Hi everyone!!

Here I am again, talking to you in this blog post, and I hope you’re all doing okay? I’m feeling fairly positive in my life today which I definitely feel thankful for. I know that some days are just alright, then you get days that are truly awful and then you get days that are wonderful where you don’t want it to end. Our outlook on a day can vary due to something that has happened/is happening, or even just by a state of mind. I think it really does help if you can find the goodness in each day no matter how small it may seem as it can give you a glimmer of hope and strength.

The first thing that I’m feeling thankful for is that while we are on lockdown, I’m finally being able to do the things that I’ve wanted to do such as starting my new Makeup Artist Diploma course. For the last few years, I have been wanting to do a makeup course and I finally have found one that is suitable for me and my needs. I did see a course at a local college a few years ago that was a one day thing but it was too late by the time I saw it. Then it wasn’t on when I last looked into it so patiently, I have been waiting to find another one. This one that I have started is by New Skills Academy which is based in the UK and it is all online based and is actually only 20 hours long, but it doesn’t matter how long it takes me as I can pace myself as much as I need to. I have already completed the first module which I’m proud of myself.

I’m feeling thankful that I’m able to see my friends doing well in the things that they are doing, seeing them happy and enjoying whatever it is they’re doing, makes me feel happy for them. I love to see what they’re doing, and seeing their progress coming along.

I know I haven’t listed three of my gratitudes but I’ve decided to write this blog post over two days instead of just one day.

Today has been a busy day for me and to tell you the truth, I feel completely done in. Exhausted and my troublesome areas are not playing fair on me. However I can’t complain because it’s been a lovely day. Me and my dad had been busy doing something which will be revealed soon in an upcoming video, the outcome was fab and I’m so thankful for my dad helping me.

Then my sister picked up some lady things for me and kindly bought me some of my favourite chocolates as well. We were talking to her through the window and it was so good to see her in person. Again, I’m very thankful.

I’m in gratitude for my mum just being lovely company, showing me what knitting she’s been working on and talking about some telly shows that we’ve been watching together when we eat our meals.

I’d love to know what you have been thankful for, please do share them with me. Anyway, I’m going to leave my writing for today and hopefully post again soon. Thank you for reading and take care. Stay safe at home!!

Love Katie aka DinkyKt ❤️
