Day 2 of Three Things I’m Grateful For
Katie Wearing • April 16, 2020
Continuing My Gratitude List

Hi everyone!!
So today, we’re on day two of my daily gratitude blog post and again, like yesterday, I’ve had a good thorough thinking session about what I’m grateful for today. It doesn’t matter how big or little the gratitude is as long as I’m feeling the gratitude, just like it will be for you.
Today, I have felt alright compared to yesterday, as long as I keep using what I need to ease my pain and struggles. I’ve pretty much spent the day watching the telly but my appetite hasn’t been great. This is something that I’m not going to stress myself about and I just have to hope that I will eat a bit more tomorrow instead.
The three things that I’m grateful for today are as follows:
1. My sister for enabling me to be able to make a special something happen which I might update you on once it’s all sorted. It’s definitely a feel good thing though.

2. Yesterday, I wanted to share some news but I had already listed my three gratitudes for the day so here I am, telling you about it now. Locally to where I live, there’s a Safari Zoo and as everything/everyone is on lockdown, the zoo has had to close until it’s safe again. Many of you who follow me and know me personally know that I have a special fondness for zebras. So, with thanks to the zoo, I’ve been able to adopt my own zebra. I look forward to hearing from it and finding out it’s name, etc. By me buying this adoption, it is enabling the zoo keepers to look after the zebras and all the other wonderful animals that live there. I’m awaiting to hear from the zebra and I will let you know all about it when I do hear from it.
3. I’m extremely thankful for all the NHS, and all of the key workers out there. You all do an amazing job, putting your heart and soul into what you do. I’m proud to have done my clap with the pan and spoon. Thank you!
What are your gratitudes for today? What do you think of mine so far? I thank you for reading this blog post and I will see you in my next post, take care!!
Love Katie aka DinkyKt ❤️

Hi everyone! As many of you who follow us over on our Facebook page Dinkykts EDS Diaries, you will be aware that we are coming up to 10 years since we began, back in February 2013. So slowly, we are looking back on the positives of our campaign work. I believe in celebrating these milestones and why not?!! While the odd bit of Dinkykts EDS Diaries has received bits of help from various individuals, the majority has been done by myself (Katie) so anything that has been done is incredible. I know that we haven't done huge things, what we have done is wonderful and I am proud. Looking back, we never did manage to organise a family fun-day and that was one of the reasons why we began this campaign but due to the nature of having a rare disease like Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, you just never know what life throws at you. Perhaps in the near future, we can actually organise a family fun-day? Hopefully this time, I won't end up in hospital (twice) haha! I have always wanted to go out in the community, whether it's going into schools, colleges, medical panels or having a stall where I meet random members of the public and raise awareness, and hopefully fundraise at the same time. I did get a taster of going into classes at college when I attended my local sixth form college and I really enjoyed it. We will be showcasing whatever we do on our YouTube channel as that's our main focus of awareness work. We also have the whole month of May to do lots of things as that's EDS Awareness Month and we want your ideas/suggestions! So definitely more highlights to come in 2023 and beyond!! Love DinkyKt
