365 Days Of Gratitude. In August 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.

  1. Isn't getting older awful sometimes?! Sneezing and hurting your neck.. my husband threw his back off one day last year tying his shoes! What a wonderful month of favorites/things to be grateful for! Today I'm thankful that our heatwave gave Alec extra time at home since all the schools had 1/2 days.
