Gratitude Diary

This is Pollyanna's Glad Game

DH is doing all the little DIY jobs that have been building up.

I am sitting under my heated throw watching last night's Death in Paradise

DH is cooking supper

1) that BT managed to fix my broadband
2) I successfully made two mug-cakes and custard
3)That I had the best mum in the world.

Soon to be SIL came round for tea - delightful man.
Brought me lovely flowers and pretty dog walk anorak.
Daffs blooming all round our property.

DD and SiL came for breakfast
Large cupboard moved with their help
Quiet afternoon reading by the fire

Did my dark wash AND hung it out to dry.
Family member interviewed by TV presenter.
Took dog on extra long walk without either of us getting covered with mud!

I walked for an hour in the lovely sunshine.
I got round to doing my dark wash.
My DD sent me a photo of my beautiful GD.

1. I lost my card wallet - it wasn't in my bag when I went to pay at the supermarket - but thankfully the lady stall-holder in the farmer's market where I had been before had found it and kept it for me.

2.I did my walk today and it didn't rain.

3. I have high bids on something I am selling on ebay!

My SI joint problem is almost fully resolved.
The days are getting significantly longer.
A whole little gem lettuce plus 100g cucumber is less than 30kcal. (Good to know on a fasting day!)

1. Thank goodness for Dr John Campbell on Youtube
2. Good neighbours
3. Proud of my sons and all they acheive

That my two adult sons are well, & doing ok for themselves….
That I’m still able to enjoy baking assortment of cakes like I have done this morning…
My husband is still ok with wallpapering like he is doing today…

Daughter celebrated her birthday
Grandchildren came to say goodbye and hugged before l set off for a 5 week trip
Friend sent me an emotional Bon Voyage card
OH made poached eggs today !
Very lucky lady ❤️

I am grateful for my lovely music pupils and the progress they make.
I am grateful for my modern hearing aids that allow me to connect to my mobile phone and zoom meetings via Bluetooth.
I am grateful that my husband is very understanding and supportive of my chronic fatigue at this time. One day I will recover.

I am grateful that I live in a country that is not at war,
that I have enough and I have loving and supportive friendships

Being able to bake a beautiful cake in a lovely kitchen. Meeting daughters and grandchildren for lunch and having a wonderful husband who works so hard to make our home a nice place to live in.

After breaking my shoulder, I'm able to get out and drive again.
Looking forward to a trip to Edinburgh Airport to pick up a friend.
Made Caldo Verde for friends and family to enjoy tomorrow.

Good start - video call from grandchildren 6yrs and 13yrs in Australia. Then nice local walk with DH. Off to hairdressers now, tea and chat too, always welcome.

I'm still breathing
Beloved is still breathing
Youngest grandson, with Spina Bifida, is learning to walk

1. Had a lovely chat with my sister.
2. Had an equally lovely chat with my youngest.
3. My very under the weather dog wanted lots of cuddles which I was happy to provide. (He's got a loose tooth and, as was discovered when I took him in to see about it, possibly cancerous lesions at the back of his throat. Every day with him is a blessing at the moment. Not so grateful for the 6 week wait before the vet can operate, or the truly appalling cost of treatment. Because it's classed as dental, insurance won't pay out. £1,500 and rising, so far.)

Hmm, got norovirus so not feeling very grateful.

Oh, but I can still run fast enough to reach the toilet pan in time. There we are!

Son came over for breakfast and a catch up this morning.
No sickness this morning (no I’m not pregnant, just icky sometimes!)
Looking forward to Sunday’s trip to the carboot sale with my daughter and her family (and to the roast dinner later!).

The sun is shining
Don’t ache after walking 9 miles yesterday
Family coming for dinner, all 5 grandsons will be there
What a nice idea this is

Welcome to Gransnet Katcoffee

I’m new on here so I’m loving the posts I’m reading.
The 3 things for my gratitude will be My GD1 (age 12months) is now saying 2 syllable words
My shoulder pain is much better
and
The sun is shining today

1) My kitty Dora recovered from a 24-48 hr “cold” (coughing, sneezing)
2) Every day this would be in my top 3 - my family and friends
3) After 1 year, that Ukraine is standing brave and courageous in the face of evil
Cheers!
