Celebrating 2023: A Month of Gratitude – Day 8

My home is my safe haven. My son and I have lived here longer than anywhere else. We have had a lot of firsts here and lots of highs and lows. My home is does not look perfect but it is where my son and I get to be our perfectly imperfect selves every single day. I love my home and I am very grateful for it. I am also grateful that I can afford it in these very turbulent times. I am thankful that I made it through another year in my home.

It’s also 3 years this month since I bought my car. I thought the novelty of driving her would have worn off by now but I still love it! It is such a zippy little car. I am grateful to own the car that I do and to still be able to have fun driving it.

Celebrating 2023: A month of gratitude – day 6

Hello again. Welcome back. Can you belief that it is 18 days to Christmas! I need to get my Christmas tree up! Have you put yours up yet?

Today I am grateful for my newfound confidence. I have spent my whole life second guessing myself and not believing that I was capable of great things. Clearly God had enough of it because He has sent me people over the past year and a bit who have helped understand that:

  • No-one is perfect
  • Perfection is over-rated
  • It’s ok to make mistakes
  • I belong in rooms and spaces I find myself in.
  • I am worthy of all the good things God has in store for me. I have been limiting Him.

A bit late to figure this out but rather late than never. I am very grateful that I have.

Celebrating 2023: A Month of Gratitude – day 4

Today I am grateful for my health. While it is no where near perfect, I am mobile and I am still keeping my blood sugar under control 🙌 so that is already a lot to be grateful for.

My weight has not improved yet but I know I will get there. When and how you ask? Well I guess I will get there when I am ready to. For now I will continue to be grateful for all that I have and love myself as I am.

What I do know is that when the weight leaves, I will be locking that darn door and throwing away the key!

Thanks for joining me on this little journey. Until tomorrow…au revoir!
