Trees

Thankful husband did weights with me, & in the morning is much better.   & that walking on my own meant I took the opportunity to go somewhere more interesting, & I loved being out in the trees.  & it was warm & dry, & the air was still. & I didn't meet very many people.
That he cooked me dinner, & I got a few things decluttered.

fresh start

Glad that each new day is a fresh start, the bad dream I had was soon forgotten.   I have the luxury of being able to stay in bed as long as I want, & of being able to stay up as late as I want
Thankful for my bed, as always.
That chocolate arrived safely to friend.  That my crystal sheets were of use & the photos that were missing have been added & all my pages are now printed.

I got back into decluttering  & tidied a shelf, all progress :)
Husband is cooking more veg to help me lose weight & is helping me with exercise.

Internet

Thankful for the internet, to have access to communication, news, entertainment, services... for all the things that can be done online, & the way so many chores are automated (like bills by direct debit).  That the clock change happens automatically on most things, & I know how to change the time of the remaining items.

Thankful for books, & clothes, & variety in so many things.  That we have what we need in terms of food, & hygiene, & luxuries.  Running water, electricity, the people who keep the country going, binmen, & engineers, & the post, & shop workers, cleaners, & NHS staff...  an endless list of people to thank, & my friends.

Thankful that husband & I have been together long enough to know each other, & to maintain good relations, & that there are no sources of tension.  For all the time I have to spend on things I want to do, & things I would like done.  For being able to get out of bed in the mornings, & having a cosy safe bed to get into at night, or whenever I fancy a nap.

P.S.  Additionally husband was very good & even though he lurked & offered a few suggestions he managed to leave me alone cooking in his kitchen.  Thankful that when we had the kitchen purge I kept the potato masher I like. & the hot chocolate stash I found is still in date (long expiry).

We got out for our walk while it was dry, & I feel better for it.  I'm going to get my 10k steps today.

Sunny

Thankful for the back garden, & some amount of privacy.  For getting on with the neighbours.
For being fit & healthy, the option to be active, the opportunity of the once a day escape.

For plenty in the cupboards, & that there are nearby shops.  For relative freedom, for friends trusting me with a favour.  For options, & entertainment.

Good mood

I feel better today, well rested.
Am thankful for my cosy bed & warm safe house.  For having no obligations & so being able to stay in bed.  For having a variety of books to hand, & for husband's arm around me as I read.  For being in my happy place.

eternal weekend

Thankful that the bunny seems ok, not bothered by the noise of the kids being out.
That I got the unit dismantled & bundled today, & that there are plenty of things I can be doing.
That I could have a long lie in & sleep.  That husband got milk.  That we had a little walk & a chat.
The pears are ripe & I had plenty of fruit today.
