365 Days Of Gratitude. In December 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.

  2. What a great accomplishment to have something to be grateful for all 365 days of the year! My son seemed to go a bit overboard buying gifts for all his friends too and I was also thankful he had his own paycheck to do that with.

  3. I think I might do this. I didn't get a diary for Christmas but i won one on New Years Day so just waiting for it to arrive. I've also decided to review things we do as that will (hopefully) give me more incentive to keep doing them. I have enjoyed reading your entries, thank you, all the best for 2024
