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.

I'm grateful that I finished washing down the outside "furniture", & also for the fact that no-body noticed me doing it wearing my "only fit for the rag-bag" garden clothes!

Also grateful for all the birds I saw happily hopping about on the Spring grass today!

Washed my car after it passed MOT and was serviced the day before.
Sewed some pot holders for donating to charity shop to sell....hopefully 😊
Long chatty phone call with a friend.

Today:
The joy of hearing some jazz played well
Socialising with am dram friends
A Spring like day!

Nice idea, but nothing today would go in a gratitude diary from me☹️ But a few things would go in a despondent diary.
Will try again another day.

Oh heck, I've just noticed.....three things! Okay....

I've also taken delivery of a massive Tesco order, so we're all stocked up.
And I've turned a collar, for the first time in my life. It's DH's favourite shirt, so worth the effort.

Hi Everyone this is my first post coming up......feeling brave.
1. I am grateful for the ☀. No heat from it, but the light is glorious.
2 My one and only Hellibore is looking delightful. I told her that i thought her beautiful and I'm sure she stood even taller to show off her blooms.
3 I am so grateful for heat pads and hot water bottles, reducing the need for medication. 🌈 Aona

Welcome to Gransnet, Aona, and well done on the first ever post! smile

All I have to offer is that I've finally defrosted the chest freezer, after weeks of putting it off. I now know what's in it and have even made a list.

The pain on the ball of my foot is improving, so I shall enjoy my morning walk.

Many bulbs in bud and blue Anemone Blanda in flower.

Neighbour with shingles feels well enough to come with me to Asda.
