A Month of Gratitude 2024: Day 10

Hello hello! How is it going in your corner of the world? It is so very hot and humid in Durban right now. I think most of South Africa is experiencing a heat wave, but that’s December (or Dezemba as it is affectionately known in South Africa) for you.

Two Things I am Grateful For

  1. This morning I woke up to dry taps! 😱. There was a burst pipe on a nearby road. Dry taps on a hot and humid morning that is also an office day…not fun at all. Thankfully, there was water when I got home, so I got to enjoy a cool shower. Can you imagine how grateful I am to have running water again? There’s nothing like a little deprivation to make you appreciate what you have, don’t you think?
  2. I was scolling through Instagram earlier and came across an inspirational page for women. The page left me feeling energised and bursting with confidence. Growing up, I always thought boys had it better than girls so I wanted to be a boy. That only really changed after I had my son. I started enjoying being a woman and today I am extremely grateful and absolutely delighted to be one. I love every aspect of being feminine. There is not only beauty in it but there is also strength. I now appreciate our differences to men and celebrate them. Being a woman is a blessing and I am grateful to be one.

We found my son’s lost textbooks! It was a team effort between him and I but we eventually found them in a bag that we had both looked through previously. Don’t ask because I don’t know how we both missed it. 🫣. We only found it when I began transferring the bag’s contents to another. We were ready to do the dance of joy when we found them!🀣

On that joyous note, I shall love and leave you. Thanks for popping by. What have you been grateful for today?

Bye for now.🌼

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.

Thanks for popping by. Let me know in the comments what you are grateful for in the comments.

Bye for now
