It’s Monday and we are still here!!

Yes I always count my blessings.

Thanks for this thread Cossy, with all that is bad in the world is nice to think of what is good 💐

Yes to books, presently rereading sense and sensibility, such a joy as the nights draw in.

5 things

- the health of my husband and I is generally good
- the grandchildren are all well and doing well
- both daughters now husbandless but not unhappy about it
- we don't have any money worries
- warm comfortable house

This is a good thread , but most of us will say the same thing - family, friends , health, money .
It will be more fun, interesting, if we had a ‘grumps thread’ - 😂
Anyway here goes :
