    Grateful that my son says his low mood is 'just because he is tired'. Hopeful that's he is telling truth.

    Those sticky things that allow you to reseal packs of Ham.

    Well I am grateful for the following - being healthy, having enough to eat, a roof over my head and feeling content with life.

    Yeah, I'm grateful that they never work. Me I just love dried up ham. Can't get enough of the stuff.

    I read Padraig Pearse's poem "The Fool" today for the first time in years. I'm grateful for all the people who struggled and suffered for our freedom.

    Grateful to have so much in life, a happy and healthy family, a modest but very nice home, a well paid job.

    I was moaning a little during the week about not being completely fulfilled at work, spoke to a neighbour today who hasn't worked in 6 months made me reflect on what I have.

    €50 at 6.4 Leicester to be Manchester CIty returned €270.
    and €4 at 170 Leicester to win 3-0 (result was 3-1) returned €95 (sold a bit early). The 87th minute goal stopped me winning another €520.

    And the birds and the flowers and stuff.

    That my granny-in-law celebrates her 90th birthday today.

    That nobody will remember in the morning my awful singing tonight.

    That I could remember the words of a few ballads and songs, because nobody else fcuking could!! :pac:


    That I will have forgotten about tonight by the morning...

    My MS has been playing up a bit recently and I am suffering with fatigue and not sleeping properly so I am very grateful for the four hour nap I had earlier. I am even more grateful for the fact that my fella doesn't care that I haven't showered or gotten dressed today!

    When did the sun ever give us heat? It was bitterly cold today.

    Today, my bed, which helped with my migraine. And the new Chinese takeaway place that opened round the corner. Very fine Beef Kung Po.

    I got to slam the door on an FG canvasser who tried to shirk his party's responsibility for the property tax. Made my day.

    I'm grateful I don't have pneumonia or lung cancer or 5 days to live or any of those things I've been convincing myself I have for the last few days. Flu is the worst.

    It's not really. Everything you mentioned in the first sentence is far worse.:D

    I'm very grateful that I have my cousin relatively close by to me when everyone else is scattered around the place. He's my best friend and I don't know what I'd do without him to shore me up when times are tough and to take me down a peg or two when I get too big for my boots, and give me a hug when I need a bit of TLC like I have recently. He's one in a million.

    Especially when he's not snoring or playing xbox all night in the next room and keeping me awake. And when he doesn't stagger in drunk and clatter around the kitchen like a bull in a china shop. Or hog the only bathroom all day after eating stupid things for a bet.

    I was looking at my little daughter asleep after reading to her tonight.
    She makes me so happy

    The thoughts of hiring out a bike on hols and hitting the mountains of Spain

    Spring on the way ..... The thoughts of planting fresh lettuce etc
