    So, this finding gratitude is not as easy as I thought it would be  :)
    Today, I’ll be grateful for the rain that soaked me on the way home from work today, as I decided I wouldn’t need a coat or umbrella. Grateful because there are many drought ridden countries who would be so grateful for some rain.

    Always good to hit another landmark @angelicious
    I’m similarly counting down, having recently gone below £3K outstanding.
    PADding really helps. Seems like a really good habit to me as bit by bit the debt creeps ever lower.
    Keep going and we will get there!

    Today I’m using sport for a bit of gratitude. Sport is not important in the scheme of things but my very average football team, Bristol City, won 4-1 away to a generally much better team, Sheffield United. So, for maybe one week only, I can look forward to the forthcoming football season with optimism  :)
