31 Days of Gratitude- Day 14

Today was a good day. My son reached his destitation safely. Our team had a great afternoon together and certain things that had concerned me, fell into place. God just always makes a way. I am so thankful for His Grace. Lastly, it was just a stunning day in Durban today. Of course the thing that would really top this day off would be if Morocco wins their match tonight! I will defintely be praying for them and keeping my fingers crossed. It’s time for Africa (Waka Waka eh eh)! 🙂

31 Days of Gratitude – Day 12

My son is home safe and sound! 🙌🙏. I will definitely sleep a lot better tonight. He is off again in a few days but today we celebrate his safe return!

I just discovered that I failed one of my exams. Not quite a surprise. I guess next year I will have to really focus on it. I enjoy the subject but I just have not enjoyed writing the exams. Next year will be different though.

Today is my gran’s heavenly birthday. She left us 39 years ago but I still remember her so clearly. Her name was Molly. She was small in stature and very quiet but boy was she a strong person. She was clearly an awesome mother too judging by how her kids turned out. I know that she is always watching over us and for this I am grateful. I am also very grateful to her for giving us our dad. We are because she was. 🙏

My late gran, Molly

31 Days of Gratitude: Day 10

Today I am grateful that I had some time to myself. I slept most of the morning away after doing what I needed to do. As a single mum, alone time is not easy to come by. I remember when my son was still a baby and a toddler. I didn’t have much of a support system around me so I had to steal naps where I could. I was so exhausted but I soldiered on.

Now that he is a teen, I still have to steal naps because he will disturb me if I don’t tell him that I am napping first or if I nap for too long for his liking. 🤦🏽‍♀️ In case you failed to notice from all this, I luuuurve my sleep😂 so it’s no surprise that I am super grateful for days like today. Thank you for the opportunity to take an undisturbed nap Lord.
