A month of gratitude: Day 19

🌼I am grateful for my love of reading. Books have been my companion at my loneliest of times. They have transported me to wonderful places, amazed me and amused me. They have educated me and given me food for thought. In this past year in particular, they have helped me find my faith and get back on track. Thank you to the authors of every book I have read and to those of the books I have yet to read. I am grateful for my love of reading. 🌼

A month of gratitude: Day 18

🌼I am grateful for this day. It’s been one more day to spend with my son. One more day listening to his wacky jokes and just enjoying his company. A day of new experiences and of meeting and working with new people. Exchanging knowledge and experiences with them. Shopping for friends and family for Christmas. Today has been a good day. I am grateful for this day. 🌼

A month of gratitude: Day 17

🌼I am grateful for my strength and resilience. I am a single mother who has raised my son virtually single-handedly for the past 10 of his 11 years. I have a limited support system where I live. To be honest, I don’t even realise how strong and how resilient I have to be until I listen to people who have their families and partners to lean on. When I see the person my son is turning out to be despite the lack of “perfect family life”, I am so grateful for God’s guidance. Everything happens for a reason. I am grateful for my strength and resilience.🌼
