  • chatting with friends
  • enjoying doorstep visits from family and friends

  • receiving a thoughtful gift from Lauren and the words in the card telling me important I am in her and her sister's lives
  • enjoying Christmas chocolates!
  • reading, and loving, my book choice for this year's Jolobokaflod - Winter Solstice by Rosamunde Pilcher
  • cooking up some tasty meals to use up all the (planned) leftovers

  1. What a wonderful list of reasons to be cheerful and grateful! Too funny about Christmas getting in the way of exercising! :D But, that's just what happened at this end, too - I didn't do my usual 15 minutes of walking, on Christmas Day!

    1. You've summed it up perfectly, Aril. I've found that it gets easier as looking for the positive becomes a habit. Thank you xx

  4. Sounds quite perfect I haven't done any walking for days. I hate rain so rarely venture out when its wet. Love all the reasons you've listed to be grateful for.
