It’s Monday and we are still here!!

Today I am so incredibly thankful that DH's sky high BP, headache, vision distortion and struggle with words over the weekend has been confirmed by the hospital as not a second stroke. Thanking God that his headache has gone, now need to find out what is wrong with his eyesight, but have got an appointment for this evening.

Great news that our boiler has finally been fixed and we have heating and hot water!
Of course our lovely family, friends and neighbours, support from our Church, and enough money to look after ourselves.

And Gransnetters! 🙂

Grandma70s

My sons and grandchildren, first and foremost.

A brain that still works, more or less!

Music and books.

Peace and quiet.

Enough money. This is more important than I would like it to be.

I second Grandma70s list, word for word. (Also have three perfect sons)

Especially music - the making of and listening to. Preferably with nobody coughing. And sunshine. And washing on the line.

It's always good to look at the best in one's life to bring a smile:
My puppy
My family
My new cookery book, all 718 pages
Music in the background
Good health all round

Basgetti - so sorry for your loss

My wonderful husband
My family and friends
My house with all its home comforts and the garden.
My fairly newly adopted town and surrounding countryside, I've come to love it a lot, having moved out of London 5 and half years ago, enjoying a less frenetic and slower pace here.
Books, I'm never without one.
Enough money and enough food, never to be taken for granted plus the choice of supermarkets where I live
Freedom

Basgetti 💐

Our wonderful son, daughter and grandson.
My dog and cats.
A warm, secure home.
I lost my husband, my best friend and confidante, in June but he’s with me always.

Yes I always count my blessings.

Thanks for this thread Cossy, with all that is bad in the world is nice to think of what is good 💐

Yes to books, presently rereading sense and sensibility, such a joy as the nights draw in.

5 things

- the health of my husband and I is generally good
- the grandchildren are all well and doing well
- both daughters now husbandless but not unhappy about it
- we don't have any money worries
- warm comfortable house

This is a good thread , but most of us will say the same thing - family, friends , health, money .
It will be more fun, interesting, if we had a ‘grumps thread’ - 😂
Anyway here goes :

Yes Family
A beautiful poem arrived, written by DGS in NZ and also an email telling me of his adventure visiting an island recently with a conservation team, which is now totally free of rats and pets so that flightless birds can thrive.

Friends: 5 friends helped me clear the house yesterday. It's getting there....

Health: mustn't grumble . 😂

My local community and the glory of nature.
