Gratitude time :)

I'm grateful for the meal prep I did yesterday, and also a sleep in.

I am grateful for fast home delivery of groceries, saves my back from carrying and I don't need a car.

Grateful for a roof over my and my family's heads. If you ask this question every day, I will give this answer every day, because I was homeless for a time as a teenager and have never forgotten.

Same here. Glad you're doing OK now.

I am grateful I put petrol in my car yesterday, so today I can drive straight home from work without stopping.

Edit: Bonus gratefulness - the food cupboard had some slightly squished lemon butter pastry things that are really yummy. I am having dessert first tonight.

Grateful Mickey is better.

Grateful that I did mine and partners washing yesterday, so I don't feel guilty about not doing any today haha

Grateful to witness the fog this morning. I could see the city from Brunswick at 8.20am, and when I got back at 9am-ish I couldn't even see the street lol

I am grateful for chocolate, and warm socks. And painkillers.

Grateful for a roof over my head with a fluffy companion

For being able to make music

Having resilience and enough stubbornness not to give up on what I want.

And for the amazing user here that offered to be my reference

After the admin were arseholes again, I'm grateful that I have a guaranteed position if I decide to walk.
After having stayed in shit jobs more than once because there wasn't anything out there, it's such a relief that I do have the option of saying '"fuck this shit, I'm out" if need be.
I'm also grateful that I only have to interact with the office maybe 10% of the time and the rest is with clients.

Grateful for being able to keep warm in this cold weather. I know it’s tough for many people with cost of living, and rentals built like tents where there is no option to improve the place.
