    Hello everyone,

    Hope you're all enjoying this beautiful Sunday. It's time for some gratefulness ahead of the week. :o

    3 things I'm grateful for:
    1) The new plants I brought home this week - they've really lightened up the space.
    2) Being in Australia - despite restrictions, we're still in a much better place/position than so many other countries.
    3) The men of my life - dad, brother & besties that are always there for better or worse.

    What are 3 things you're grateful for @Menz199 @Anita44 @pamela @Kevcollingwood @Damaged_Armour @Paris196563* @Panta @Panda21 @CS1963 @ryan1019 @Roys59 @NeverKnowMe @FatherFabian @Nikki123 @Jimap @Hollymonster @ExhibitA
    All the basics we take for granted.

    Loving family.
    Food on the table.
    Roof over our heads.

    3 things I'm grateful for:

    1. My health, especially my mental health, since stopping gambling, I've been able to think a lot more clearer and be more positive about life in general.

    2. Again my friends and you guys, it's always nice knowing that people are there for you and when you need it and you don't have to face your battles alone.


    3. Like @Damaged_Armour has said, the basics. A roof over my head, food on the table and that I still have a job in these trying times.

    Hi @Lovely Cat Lady

    3 things I am grateful for:

    1. Work- one of the lucky ones to still be working with no real impact
    2. My family and friends- a great support network always
    3. My puppy- she is a handful but so much fun!

    Have a good week everyone!

    1 - Family = by far the most important thing in my life
    2 - also living in Australia. Having travelled a bit I often see how lucky we are
    3 - Health = we have a few things in my family, but I know of others who do it alot tougher than us!

    Although its winter, I'm grateful for the mild weather we had here in Sydney which allowed me to apply multiple coats to the back deck because of a reduced drying time.

    I'm grateful for the relative peace in my house considering the amount of time we've been locked in here with each other.

    I'm grateful for filtered water
