In September I was grateful for... #365DaysOfGratitude

I am taking part in Blogtober 2022 and will be writing posts with various themes/prompts throughout October. Today's prompt is: Gratitude list!

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 and I thought I would share here too. I am hoping to continue it for the rest of the year and longer.

In September I was grateful for:

Today I am grateful for good Saturday night TV being back.

Day 247 of #365DaysOfGratitude
Today I am grateful that I double checked that Ellie was ready for school tomorrow. She needed her shirt ironed. I forgot all about that. Oops.

Today I am grateful for a day almost home alone. Becky was in bed after a night shift so I had the house to myself.

Day 250 of #365DaysOfGratitude
Today I am grateful that Becky has 6 days off work! She put in some holidays for her birthday. It will be nice to spend some time with her.

Day 251 of #365DaysOfGratitude
Today I am grateful that I didn't have much to do today so I could spend the afternoon watching the news. It's a sad day and I can't get my head around the fact that we now have a king.

Day 252 of #365DaysOfGratitude
Today I am grateful that we got on the bus just as it started raining. We stayed on the bus for an extra few stops and went to see my dad. Partly because he's my dad and partly because we didn't want to get off the bus and get soaked. hehehe 

Day 253 of #365DaysOfGratitude
Today I am grateful that Becky had a fantastic birthday!

Day 254 of #365DaysOfGratitude
Today I am grateful for a very lazy day. All that's been done is one load of washing with Ellie's school uniform which needed doing. lol 

Day 255 of #365DaysOfGratitude
Today I am grateful that Ellie is knuckling down with revising for her GCSE's without any arguments. 

Day 256 of #365DaysOfGratitude
Today I am grateful that The Great British Bake Off is back on the TV. It's a proper Autumn show and a good excuse to eat cake with a cuppa.

Day 257 of #365DaysOfGratitude
Today I am grateful that I managed to get the living room changed around all by myself. I'm amazed I managed to move the sofa, it weighs a ton!

Day 258 of #365DaysOfGratitude
Today I am grateful that I managed to fix my dad's phone! God knows what happened with it but a Factory Reset sorted it,

Day 259 of #365DaysOfGratitude
Today I am grateful for omelette sandwiches! I wouldn't have thought of putting a mushroom omelette between two slices of bread until my dad made me one for lunch! 

Day 260 of #365DaysOfGratitude
Today I am grateful for Paddington Bear. We watched When Paddington Met the Queen and then the Paddington film.

Day 261 of #365DaysOfGratitude
Today I am grateful that the grass in the back garden has been cut. It was starting to look like a bit of a jungle out there.

Day 262 of #365DaysOfGratitude 
Today I am grateful that I got to watch a bit of history. I am not a fan of the Royal family but they did so well today. They must be exhausted. 

Day 263 of #365DaysOfGratitude 
Today I am grateful that today has seemed like a normal day after the last couple of weeks. Stu at work, Ellie at school and Becky out with her friends. I feel like we might get back into a proper routine now.

Day 264 of #365DaysOfGratitude 
Today I am grateful for Stu's bonuses from work. The gift cards that he's getting are paying for Christmas.

Day 271 of #365DaysOfGratitude 
Today I am grateful that Becky has a few of days off work! She might actually get her new desk put together.

Day 272 of #365DaysOfGratitude

  3. Lovely and interesting gratitude list for September. Like you I was grateful for a quieter day to sit and watch all the news and funeral etc. It is hard to get our heads round the fact we have a king now. I think in September, I was grateful for a couple of last warm, sunny days xxx
