I am grateful for @The Mix  


What are you grateful of today?

“And when they look at you, they won't see everything you've been through. They won't see the **** that turned to scars that began to fade with time. They won't see the heartbreaking things that shook up and changed your entire world. They won't know how many tears you cried or even what it was you were crying about. They won't see how strong you had to be because you had no other choice. What they will see though is how compassionate you are because you experienced pain. What they will see is how kind you are because you experienced how cruel the world is. What they will see is how good you are because you've seen how bad things or people can be. The difference between you and your experiences are who you choose to be, despite everything that could have turned you cold and unkind.You are the good the world needs and the best of us.” ~ Kirsten Corley

    We are so grateful for Postre Hotel caterers and local bakery Gelabert Panaderia & Pasteleria for producing under contract savoury tarts, sweet cakes and buffet produce for our private hotel since our catering staff went sick. One couple went to hospital from a car accident so we had to get caterers in to feed our 40 guests. We've also got 2 bands to entertain tomorrow night, the weekend ll next week. Our weather being horrible means we are under obligation to our guests and not let them down even if it eats into our profits. Since I was up at 4 am, now I can return to bed!

    I am very grateful to Jose, the oldest son of the Spanish family we gave refuge at Sant Llorenç. Throughout yesterday he replaced the heavy terracotta barrel tiles our roof from last week's storms and also rebuilt our new greenhouse, reglazing it this morning with polycarbonate safety glass. Talented, polite and trustworthy, he's also very good at accounts so we decided to employ him full time and give him a car.

    I find I'm not particularly grateful for anything, and that I take a lot of things for granted. Living like you automatically deserve things and have entitlements isn't particularly enjoyable, or fair, compared to working hard and earning it instead.

    I'm grateful to this thread for reminding me of that.
    A very self aware comment! And great thing to realise. 

    Think a lot of people are the same. I used to think “i dont enjoy anything in life” but then realised there are many things i would hate if was removed from my life

    Definitely agree there!  Was having such a terrible time last night But my partners dogs cheered me up,  even if I couldn't use chat because the youngest laid on my laptop and licked my fingers while another cried 😂 

    I am also super grateful for my partner as usual and the times I get to see him even if they are brief x

    And @Millie2787
    For being there for me last night 💕

    Hoping it surfaces tomorrow to get out 😂

    Today I am grateful for the lovely lady at the b&b I was at yesterday, my friend from school and gymnastics as I could use that as an excuse to get out the boring place me and my mum were at.
