My Month of Gratitude: Day 12

๐ŸŒผToday I am grateful for Godโ€™s Grace. A new milestone was achieved today. I am so thrilled! Today is also my grandmotherโ€™s heavenly birthday. Strangely enough, I got a free large coffee today because they didnโ€™t have the smaller size that I had ordered. Last year, on the 12/12, my sonโ€™s jeans were free due to an error at the till. Thank you Gran for your birthday blessings๐Ÿ˜‰. I am grateful for Godโ€™s Grace (and my granโ€™s blessings๐Ÿ˜)๐ŸŒผ

Month of Gratitude: Day 7

๐ŸŒผToday I am grateful for our little pets. Hammy Hamster (his name was actually Neymar but we called him Hammy anyway) passed on today. My heart is very sore. He was the friendliest little character. Always shot out of his house whenever he smelt our food. He always came out to say good morning. I guess it was good night for him before he settled in for his daytime sleep.

My son is going to be crushed when comes home from his little holiday. He loved Hammy to bits.

The fish keep me entertained, especially the two black guppies. They chase each other around the tank all day long. I love how they congregate in the corner when they see me coming, hoping for a morsel. You would swear they are puppies with the way they wag their tails. Itโ€™s the cutest thing. I am definitely grateful for our pets. ๐ŸŒผ

Itโ€™s been one week of intentionally being grateful. I really need to do this everyday but in my gratitude journal. I think I will make that a goal for 2021 and see what happens. This has been an awesome 7 days. I have had quite a few pleasant surprises and I feel great. Even the scale dropped slightly after 5 weeks of exercise. ๐Ÿ˜ Gratitude is magic! ๐Ÿ™Œ

Our beloved pets. We lost the Siamese fighter on Easter Sunday.
