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.

31 Days of Gratitude: Day 9

The day started off with good news on the scale. The number was lower than expected! Whoop whoop! Then I put on a dress I hadn’t worn in a while and there has definitely been cm loss as well! 💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽 I have been working hard all year on lowering that number on the scale and I am finally starting to see progress. I so relieved and very very grateful for God’s Grace.

I ended the day with a dinner and some dancing with friends. I had a blast. It was just what I needed to end off a very long week. I am grateful for the opportunity to get out and about and to enjoy the company of friends. 🌟
