31 Days of Gratitude – Day 22

2 more sleeps until Christmas!!! I am so excited! As I write this, I have the Christmas pudding boiling in the steamer. Bright spark that I can be sometimes, I lost track of time, mixed the pudding, put it on to boil and then realised how late it was. Let’s just say that it’s gonna a be a long long night 🙈

I am extremely grateful for the lady that came to clean my home today. It feels so good to be in a neat and tidy home tonight. I am grateful that I could provide her for employment for one day. I look forward to the day that I can do it more often.

31 Days of Gratitude: Day 21

Today I received a few surprises in my grocery delivery. I get a free product ever so often but today I received a free sample of a toilet cleaner as well as a chocolate and 3 Christmas crackers.😁 I posted a pic on my Whatsapp status and discovered that not everyone gets these gifts no matter how often they use the delivery service. Guess I am a pretty lucky lady! I am very grateful for my awesome surprises.

Well that’s it for today. I am super tired because I tidied up my son’s room a bit as it has been driving me insane. I am also having someone come in and clean tomorrow and I want her to actually spend the time cleaning and not to waste time tidying up. That room was in a state! I can’t believe how exhausted I am!😂

31 Days of Gratitude- Day 20

5 days to Christmas! Well 4 days and less than an hour for me 😊. I am so excited! It doesn’t matter how bitter sweet Christmas becomes over time as we lose loved ones, it’s still Christmas and it’s still magical and, I speak for myself when I say that I can’t help but be excited anyway.

It just struck me a few moments ago that I have actually achieved all my childhood dreams already. The one thing I have learnt is that I needed to be more specific about certain details but now that I know better, I can dream bigger and in more detail so that the future will be even better. I left out most of the details when I was younger because I thought I wasn’t worthy of them but now I know that I am so my dreams have definitely improved in terms of their quality …lol. Thank you God for making my dreams a reality. 🙏🙏

I also discovered that I did qualify for a supplementary exam for one of my subjects. So I have passed 3. I have failed 1. I have disputed 1 and am not ready to count it as a failure and, I have one supplementary exam. It’s been a long year and I am not unhappy with my result. Looks like I have to wait one more year before I can graduate but that’s ok. The fact that I can afford to study is a blessing in itself. I would go crazy if I wasn’t constantly learning something new. The thing I am most grateful for is that I passed the most expensive subject! I would not have forgiven myself if I had to pay for that subject again. Phew!
