Fun

I had fun getting drunk with a friend,
chewing the fat as husband would say, saying nothing of consequence but enjoying the blather,

I have a pub within 5 mins walk, the ability to walk, to drink, to pay for my pint,
mates to drink with...

a home to come to, & ice-cream in the fridge!
& heating, & clean bedding, & safe water to drink...
..so many things I take forgranted.

Day 1 - sufficiency

I've started a gratitude challenge with kindspring.
Day 1 "sufficiency - what do I have enough of?"

today I am counting my blessings friends-wise.  In terms of making sure I'm ok, & keeping me entertained.  There is so much I can mention, from having enough bedding to always have a set clean (as long as I keep on top of the washing) to having enough time & space & resources, & enough hobbies to keep me entertained.  I have enough money to pay the bills, & a big enough garden to have bunnies out there.

There are so many things I take forgranted.  I have enough time for all I want to do, as long as I choose my activities wisely.  I have enough brains to get me through another degree.  Enough clothes, enough energy, enough sleep, enough, enough, enough.

I have enough, & I am thankful for all of it :-)

remembering

I am happy to remember this blog.  That I awoke in an amazing mood & it prompted me back here.
Reframing:  snoring as an ancient protection from wild animals.  Even in his sleep husband is keeping me safe ;-)
Smart phone & wifi so I can stay warm & cosy in bed & surf the net & catch up with friends on forums.  The weekends so there is no rush to arise...

Monday

• did some tidying up, always a pick-me-up ;-)
• gave the bunnies sprouts as a treat, they're so funny to watch.  Big one running around with one in her mouth to find somewhere "safe" to eat as, in which time little one was getting well stuck in.  Bedtime treat to put them away in the hutch, & big one's at the far end of the run.  Fail ;-)
• actually thought of something I wanted that my mum can get me for Christmas.  Should start a list for when people ask.
• am safe & warm in my cosy house
