DON'T YOU LOVE IT WHEN YOU GET A GOOD CASHIER?

I was in a bit of a mood this morning when I went to the post office with Husband. He was being a bit slow, and I got a bit impatient, and when we got to the till, the guy was really patient and nice. And then he insisted we get an ISA from them, and when turned down, he insisted on giving us cashback, and when turned down he insisted we top up our mobiles. After we turned him down for a third time, he said 'oh well, have a lovely weekend' with a huge smile. It made my day.

I am also grateful for:

• Naps
• Not having obligations of any kind
• Houmous
• Sunshine
• Hugs
• Having money to pay the bills
• Being in credit on my utility bill
• My Husband. Again. Always.
• Skype and Msn
• Inspiring friends
• Attendants who make you smile

WINTER DAY

Today I am grateful for:

• Long johns
• A stuffed fridge
• Mash
• Feeling happy
• Surprising emails
• Looking forward to things
• One day less of winter
• Husbands who do the dishes when it's not their turn
• Walks in the sun
• Living near the docks
• Being in the now

APPLE AND BLACKBERRY CRUMBLE

Baking makes me feel calm and happy. It's another way for me to feel hopeful, if only for a small moment. I love chopping the fruit, and sprinkling it with sugar and cinnamon. I love mixing the topping with my hands, and the best part: smelling the house when it's in the oven. The whole thing is so warming and simple. It makes my heart sing. A lot.

Also:

• Sleeping in
• Heating
• Kickboxing
• Seagulls
• Writing
• Newly designed blogs
• Conversations with Abraham (this will probably be on my list next week too)
• Good tv shows
• Concerned friends
• Freshly manicured hands
• New face washes
• Small amounts of snow

WHAT IF I TRY TO DO THIS EVERY DAY?

The whole point of this blog is to feel appreciation constantly, and posting this list once a week is not going to cut it. I am resolving to post here every day, or almost every day. Hopefully I'll remember to do it!

Am grateful for:

• Learning how to make perfect pancakes
• Husbands who design banners for my blog
• A full fridge
• New beginnings
• Clean kitchens
• Singing
• Sunny days
• Libraries
• Time machine
• Fast growing finger nails
• Morning kisses
• Uplifting people
• Good friends that send cards
• Cinnamon
• Smiles

I also realized I've felt grateful for Gordon Ramsay twice. Hee hee.

NEW YEAR

Apparently, I haven't been grateful for almost a whole month! How ungrateful of me, tee hee.

Anyway, I've been in a bit of a slump. Not having a job makes me feel unproductive, which in turn makes me feel a bit depressed. No excuse for being ungrateful though!

I am grateful for my husband. Always. Always for how amazing he is to me.
Also,

• Cake

• Cinnamon
• Hot showers
• Patience
• Layering
