A Month of Gratitude 2024-Day 8

Hello there! Today was a good day! I had a great sleep last night so I started the day on a good note. It just got better from there.

Two Things I am Grateful For

  1. The first thing I am grateful for is definitely the great sleep that I had. I guess one doesn’t quite appreciate the value of a good night’s sleep until you have a bad night.
  2. I spent the evening at the Trail of Lights with my best friend and our sons. This has become our tradition and an occasion that we treasure. The light display never disappoints, but this year, the food did, unfortunately. Below are a few pics that I took of the lights and two that my son took of me.

    I picked up the fruits of my son’s online shopping today. He was so excited on Monday when I said he could choose some clothes on my app. He was away this weekend so I made sure I collected his orders so that he could open them when he returned. I love to see his delight when I surprise him.

    That’s it for today. Thanks for popping by. I hope you had a great weekend and have one thing you can be grateful for today.

    Bye for now!

    A Month of Gratitude 2024: Day 7

    Hello there. Sleep was not my friend last night. I think I drank too much coffee too late in the evening and I paid the price for it. I tossed and turned like a leaf in a gust of wind. Needless to say, I was exhausted and didn’t get as much as I wanted to do. I still have things to be grateful for, though.

    Two Things I am Grateful For

    1. It’s the 52nd anniversary of my parent’s wedding day today. It’s a reminder that I wouldn’t be here right now if it wasn’t for them getting together. I am so grateful that they did. I am who I am because of them. They were such different personalities, and their marriage was by no means perfect, but they were united in their goal of doing the best for us in the best way they knew how. I couldn’t ask any more of them than that.
    2. As I mentioned before, I was really tired today. Thankfully, my son spent the day away, which gave me the chance to just be. I do pray that I have a really good sleep tonight, though. Being lethargic is no fun.

    The delivery of my online purchases. I know, it’s actually quite sad because all it was was cat food and sunscreen, but I sometimes forget what I have purchased, and I get a thrill just opening the boxes. Today was one of those days.😂

    What are you grateful for today? Thanks for popping by!

    A Month of Gratitude 2024: Day 6

    Hello Hello! Phew, the first work week of December is done and dusted. Mine ended on a high note as we had our end-of -year team build session today. It was such good fun! That’s where I will start my moments of gratitude for today.

    Two Things I am Grateful For

    1. I am grateful for today’s team event for so many reasons.
      • It was a very active so it was a much needed workout. My mind and my energy feel clearer.
      • The day was spent with a great team of people, many of whom I consider my friends.
      • I received a Lush scrubee as my secret santa gift and I tried it out this evening. It was a a great sensorial experience! I really love the fragrance as well.
    2. I am also grateful that I was able to accomplish all that I set out to do this week at work. It was a tight squeeze but, with the help of my team and colleagues, I did what I needed to do and a little extra. I am really grateful for my team and colleagues. Without them it would not be possible to do my job to the best of my ability.

    Today was a big day for my son. He successfully completed his first babysitting gig. His little customer and his customer’s mum were very happy with his service. My heart is bursting with joy and pride as I sit and watch him grow.
