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

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 have done this for a whole year and it has really made me realise that even on the bad day's I have something to be grateful for.

Today I am grateful that I don't have to think about the Christmas food order anymore. I've been online and faffed with it so much today. It's now up to Asda to deliver everything tomorrow. I am keeping my fingers crossed that there aren't too many substitutions.

Me and my girls
