Some of my city garden pots in a chilly Dublin today. Petunias, pansies, blue lobelia and some of my herb garden

Good morning. I think if I didn’t have the pure love of my grandchildren, I wouldn’t manage the rest of my life’s dramas. When a pudgy hand reaches up to mine as we walk, when they scout around my kitchen to see what I’ve baked, when they run to me or herself for hugs. My heart ♥️ #DailyGratitude

Been away from here for a while, tangled up in a family bereavement and all that it entails. Thankful today for my family joined in grief, and for my health, which I never take for granted #DailyGratitude

Seething with fury this morning so I’m now sitting outside trying to calm down. And the sky is blue and the lake is sparkling and the grass is cut. It’s gorgeous. Glad to be alive , to be able to feel my anger 😡 and to let it go….. #DailyGratitude

Stunning day in the Northwest. Blue lake blue sky and pink hues on the mountain. And the silence .. no cars trains or planes. Just the low hum of a tractor and the bleating of sheep. God’s own country #DailyGratitude

Woodland walk today. Wild garlic is out. Robins in full-throated song. With all the goings on in the world, a walk in the woods in spring is a tonic. #DailyGratitude

A howling gale and perishing cold. Typical February night. I am so lucky to be sitting beside a wood burner in my pajamas with a good book. Such a joy to be inside looking out and listening to the wind in the chimney. #DailyGratitude
