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.
In September I was grateful for:

What were you grateful for in September?
I admire how you keep this going! It looks like you had a very exciting September!
ReplyDeleteI love this post and it is something you do everyday. I may start to do this as you say even on a bad day there is something to be grateful for
ReplyDeleteHi, Kim. I couldn't image doing the grateful 365! Knowing my self, I'd miss a day here and there. I will see how I do with my 31 days in October! My Weight Watchers meeting was on gratitude. That is what gave me the idea to track. And one of my 101 in 1001 goals was to practice gratitude for a month, any month other than November.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your September in review here on your blog. Thanks for sharing!
Take care and best wishes.
This is a great idea!
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely things to be grateful for. I am so grateful for my mum's help and surrounding family and offers of help in September. xxx
ReplyDeleteSo many wonderful things to be grateful for! I always mean to do this and then I forget. I chuckled at being grateful for not having to wear a bra. Hehe I totally agree! I love your Saturday morning routines with Ellie, how special!
