Each day I try to write three things in my gratitude diary that I am truly grateful for, even if down in the dumps or disappointed with something.
What three things would you put in your diary for today?
Mine:-
Went along to music club although tired with a bad back.
Daughter had a big promotion.
Her health scare was unfounded.

1. Greatful to be alive, life is a gift.
2. I have a very understanding and loving husband.
3. I have sight... to see this beautiful earth.

Enjoying time with grandchildren who arrived yesterday for the week-end although they are both off to individual parties for most of today.

Nice e mail from ex neighbours where we used to live, also now moved too and invited us to call in when we are next in their area..

I managed to get all the fruit and veg I needed (even tomatoes) from my Sainsburys shop.

You should be positive,
I went to the club and my daughter had some good news. A great day 😊
Not my back was bad and the health issue was nothing. They are negatives.

1. After two weeks of feeling absolutely awful i am feeling better and only a very faint positive covid test
2. I managed to shower after ….. days!
3. Had a lovely walk with my Puppy ‘Isla’ without needing to sit down at every bench.

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!).

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!

Ilovedragonflies Sat 25-Feb-23 12:37:03

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. angry £1,500 and rising, so far.)

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

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.

yogitree Sat 25-Feb-23 12:52:26

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.

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.

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

Musicgirl Sat 25-Feb-23 13:16:08

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.
