I have seen many people on social media list something every day that they are grateful for and thought I would join in and have on my private Facebook account every day. I am hoping to continue it for the rest of the year and longer.
Day 1 of #365DaysOfGratitude - January 1st.
Today I am grateful for a lazy start to the new year. We slept until late and have had a lovely day doing nothing much at all.
Day 2 of #365DaysOfGratitude - January 2nd

Today I am grateful for negative lateral flow tests. Back to school and college for the kids tomorrow.
Day 5 of #365DaysOfGratitude - January 5th
Today I am grateful for being home alone. I love my family to bits but it was nice to have them all out at work, school and college so I could just potter. Absence makes the heart grow fonder and all that.
Day 6 of #365DaysOfGratitude - January 6th
Today I am grateful for overbuying treats at Christmas, we're still eating the goodies now. These cookies are so good.
Day 7 of #365DaysOfGratitude - January 7th
Today I am grateful for getting the food shop delivered. The freezer is full again and it has made it feel like a Friday. I have been lost with what day it is for the past 2 weeks.
Day 8 of #365DaysOfGratitude - January 8th
Today I am grateful for a nice tea of sweet & sour chicken balls, chow mein, egg fried rice, spring rolls & salt & pepper chips. Home made, not a takeaway so saved a small fortune too.
Day 9 of #365DaysOfGratitude - January 9th
Today I am grateful for a lazy day and Netflix. Doing nothing much is a great way to prepare for a new week.

Day 11 of #365DaysOfGratitude - January 11th

Day 13 of of #365DaysOfGratitude - January 13th
Today I am grateful for a quiet, stress free day and that finally people know that Meena is a psycho on Emmerdale. Finally this storyline may end. I do love her though, she's hilarious!
Day 14 of of #365DaysOfGratitude - January 14th
Today I am grateful for a walk out in the sunshine even though it was still icy and almost slipped on my bum many times. It was a real mood booster. Having lunch out was a bonus treat too.
Day 15 of of #365DaysOfGratitude - January 15th
Today I am grateful for the NHS and an amazing nurse who made Ellie feel at ease for her MRI scan. She pulled her mask down so Ellie could understand her properly. Ellie doesn't rely on lipreading but it does help especially when she is speaking to people she doesn't know. It's the little things.
Day 16 of #365DaysOfGratitude - January 16th
Today I am grateful for Netflix. I finished Better Call Saul and started on After Life which is fantastic!
Day 17 of #365DaysOfGratitude - January 17th

Day 18 of #365DaysOfGratitude - January 18th
Today I am grateful for finding bargains in the reduced section of the shop. Got a few things for the freezer and some cakes.
Day 19 of #365DaysOfGratitude - 19th January

Day 20 of #365DaysOfGratitude - 20th January
Today I am grateful for learning random facts. Ellie was doing her science homework & we found out that Platypuses don't have stomachs. You learn something new every day!
Day 21 of #365DaysOfGratitude - 21st January
Today I am grateful for my dad and the random things he has stored away. I found these little beauties in a box of shoes and boots. Ellie has wanted some Dr. Martens for ages but I've been reluctant to buy her any with her feet still growing. These have hardly been worn and look brand new after they've been polished!
Day 22 of #365DaysOfGratitude - 22nd January
Today I am grateful for new hair. I've gone back to red. Not the best photo and my hair is still wet but it's worked out well.

Today I am grateful for a lazy Sunday. It has been lovely doing nothing.

Today I am grateful for the end of January! This month has lasted forever!
What were you grateful for in January?
I have a purple amethyst that has the word Gratitude stamped on it. Each night I hold it in my hand and say what I am grateful for. I am grateful for the mild weather for this time of year and things slowly getting back to pre-covid normal.
ReplyDeleteI love this! I usually do this for the month of November and have always thought it would be great to keep up for a year. It's such a positive way of looking at life.
