lots to be grateful for in 2024

i turned 70- i don’t feel 70 but it is what it is

had my 50th wedding anniversary, grateful to do life with my hubby

even though i need tuned up in a few areas, i enjoy excellent health, which allows me to help care for my husband who doesn’t

so grateful i had the time to help my mom in her last year of life, and as difficult as it was sometimes to put her first i have no regrets and lots of good memories

i am going to be a grandmother again

grateful my adult kids all value my advice or are at least willing to listen to my opinion

my son bought the house next door!

i was invited to join a book club – i’ve always wanted to try one

i am still physically able to work my gardening job, although the bags of mulch seemed heavier this year 😏

i found out my medicare plan pays for membership at a health club so i can keep my body moving

hope you all are well

 

 

 

It’s been well over a year and 8 months…here’s my list for today:

1. My kids are having a great year at school. School transition is going well. Little one is not so little anymore, nice to see her having a fun time and starting to take school seriously.

2. My wife and I have been married 19 years. We love each other. She’s so good to our family and she puts up with me.

3. Started a new job almost 3 months ago. I’m really enjoying it. Lots of work but challenging a satisfying. I am so grateful for the opportunity.

4. Happy I have a manager who has confidence in me. Also happy that my manager at my last job showed a lot of confidence in me as well. This made a huge impact on my life.

5. I’m grateful the Xmas break is almost upon us. Looking forward to spending time with family.

6. Grateful I could spend time with my old friends (ex colleagues) on Saturday. It was really nice catching up with them and connecting. Same goes for my evening tomorrow after work with another set of old colleagues.

7. Grateful to have great neighbours. This should never be taken for granted.

8. Grateful for my bros.

9. We had some work done in our backyard this fall. Grateful for having a good and trustworthy contractor.

Remember birthdays we were excited about 13, 21, 25, 30! Then not as much fun you are admitting years are going by !I remember 50 . The black frosting on the grim reaper cake. The Hubby who couldn’t wait to be with friends. The skipped birthdays. The blended ones!

But this a gratitude site not a complaining forum. I have made peace with my birthday.

I love all the greetings. Facebook gathers people from all areas of your life.

Talking to grand daughter. Precious to hear her voice.

A card and gift left on my porch. Card was a tear jerker. Silly card sentimental words .

A rediscovered friend. God sent her back to me as I need her guidance and friendship.

Cake vanilla for me . Chocolate last week when it was Hubby’s.

I don’t look 70. Sometimes I don’t feel 70 but the best thing about 70 is I don’t care.

If I feel like doing it I do and if I don’t I don’t and that’s freedom and for that I’m grateful.
