Saturday gratitude.

Today I’m grateful I made this day count in many ways.
I’m grateful for a visit to IKEA. I got what I had on the list and found inspiration and ideas for some difficult spots in my house that I want more of practical use instead of being dead corners. I enjoyed breakfast there and I enjoyed the people, it was crowded and people were in a good mood.

I’m grateful I drove straight home afterwards, I was exhausted and tired. I’m grateful I listen to my needs and respect my limits.

I’m grateful I rested, had the daily talk with my widowed friend M, was absolutely unmotivated to do anything else but cared for tomorrow ME: Heated the furnace, ran the dishwasher and did grocery shopping (that’s just a 5 min. drive and 5 min. in the shop). I’m always grateful when I remember to care for tomorrow ME, I will be happy and grateful tomorrow for kind & caring yesterday ME. I’m grateful I take good care of me.

I’m grateful for my zoo, so much fun, laughter and love.

I’m grateful for my nice and caring neighbours around, a blessing.

Grateful for washers of all kind, modern amenities, my reliable car, my cozy house, rest, hot showers, cheese, parcel delivery, discounts on dog food, being a bit bitchy as a single on Valentine’s day, hot chocolate, meds for me & my zoo, peace, freedom and light in my heart.

Monday gratitude.

Today I’m grateful fir TS, for all the support and sharing, the posts I nod to and mumble “me too” or “thank you, i needed this”

today’s special gratitude goes to Dana @Butterflymoonwoman Checking in daily to maintain focus #83 - #1305 by Butterflymoonwoman Thank you for sharing :folded_hands:

Today I’m grateful I went back to basics: one big task a day, do what I can on the daily / routines.
Grateful it went well, I’m happy with the result.

Grateful for all I did in the past to make living alone on the farm doable without crashing into physical or mental burnout. I’m grateful I was curageous and thought big. It pays off every day as I now can evolve in details and things I love. Proper infrastructure is key because without it I’m stuck.

I’m grateful for sofa-time with cats & dog (not together :wink:) I’m beyond grateful for all the love in my life, the cuddles, snuggles, purrs and snores.
I’m grateful for a warm, cozy home where I feel safe and secure.
I’m grateful for friends.
I’m grateful I take good care of myself. No self-sabotage today :folded_hands:
I’m grateful nobody expects me to partake in carnival activities. Shrove Tuesday I always dress up as the nice psychopat next door, have been doing this since schooldays, I’m not into this forced fun thing.
