3 things I’m grateful for today are…………
- Being away with my daughter for a few days and the weather being great for the beach!! We’ll be hitting the waterslide park tomorrow too…………I’m such a big kid!!
- Everyone that shares on the forums………..reading everything and sharing with everyone helps me to stay on top of my recovery
- Getting my lawns mowed yesterday. They hadn’t been done in three months and I feel sooooo much better having them done. Seeing them when I walked out the door this morning just made me smile and in a better space mentally

Re: 3 things to be grateful for
Love reading these lists @JMJ and @PnorkelPW.
Today I'm grateful for...
- Being so incredibly backed, supported and valued by my workplace.
- Being looked after when I let go of things and don't attempt to control the outcome when I'm in difficult situations.
- Cuddles and a movie with my son and my partner.

Re: 3 things to be grateful for
@ScorpionPW I can see a lot of commonality in the things we are grateful for. I also have a really supportive and caring manager and a wonderful partner. Having important people like that in your life can really make a big difference hey.

Re: 3 things to be grateful for
Keeping it simple,
- I'm grateful to be able to read a book and actually get to the end of the page or a book and KNOW! what I have read and not have to re-read it 5 times, because I can't retain anything.
- My gorgeous husband who believes in me and everything I do.
- Breathing in the glorious fresh, sparkling air and knowing I am striving to be the best possible me.
Stay strong my friends xo

Re: 3 things to be grateful for
Today I am grateful for:
- Cuddles and movie night with my man last night. Still feeling good about that.
- Zumba class tonight. I love to dance.
- Finally having organised myself, it's taken a couple of weeks, but now I've got the things to do planned out for the next few weeks which is making me feel less stressed.
