Today is Day 9 of the Blogtober 2026 challenge and today prompt is Five Things I Am Grateful For Right Now.
When you sit down and look around you, there is so much you can feel grateful for in your life. My husband always said as long as you can find at least one thing to smile about each day you will be a happier person. Below is 5 things I am grateful for and why
Table of Contents
1 – Biscuit
Although I sometimes ask myself why did I decided to get a puppy. I am so glad I did. He is the happiest little dog in the world and he has chosen me as his person and cries if I leave him.
He gives me purpose to get up in the morning and get out of the house each day to take him for a walk. He keeps me on my toes as he gets up to so much naughtiness. But is so loving as well.
2 – Coffee
My day can not start until I have had my coffee. Although I do drink tea during the day, only a coffee can get me started in the mornings.
3 – Bright Sunshine Days
I love when the weather gets cooler but the days are still bright and the sun is shining. The autumn colours are coming through as the leaves on the trees change colour and start to fall. It really is such a pretty time of the year.
I also love being out and about with Biscuit when the weather is like this, not too hot for him but still warm enough he does not need a jumper or coat. I have no idea what he will be like when the weather really does change.
4 – My Favourite New Jeans
I go for comfort more than style these days. I have no one to impress and just do things for me now. C recently purchased a new pair of leggings and said they were so comfortable. So I copied and ordered a pair and then another as yes they were.
I then decided to try their jeans and they are a game changer so I got another 2 pairs. They are so comfortable that I wear these all the time at the moment.
To me comfort is key, I spend most of my time at home and home is where you are supposed to be comfortable anyway.
5 – My Bed
My one safe space for just me is my bedroom. C rarely steps in my room so it is where I can escape too. It is where I can shut the door gather my thoughts or cry. It was the last place I saw my husband alive before he went to do something.
I tend to go to be early these days, Once Biscuit has had his evening burst of energy and been outside. We head up to bed and put something on the tv – usually Big Brother at the moment. He will either lay near me or can sense when I need a cuddle and he will pop his head on me to let me know he is there.
What are you grateful for at the moment?
I am so with you on all of the things you are grateful for. Biscuit is everything and coffee is a close second LOL. I so love this list and spot on! I love the idea of this list as it is always good to think about things you are grateful for…. puts you into a positive mindset too.
It is nice to have a bit of positivity at times
I also like the sunshine! I find it challenging when it gets to dark all the time – the dead of autumn – it’s so challenging. Coffee is another must!
Nothing worse than dark grey days, at least the sun shining makes the days better
Finding a good pair of jeans is like winning the lotto, right?
Definitely, and these are so comfortable
Reading lists like this always reminds me to appreciate the little everyday things that keep us going.
It is the everyday things that do keep us going and appreciate what we have
I love all of these. I happen to be grateful for these, too. I think we all need to step back and remember the good things we have in our life.
I agree it is the little things that mean the most
Biscuit is super cute! I’m grateful for some of these things too, except coffee! I’m a tea drinker!

Biscuit is a cutie. I do love my coffee but also drink a lot of tea now as well
Trust me, we’re all grateful for Biscuit, he’s quite a sunshine, I love him and how cute he is…
He is a ray of sunshine and so cute and loving although he is teething at the moment which is not fun
