October was an OK month, not great but not terrible either. We had some real life things going on which were a bit of a worry for a week or so but we moved past it and enjoyed the end of the month. The clocks changed and that has taken some getting used to. At the moment I am enjoying it being dark at tea time but give it a month or so and I am sure I will be complaining. hehehe
I have seen many people on social media list something every day that they are grateful for and thought I would join in. I did this for the whole of the last couple of years and it has really made me realise that even on the bad day's I have something to be grateful for.

What were you grateful for in October?
Enjoyed reading this! What a great discipline to look back on things for which to be thankful. October held a variety of joys for you- I hope the cozy month of November holds even more :). You and your youngest look like TWINS!! Identical twins. Great pic of all three of you!
ReplyDeleteI’m sorry to hear that October brought some challenges. I pray that all is well. Those cinnamon buns look absolutely amazing. That’s a lovely photo of you, my friend! I love that you are choosing gratitude even when life gets tough. We always have something to be grateful for.
ReplyDeleteYou are a very grateful person ! I would have replaced the word by "happy" or "content" or "relieved", especially for garden work ! I dyed my hair too this week, but I wasn't grateful, I was happy, that it was done !
ReplyDeleteGreat list - some self-care, fun times with family, finding the extraordinary in the ordinary.
ReplyDeleteThose cinnamon buns look fabulous! That's one of my favorite things to eat. I love the sunset pictures, too. It seems that autumn always has the most beautiful sunsets!
ReplyDeleteOh those cinnamon buns look delicious! Wow look at the sunrise (sunset?-- either way it's gorgeous!). It sounds like you had many things to be grateful for this month. I LOVE when I have help with the housework.
ReplyDeleteI loved reading your list of gratitude!! And thanks for the photo of your red hair!! It's so great of you and your girls! I enjoyed your post, Kim. Have a good weekend!!
ReplyDeleteGreat list and love that picture of you with your girls.
