365 Days Of Gratitude. In October 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.


In October I was grateful for:

Day 274 of #365DaysOfGratitude
Today I am grateful for the 1st of the month. Got all the bills paid and did some budgeting.

Day 275 of #365DaysOfGratitude
Today I am grateful that Becky has decided to go with Ellie to see the Taylor Swift concert movie at the cinema. I like Taylor Swift but not enough to listen to almost 3 hours of her singing.

Day 276 of #365DaysOfGratitude
Today I am grateful that Ellie made it home from college, eventually! She had an early finish so went off with her friends for a wander, to a part of Scunthorpe she's never been before and got lost! I can laugh about it now but earlier I was fuming!

Day 277 of #365DaysOfGratitude
Today I am grateful that all my family liked the meatloaf that I made for tea. They have now decided that they do like lamb.
