Gratitude #38

#38 #gratitude #gratitudepoem Sometimes it can feel like we don’t have a lot to offer to the world, and in the face of a crisis like this, we can say, ‘what can I do?’, ‘how can I help?’ Well the government has reaffirmed what we can do- Stay at home, Protect the NHS, SaveContinueContinue reading “Gratitude #38”

Gratitude #31

#31 We’re in! It is so light and beautiful here. Up on a hill. It’s a bungalow (curve ball for me who has always dreamed of a Victorian terrace) and there is a view to die for. Tired now so today’s poem is short and sweet! Now to spend a long time settling in…#gratitudeContinueContinue reading “Gratitude #31”

Gratitude #28

#28 Thankful for my little bundles with me on the raft! The longer this goes on, the more it feels like this is causing a seismic shift in our society, that it is changing our lives forever, there will always be a before and after. But maybe that’s not such a bad thing. #gratitudeContinueContinue reading “Gratitude #28”

Gratitude #26

#26 I love my Mum to bits and today I am thankful for her. I find it so hard to put into words what she means to me. But here is a start. It’s a funny old day today, another ticked off the list of many at home it seems, but love holds theContinueContinue reading “Gratitude #26”

Gratitude #25

#25 Our house. (I make no apologies for completely ignoring what is happening in the world at the moment, just homing in today.) We moved here 6 and a half years ago, and then it felt a bit like our lives fell apart when Ivy was diagnosed with T1 diabetes, but we got back upContinueContinue reading “Gratitude #25”

Gratitude #24

Gratitude #24 I hope these poems aren’t coming across as too glib. I know this is such a difficult time for so many entrepreneurs especially, who are seeing a drastic change in their income and livelihood.

Gratitude #22

#22 Had to dig deep for this one today. There are always little things to be thankful for. And even if they seem small cast against the great grey mass of cv which seems to loom over us, the truth is that this shall pass, and things shall go to how they were before, butContinueContinue reading “Gratitude #22”

Gratitude #20

#20 We’re on lockdown. Ben had a temp on the weekend so that’s us now, self isolating for 14 days! 😳 The good things are: a) I don’t mind being in! b) Ben’s symptoms were very mild so if it was cv and the others get it, hopefully won’t be too bad. c) One ofContinueContinue reading “Gratitude #20”

Gratitude #18

#18 Not the most gratitude-y of poems today. Everything is a bit unknown. But all we can do is all we can do. And then we have to just have hope that this will all pass like a bad storm and dream of summer where we will be warm and go for walks by theContinueContinue reading “Gratitude #18”

Gratitude #16

Gratitude #16 Coronavirus can do one. Earlier today, I listened to Boris saying that we could lose loved ones and felt a pang of despair. And yes these are scary times. But we have to say no to fear. Just keep going, wash our hands and be sensible. And then we went out to ourContinueContinue reading “Gratitude #16”
