New Years resolutions always end up being broken here and on glass half empty days that’s just another thing to beat myself up about. So instead I thought I would make a list of random things for which I am grateful.
Here we go with the things that I am grateful for today, in no particular order just because I want it that way.
The internet – because without it all my lovely readers would not know me and I would not know them. And that would be sad.
ModCons, especially Washing machines. I’m not sure that I am cut out to wash clothes by hand. Especially if that involves beating clothes on rocks but the nearest river.
Medical / Vet Care. This year Girl Child had her adenoids removed and now at age 6 sleeps through the night. Smiley Dog has had chronic ear infections since he was a pup but this year it has been BAD. As regular readers would know he has had a major operation to fix that issue. So I am grateful that we have medical and vet care.
My children. While some days (especially school holidays - LOL) the kids do my head in, I am extremely grateful that I have two reasonably healthy, happy children. I am privileged to be about to see them grow and change into wonderful adults.
Books. I love to read and really appreciate a good book. Okay I even appreciate not so good books really it’s just the story and hopefully happily ever after that I enjoy.
What are some things are you grateful for? My list is just short today. There are so many other things that are on my list but as I don't want to bore you so that’s it for now.
