Life is always the biggest rollercoaster, and no matter what, there are always peaks and lows, and there have definitely been more lows than there have been highs as of late. But I’m determined to turn that around, I’m not going to let this stop me from getting to where I want to be, and to not have my anxiety under control.
Having a list of things to be grateful for, is definitely something that has helped me lately. So if you’re going through a difficult time, or you’re just having a down day, then this post is especially for you!

I love all of the different things you are grateful for! All of the little things make a big difference. It is important that we are aware of our surroundings and that there is actual good. Sometimes, life isn’t the best but the bad will pass :).

Finding just one thing to be grateful for a day is a wonderful way to smile when all else seems grim. I am grateful today for the wonderful leaves I raked up to enrich the garden bed soil, and the hands I have to write. Most of all, I am grateful for the cool breeze that smells of spring and the yellow of daffodils!
So many small everyday pleasures we can all take for granted here, thank you for reminding us all to appreciate them. Cuddles with my dog are definitely up there for me x

I love this. Thank you for writing something so positive and uplifting during this difficult time.
Despite the anxiety I currently feel, I also feel incredibly fortunate to have such a lovely network of friends, loved ones and new neighbors in my life. I’m also so thankful for the blogging community for reaching out to one another and showing so much support. I hope this continues long after the virus passes.

There are so many things to be grateful for, first of all the fact that we are not on a war and we just need to stay in. It isn’t simple but every morning we have to remember all these things, we are alive and this is a gift.

What a great list! It’s the simple things in life that get us through times like this. Thanks,
Thank you for the most amazing tips.
It is so important to stay humble and happy and true happiness really comes from the small items.

Walking in the night with only the stars as your guide!

I love this! It makes me so happy to read this when everything and everyone is so stressed. Thank you so much for sharing this.
I’m also grateful for the NHS since my mum was a nurse who loved her work and they also helped save her when she was diagnosed with cancer. I’m also grateful for you, wifey, since you’ve really helped when I’ve had a struggle so thank you!!
I’ve really needed to read this post today. It’s been very stressful and tearful recently but you’re so bloody right, there’s so much to be grateful for! The NHS will forever be in our debt!
What a brilliant post – THANK YOU!

Definitely things to consider during lockdown – love these
Awesome list! I’m grateful my family is in good health, that we have technology to keep us all connected even though Ireland is on full lockdown, and I have creative outlets to keep me occupied during quarantine. Thanks for reminding us of the importance of gratitude.
A really heartwarming read, so good to focus on the positives.
