Why I am grateful this week

Yesterday I wrote a post called: Ways I’ve practised self care this week and I realised that a lot of the things I included on the list, I am also grateful for, so I had to dig a little deeper to reveal what I am grateful for this week.

My best friend

My best friend Lauren is incredible. I’ve known Lauren since High School when we had a drama class together, but we became close when we went to University and did the same course.

Today I was reminded how amazing she is. In the last six years Lauren has been through so much, and I honestly admire her strength and how she has remained a kind-hearted and selfless person.

Her family set up a Survivors of Bereavement by Suicide group when they realised that the closest group in the North East of England was in Scotland. With Lauren’s consent I will be writing about her experience and this phenomenal charity tomorrow. I am so, so proud of her and I think she’s the best!

The cutest puppy in the world

OK, so I included Harley on my self care list. But I am hugely grateful that this little bundle of fluffy joy, has entered my life. He went to a puppy class this evening and learnt how to sit, because he is such a clever boy.

Harley is an 8 week old cockapoo puppy and he’s adorable. My rescue dog Lucky is also warming to having a puppy in the house and I am thrilled because I think they will be great pals.

New nails

I know this is a bit vein, but I absolutely love getting my nails done. I work in an office so when I am typing and looking down all day, it makes me happy to see nicely painted nails.

I also got money off the cost of my nails thanks to a discount card I get through my work, so this made the experience even better!

Thanks for reading! Let me know what you are grateful for in the comments below. Happy Monday!
