Well, first thanks for today has got to be for having power and being warm and dry. We should always be grateful for those of course but this Christmas there have been so many stories of people not very far away from here affected by bad weather it's a timely reminder how good being in your own home with everything working can be...
I'm grateful for a long lie in and leisurely bath to bring those pesky joints under control, and for a leisurely late lunch too. Much thanks to Bob for finding the film we wanted to watch online after discovering Sky had removed access to the channel I thought I'd recorded it on.
And thank you to Son Christmas for my many and well chosen presents too! I've never had so many from one person ever I think...and as I've so few from anyone else it's particularly welcome this year. I'm grateful he liked his as well, as it's good to feel you've given the right things as well as received them, as your own taste and opinions influences your choices so easily. Gratitude too for finding out two things I thought were urban myths are true: first that you can use the contents of a tube of cream without checking it's correct (Jointace on an itch...ouch!) and second that you can receive back a gift you've given (see above: with embedded gratitude for choosing something I thought was nice in the first place!)
I'm grateful I've finally cut myself a slice of Christmas cake. It just didn't seem right when I was here on my own, even if the other person says no thanks you have to have someone to ask! Oh and for managing a whole small bottle of Crabbies by myself...it's an even more wonderful life now!
