Well it is another day to focus on being thankful because there is simply so much to be thankful for :0)
:: I am grateful for this quote I saw at a farm shop yesterday, where I met a friend for coffee & cake
“Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under the trees on a summer’s day, listening to the murmur of water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is by no means a waste of time” by John Lubbock
:: Despite the continued bleeding issues, I’ve been in a lot less pain this week, usually no more than a couple of hours a day which is a real answer to prayer! Oh the joys of PCOS!
:: I have swam every single day for 5 days in a row and it really does seem routine now! To be able to swim again after a tough few weeks makes me so appreciate my health!
:: I had a wonderful phone call from a friend from Hong Kong who now lives in Canada! We chatted away and it was as if we’ve never been apart! The mark of a good friendship :0)
:: I was able to watch a double bill of ER last night – the episode with Mr George Clooney himself. Oh he is simply divine!! Although when I see him, I can’t quite forget that he apparently slept with his pet pig for years ;0)
:: My nasty cold is just a cold & not a flu! Day 4 today, so really it should be gone in a couple more days! The best cold remedies I’ve found are swimming & walking as well as enjoying yummy carrot soup!
:: The dear blog reader who had a hysterectomy is doing really well as are her young children! I and a couple of readers have been praying for her, so this is simply great news!
:: This week was the 2 year anniversary of Madeline McCann disappearing. I’m grateful that her parents remain strong and continue to search, I’m grateful that they have resources and support so that the search remains and I’m just grateful that they’ve stayed together through this all. I think & pray for them & their daughter often and one day I just pray that my Grain of Gratitude Friday includes Madeleine being found & going home where she belongs!
What are you grateful for this week?
Hopefully you’re cold is gone soon. I’m a big fan of garlicy tomato soup with hot pepper while I’m sick. And a lot of neti potting
A real sincere conversation with a good friend from far away is always a special moment captured.
Have a wonderful weekend living simple! And I am glad to hear that you are doing a bit better.
FT, I so love this blog. You really do inspire people, you probably don’t realize how much!
Glad you’re feeling better, lovely!
Today I’m grateful for beautiful views, a blue sky and the chance to see a friend I only get to see once every 12 months or so.
Incidentally I might now be free on the day of the meet up, so if it’s still going ahead and there’s space for one more can you let me have deets? Cheers m’dears xx
I am grateful for so many things this week. I have to tell you that your blog always makes me feel renewed! There aren’t many blogs out there like yours that focus on health, life, and happiness. Thank you FT!!
I love this Grains of Gratitude feature!
You’re so good about dealing with the pain, I’m in awe. Everytime mine gets to be too much, I try to think of you and your focus on positivity.
You are such an inspiration!
Praying you are feeling much better now.
