Three things to be grateful for ...
« on: May 22, 2015, 08:56:15 PM »

The secret of happy people is apparently gratitude - the ability to count blessings despite other tat we have to deal with. Starting off the day thinking of blessings rather than our curses can put us on the right tracks.

So.... three things you're grateful for each day?

Mine for today:
1. My girls have been lovely today, no squabbling but just lots of lively and fun chats.
2. It's bank holiday - yay! Even though I work for myself and will still be working in between, it's just that holiday atmosphere I love
3. Green sludge, aka vegetable juice. It may not be chocolate but it's doing my digestive system the world of good and I'm eating around 10 a day at the moment and feeling rather pious  :)

1  a loving husband
2  a husband to remains well
3  a husband who can 'do' (DIY, drive, offer comfort, suggest when I need to eat (recovering anorexic), suggest when I
    should take my emergency anxiety pill )

My kids. They really are great.
My hubby, bless him, he puts up with me.
And the fact I get to waken up in the morning to another day....be what it may I'm lucky to have it.

1. My friends.
2. I am contented with my lot.
3. Despite the limitations of my anxiety, I can do what I like, when I like.

My hubby, first & foremost. Without him I'd be lost!
My kids, who although they still drive me mad at times, I love to bits.
A roof over my head.

Great thread 😘

1) my children and grandchildren 💕(each has something medical to deal with, and they deal with it remarkably)

2) my dear parents (RIP) 💓💓 who taught me it's not all about possessions

3) my dear OH, who is my best friend too, who puts me before himself ♥️

Lovely thread

1. Waking up to a lovely sunny morning.
2 My  DH bringing me my cup of tea in bed as he has done for 43 years.
3. Knowing that at this moment all my family are safe and well.
Hope we can continue this each day.

Today I am grateful for:
1.  A lovely start to the day. Kids are sleeping, sun is shining, I can hear the birds singing. Perfect.
2. A full fridge rather than the usual scrabble through the cupboards for something to eat
3.  My lovely campervan - all happy and shiny and ready for a day out.

1.  My lovely husband, who is tired and stressed now due to hard work this week, but who is always kind and says money/time is no object in terms of getting me better.
2. Lovely children, who are healthy and good company.
3. I'm not in the Big Brother House [I have only watched bits when channel surfing last night - first time ever.  Wouldn't it be awful if life landed from outer space and found that first?  Although they would perhaps leave immediately - so I suppose one could say BB has one use...]

Good morning everyone.
1 all four of my cucumber seeds have germinated in the greenhouse.
2. Slept a bit better last night.
3. Our friendly robin was waiting on the patio when I came downstairs and sang beautifully when I put some bread out for him.

Lucky you Limpy.

Going to sit through one of those time-share things this morning, but will get £50 voucher and free week in Turkey or Spain.
Going to spend £50 voucher on me!
Going to book week away in Turkey in Spain!


[And before you say it, I know I will have to sit through another presentation while away, but don't care if apartment is nice!]

Thought I would count my blessings again so here goes.
1. My day working at the local Hospice shop- always enjoy that.
2. Sunshine again this morning, garden looking lovely and colourful.
3. DH didn't snore last night!, always a bonus!.
Have a good day everyone, thinking of GG.
