Day 7 of Blogtober 2022 and today I am sharing my gratitude list. As I started to think about this , I realised I have a lot to be thankful for.

Family
I am lucky to have an amazing family, and we are very close.
- My Parents – I am an only child which I shared in my 5 things you don’t know about me post. Which makes me very close to my parents. They are older now and since my Dad had a mini stroke he has changed. Which has meant I have had to take over a lot of things for them.
- My Husband – We have been together 23 years now, and celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary last week. He is my rock, he keeps me grounded, tells me when I am being silly. Listens to my rants and puts up with my silly questions.
- My Kids – I have two stepsons who have been in my life since they were 4 years old and 1 year old. They drive me to distraction, but it is always me they come to when they want something or need to talk about something, so I can’t be that bad as a ‘wicked stepmum’. Then there is C who you all know a lot about. She is my baby girl and my world.
- My Grandchildren – I love being a Nanny and adore my grandchildren. They really do light up my life. The youngest has been in stitches, if she doesn’t know you gives the filthiest looks, and her favourite word is no.
Coffee
Everyone who knows me, knows I need my coffee. It keeps me sane and a lot more rational and calmer.
My Blog
I love my blog, it has helped me through the start of c’s illness. It is somewhere I can share and talk openly about things.
I am also thankful to all of you, I have some amazing followers and your comments and messages do mean a lot to me. To be honest, I could not continue without you all.
I do have a lot to be grateful for and just highlighted the most important things to me. What would be on your gratitude list?
Great list. Thanks for sharing!
I love this list. Thank you for sharing how important the little things are!
It is the little things we should be grateful for
it’s the simple things in life isn’t it?
It is the simple things
I am grateful for my family too- I guess for finally accepting the person I am and being so supportive. Instead of coffee I am grateful for miso soup, the only thing I drink to calm me down and it tends to work. But recently I realise I should be very grateful for all the shop staff in Lidl who are always kind and look out for me when I’m there. The children love them all too
I love my family and friends and do feel lucky. When you think about what you grateful for you realise how much there is
I love your gratitude list, family are everything
Thank you and they are

it’s offen the simple thongs that give most pleasure ( mines coffee )
It is the little things like coffee, you see a lot around you tobe grateful for
Happy 20th Anniversary! I think top of my gratitude list is my family, although at times I do find caring for children, aging parents and full time work challenging
Thank you, I am the same but it is challenging I agree but when I look at it I would not have it any differently
A lovely gratitude list. Happy belated anniversary! 🙂 My sister had a stroke a few years ago, it really is life-changing for all members of the family. I’m glad the blog and readers have helped since C’s illness. it really is a lovely community xxx
Thaank you, it is life changing but you just adapt to a new normal way of life. It is an amazing community and love being part of it
We all need to do a gratitude list when we feel a bit down about life so we can appreciate what we have.
That is a great idea, and it really makes you realise what you do have in your life
So important to be grateful for what we have, sometimes we forget what we really have when we stop doing a gratitude list.
It is easy to forget at times
We all have a lot to be grateful for.
It sounds like you have an amazing family and I am so grateful for coffee too. Some days it’s what gets me going and keeps me going throughout the day. lol
I do have a great family and do feel luky, and coffee is what gets me through the day as well
Such a lovely graditude list. And happy 20th wedding anniversary, that’s amazing x
Thank you, it really doesn’t feel like 20 years, although he agreed and said more like 40 haha
Happy 20th anniversary! That’s amazing! I am drinking my coffee as I write this and it’s definitely something I’m always grateful for.
Thank you, I am always grateful for my coffee and just sat down with one now
