Gratitude

I recently seem to be in a place where I am able to be thankful for pretty much everything.  Even the hard stuff, where learning is to be found. But mainly for the good stuff which I have in abundance.

I’ve been reading a book set just over 100 years ago, where working conditions were harsh and trying to stay alive a relentless struggle. My life is nothing like that. And so when the water falls hot out of my shower, when I get to eat something  delicious, and especially when I get to cuddle my children, I am feeling incredibly grateful.

Last night we had a bottle of fizzy grape juice with our meal – it’s something we usually have to celebrate. Last night I wanted to celebrate the fact that we are alive, together, and life is good. I shall be taking more opportunities to celebrate those things. Hope you grab each opportunity to do so too.
