365 Days Of Gratitude. In July I was grateful for...

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 did this for the whole of last 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 we are doing one more thing to annoy our petty neighbour! She had her child shout as they were walking past "You need to cut your grass". Kids don't care about the length of grass so she's heard it from somewhere! It only looks long because our other neighbour cut theirs early this morning. I've told Stu not to cut ours.

  1. It was lovely to read your list. I think it's a very good idea to think of the little things that make your life better, as we tend to focus so much on the negative aspects. xx
