I'm not often one to be openly grateful.
My life seems to go by in such a rush of working and parenting and 'wife'-ing that I rarely seem to find time for navel gazing, inward smiles or just being.
I wasn't always like this. Probably just since my Mum role got overwhelmingly unbalanced and the 'me' within didn't have as much time to shine.
So I am really grateful this week for the opportunity provided to me by Maxabella to host this empowering linky of gratefulness and thankfulness. This weekly tribute to contentedness and happiness. It gives me the opportunity to spend my weekend sharing in your stories of appreciation and love and my heart is swelling at the thought.
So for my top three gratefuls this week...
The lovely lady from the florist who has 'old school' customer service and beautiful flowers
My fellow multiple mum who insisted I try out orienteering on Wednesday night and introduced me to another way to make running fun
and
My gorgeous husband (the Geege) who has given up a lot of his 'me' time to allow me more of my own
So, what are you grateful for this week? Just add your I'm Grateful For post below (or drop us a note in the comments) and please add a link back to me/Maxabella in your post. Then pop over to visit other bloggers who are spreading a little sunshine. Happy weekend to you!
Thanks so much for visiting.

I really enjoy taking a look around once a week for all the good in my life. It's lovely to feel positive going into the weekend!
Oh I love the grateful posts too.
Your hubby is gold !
and thanks for hosting!
i have been enjoying the grateful linky so much, it really is having an impact on my week in terms of me remembering to be thankful for what I have got, like you - it didn't seem to be something I did openly all that often
and I still struggle a little with feeling that I sound "cheesey"...but i am finding that embracing the cheese is actually quite liberating!
It's just plain nice...
So glad you have got to have some me time. Mich x
Your husband sounds lovely :) I've linked up this week xxx
So glad you're hosting! For some reason the linky isn't working for me... I will try again later :)

Lovely to be visiting your blog for the first time:)
Don't you just loooove old fashioned service. It really does make the world go round - so do beautiful flowers for that matter!
Great list! I just love husbands and partners who understand the importance of busy mama's having time out too :)
Have a wonderful weekend x
So nice to come and visit you on a sat for a little change!! My hubby gave up his sat morning for me today...but unfortunately it was so I could go to work (ahhh the pocket money is nice though!!)
I hope your house smells lovely with all those nice fresh flowers :-)

Hey host... so nice to see you joining in the weekly gratefuls. I actually think that it's good for the soul and actually can make us happier to be grateful. Love your gratefuls. My best friend has been in orienteering for quite a while. She LOVES it. Hope you love it too. xx
Thank you for stopping by. I was given two bunches of flowers this week and just having them in the house has brightened my mood. Something special about beautiful flowers I agree.
I really liked Andre Agassi's book too. It was unexpectedly good wasn't it? I can't imagine doing something I hated for so long, or so well either. In answer to your question I can't pick a specific autobiography/biography but I LOVE any that are about the Mitford girls and I re-read Alastair Campbell's memoirs frequently.
Thank you for hosting and nice to meet you. Getting me time is so precious, I'm glad you got to have a bit of time to yourself. Have a lovely weekend.:)
So glad to hear you're getting the chance for more 'me' time. And thank you for your comment love and support. I always feel special when you've stopped by my blog. xx
I love 'old school' service...it's often lacking these days.
Lovely gratefuls
xx
I LOVE your blog! You're Hilarious!!!
I will link up to the grateful post later today.
I'm a new follower.
