So many things that I can't name them all

A kind partner who gives great hugs

Watching the swans incubate their eggs

Ds2 has been offered a brilliant job teaching in Thailand. His dreams are beginning to come true. I will miss him terribly, though.
Watching the nesting blue tits popping in and out the nestbox
DD sat another exam today without any problems. 2 down 5 to go.
