Day Five of My Daily Gratitudes

What Are My Gratitudes Today?

Hi everyone!!

Welcome to my daily gratitudes blog post which is now day five and again, I think I missed yesterday but that doesn’t really matter. It’s when I do do them is what matters! Today has been a nice day, just like yesterday. The one thing I was grateful for yesterday is being able to see some of my family on video chat. 🤗

I can’t believe it’s been a week since I spoke to my GP, time flies, especially when you get the days mixed up like I do, which I did before the lockdown anyway. It’s just harder now because as I watch some of the soaps on the telly, it helps me to differentiate the days by what is on each particular day. It’s not enough for me to remember what day it is by looking at my calendar on my phone or on the kitchen wall, as watching the telly is visual. Thankfully my pain levels have eased a little at times but it’s still there, and sadly it will always be there for me. At least I know I’m alive by feeling the pain and it makes me stay determined to keep doing what I’m doing and working on making my goals come true.


Anyway, I’m going off track so let’s get back to talking about my daily gratitudes.

My first thing that I’m grateful for is my little niece, Ciara. We’ve all been talking on FaceTime and I love seeing them on my screen. You never know what Ciara is going to say or do, and she can be very entertaining whether it’s her showing us her doing some yoga or what she’s playing with. It’s definitely good to keep connected during this lockdown.

You might laugh when I tell you what my second gratitude is for and that’s something simple such as cheese on toast. When my dad last went food shopping, he brought some of the ready sliced cheese and it was perfect. I struggle with cheese when there’s too much or too thickly sliced with my tummy. It makes it so much more even and definitely saves times for my dad. I managed to eat all of it which is good for me. It’s definitely the simple things in life!!

I don’t know who knows that today celebrates the Backstreet Boys 27th year of being together as a band, 20th April 1993. You might not even really care and that’s fine but I do, and this is my blog after all. Ha ha!! Whilst growing up, I wasn’t as invested in them as much as I am nowadays. Happy Birthday Boys!! I’m so thankful that I’m a part of their fandom who many of the fans welcomed me into it with open arms. BSB have helped me through some difficult times in my life, their music and personal experiences spoke to me, and helped me to see what I’m capable of in life. We all go through tough times whatever they may be but you will always find a way through. I will forever cherish the memories that I have from my time on their last two tours which will forever be with me. I’m extra thankful for AJ and his wonderful wife, Rochelle who have personally helped me along a few times.

What are you thankful for today? I wonder what tomorrow will bring, thank you for reading this blog post and I hope you will see my next post soon. Take care.

Lots of love to you all,
Katie aka DinkyKt ❤️
