Reasons to be Cheerful - Keeping it in the day (week 29, year 3)

I'm still living in limbo, surrounded by boxes avidly waiting to move and praying the house sale goes through - it all takes time and is very good at helping to me to learn patience and also to trust in God.

When I was thinking about #R2BC this week and what I might theme it around I realised that I needed to redevelop my 'attitude of gratitude' and as such I went through Wednesday with my eyes wide open spotting every opportunity to say thank you to the Lord for all the good in my life.

Here is a list of every blessing or opportunity I saw to see Grace in small things -

• I woke in a comfy bed, after a full nights sleep and next to me was a softly snoozing little beauty (Miss E, the girls are sharing my bed at the moment as a treat as Daddy is not here)
• The kids all got ready for school in good time and we were there early enough for a play for them and chat for me
• I got some more packing done and I would say the house is now at least 90% done
• The sun is shining brightly and as such my washing is drying super quick
• The change of address cards have been sent to our relatives and friends
• I did anther charity shop drop and now some others can benefit from the girls books and puzzles that we gave away
• My chicken salad wrap for lunch was super yummy
• I got a load more free boxes for packing I treated myself to an electric screwdriver to take the beds apart tomorrow (it's all rock and roll here)
• The estate agent chased up our buyer and things seem to be on track
• I bought all the cards I need for the August birthdays, nothing like getting organised
• A gift card I was waiting for arrived and I treated myself to a couple of things at Debenhams in the sale
• Watching JJ and his class in their little music performance, a 15 minute interlude of calm
• Watching the kids have a water fight in the garden before their shower, they love this so much
• All the kids falling asleep with minimal fuss tonight
• Watching the Apprentice final and seeing the Luisa did not win
• Getting an early night myself

I can't not mention the great weekend we had with dh as well and we so look forward to being back with him full-time in a couple of weeks.

Blogger of the week

This week I'd like to shout to a great blogger that I met at BritMums Live this year. Jo blogs at Ojos World and she had been linking up to #R2BC for some time now. One of the things I have loved best about reading jo's blog is her very evident love for her husband, married for over 20 years, they appear to have a very strong and real marriage.

Join in.....
If you are new here, welcome.  Do go and have a read about why I started Reasons to be Cheerful and what I feel the key to happiness is. This is a very inclusive linky, it does not come with lots of rules. I just ask for common courtesy, write your post and link it up, say hi to me and then comment and say hi to a couple of other linked up bloggers. They should hopefully come and visit you too and we are all happy - comment love shared all round. I promise to get to you all this weekend, I'm afraid life has been manic and I missed you last week.

Wishing you a wonderful week ahead.  Mich x
