October 2023

Autumn is here and I realise that I stay indoors a lot more these day, I suppose the hermit life sings to me. Reading back on October's gratitude journal I realise that I've been obsessed with food! I suppose we are now a vegetarian household so finding and trying out new recipes is now a [...]

September 2023

So we are now in Autumn and September has been a bit of a mixed bag. Work has been super busy and I've been pulling super long hours; yet when I read back on my gratitude journal it doesn't seem to be a major issue - the main thing is that I've been able to [...]

August 2023

It seems like August was ages away, but I have been super busy, so this gratitude journal is being published a little later than planned.

Reading back on my daily gratitudes, it appears I have been super grateful for food and drink! Subsistence to help get me through [...]

March 2023

The first quarter of the year is over - how time really flies! Reading back on my daily gratitudes, it appears that I've been grateful for more than one thing on most days.
