mum inspires, gratitude, Thankful Thursday, 52-Week Gratitude Challenge

Hello mums, it was a lovely yet hot Thursday afternoon. I was caught up with all the mid-week chores while finishing the little one’s reviewer for his Fourth Quarter Exams but I am grateful I found the time to sit still for a while and share my gratitude list with you. At the same time, I am also catching up on the 52-Week Gratitude Challenge, so I will be sharing a couple of gratefuls from their prompts in a bit.

Here are the things I am thankful for this past week:

  • Mitch Albom’s Have A Little Faith {a tear-jerker I was able to finish last week}
  • lazy weekday afternoon spent with my little one
  • spending quality time with my loves  :heart:
  • yet another surprise in the mail
  • new books
  • summer!
  • fresh produce from the grocers
  • lemons, guava, and a host of other citrus and summer fruits
  • Human Heart Nature haul
  • quiet weekend afternoon at home
  • sinigang sa bayabas  :bowl:
  • more earning opportunities for my blog
  • new work-from-home opportunity
  • the dawn of a new day
  • my generous neighbors
  • catching up with a dear friend who is miles away
  • Facebook for allowing me to keep in touch with friends abroad without having to shell out a penny!
  • the birds chirping outside and the ones who occasionally venture into our window panes
  • the beautiful blooms in the neighborhood
  • for Pinterest {I could spend an entire day browsing for birthday party ideas and gratitude quotes and beautiful calligraphy works if left to my own device}
  • for like-minded people I am fortunate to know
  • the simple pleasure of watering my plants in the morning
  • my coffee-maker

And to catch up on the 52-Week Gratitude Challenge

It is Thanksgiving week and I send shout outs to our friends living in the US and in Canada, may you have more reasons to be thankful for today. Even when we do not celebrate this lovely holiday locally, there is no reason to stop being thankful and offering simple but meaningful thanksgiving to everything and everyone who makes our life easier, wonderful, and more meaningful.

my lovely new notebook from Kidzania. the screw driver pen is equally cute and it reminds me so much of “The Mechanic” 😉

And since it is Thanksgiving, I thought it would be fitting to list down a bunch of my thankfuls, especially that I missed out on my #ThankfulThursday post last week as I was busy attending a nice event, which I shall tell you all about in another post. Meanwhile, here are my thankfuls for this week {and last week, too!}:
