I read a lot of other people’s blogs, it’s the whole blogger community thing.. I have noticed over the years that many people write a ‘Thankful Thursday’ post. They are normally dipping in happiness and thankfulness. Some of it is lovely to read.
Sometimes it’s also the much-needed slap in the face. How i should be happy and thankful and maybe see the glass as half full and not half empty.
This Thursday i do actually have things to be thankful for. Why?
- Because my mum is visiting today for a few days, which will make my children Super happy! And i love seeing her and spending valuable time together.
- Tomorrow is Friday, which means its nearly the weekend. This makes no difference in the parenting world, but it does mean we get to have family time.
- I’m thankful to have friends, admittedly less than i probably think, who put up with me and understand when i have a moan about how my children are acting or about how tired i am.
- I am thankful that my gorgeous four year old loves lots of cuddles and kisses. He even sneaked into my bed this morning for some extra affection!
- I am thankful to my mum who comes to visit and puts up with me and helps with my two little monkeys, despite the fact she hasn’t been too well herself lately.
Here she is with the two monkeys on a day out in the red hot sunshine – We are so lucky to have her.
- I’m thankful that I’m healthy and my kids are healthy.
- I am thankful that I can sit and relax on the sofa knowing that i am up to date with work. I am however sure that will change tomorrow and there will be more to do.
- I’m thankful for the kind friends that are helping me out . Not being able to drive is hard going at times.
What are you thankful for today?
