Good morning!
Good morning to you!
It's Halloween - do you celebrate, or is it an American holiday to you? If you do celebrate, what will you be doing? For me, it means turning the porch light on so the local kids know they can come and trick or treat at my house. I have the chocolate ready!
Today, I'm going to be grateful for my Mum and Dad. They're in their 80's, and I know that I'm so lucky that they're still here and quite well. Although, they both have the 'flu at the moment - I wish I lived closer so I could go visit and check they're ok. Mum and Dad don't really understand my mental illness, but they've always expressed their love and pride in me, which has been really supportive in my life. They have at times been very frustrated and not understood, but as we've all gotten older have been more tolerant.
I'm also grateful for these absolutely beautiful Spring days. It's so lovely outside, the sun's shining and the birds are singing. I'm so fortunate to live where I do and have so many opportunities offered to me.
What are 3 things you're grateful for today? Whatever you're doing, enjoy yourself!
JRMum.
