So easy to forget the good things, when so many of us have so many challenges and scary stuff and just life to deal with on a daily basis.

So today, on Monday, I’m going to rejoice and name 5 things I’m so grateful to have today!

A lovely comfy warm bed!
A family (even though they drive me nuts)
Better health than some, though not the best.
Retirement!
Friends.

Your turn.

Let’s be positive and forget the awfulness of our world, just for a few moments and reflect on the good, the nice and the lovely thanks

Lying in bed at 7.30 am and hearing cars start up and pull off driveways as neighbours go to work. A slow morning start and lucky to be retired...

A cup of tea next to the bed, thanks to Mr G.

Family.

Adult children + DGC living only a few miles away.

The surrounding countryside and its wildlife.

A garden that still gives me pleasure.

My tiny summerhouse at the bottom of the garden where I retreat when I want be alone and/or de-stress.

No problems with our neighbours.

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.
