I started this series of posts last week (you can read that first post here), after reading and inspired by this post (Iād also recommend checking out Beccaās whole blog as well!), to share some things Iām thankful each week – despite the crazy and at times overwhelming situation the world is in at the moment.
Chocolate
Although Iām trying (emphasis on the word ātryingā) to keep healthy during this time, Iām grateful for the fact that we have a bar of chocolate to hand as – quite simply – in trying times like these thereās nothing more comforting than something sweet.
BBC IPlayer
I wasnāt much of a fan or user of BBC IPlayer prior to this but, at the moment, itās been a lifesaver. Weāve already sailed through the two series of Fleabag (as my Mum hadnāt seen it and we were looking for a way to rewatch it), and weāve got two seasons of Killing Eve to watch before the new series starts.
Joe Wicksā workouts
Before this all happened, I had my heart set on joining the gym. Obviously, thatās been put on hold but – thankfully – Joe Wicks has plenty of videos that have ensured I get a gym level workout from home (even if Iāve been following the PE With Joe classes, which Iām definitely not the target audience for!).
The exercise bike
I grimaced and growled at the thought of getting one of these before things got serious but, since then, Iāve loved getting on the bike for a few minutes each day.
The blogging community
Iāve always appreciated the blogging community but I really appreciate them now. Itās nice that I can turn to fellow bloggers to chat about other things, read their posts and get my head away from the real world for a moment.
Finding the funny side
Obviously I know the situation isnāt a joke but Iām grateful for comedy shows, funny videos and little snippets of good news here and there.
Music
Iām glad that, in amongst this, thereās still old and new music to listen to. At the minute, Iām loving Halloweenās latest album and I canāt stop listening to Blossoms.
What are you grateful for this week? Let me know in the comments š
