Everything's doing well so far @Breez-RO. I can't wait to start harvesting more - only the tomatoes are ready now. I was a bit late planting this year.

Re: Today I'm grateful for...

Today I'm grateful for the local wildlife that likes to visit my balcony. Specifically one particular cockatoo who likes to sit there and stare. He has no fear of humans, you can talk to him, yell at him (when he eats things he shouldn't), pat him, feed him or attempt to chase him off and he just sits there calmly until he's ready to leave.

 

(Oh that we could all be so calm and self-assured)

So I know that it can be really hard to find the positives some days, especially when we're going through a rough patch.

 

But, I thought that I'd invite some of our newer members, to let us know what they're grateful for, even though they might be going through a tough situation right now.

 

Would @Shadow@Helpless@Worried_1967@Aquilina@Ilovemichael@bradyblend@FollowAriadne would you like to join us?
