There are some days when you realise that you have a lot to be grateful for. Today is one of those days. On Sunday I was ill and slept nearly all day, eating nothing. When I got up on Monday I felt so much better and wanted to catch up on everything I had missed. Now I’ll be honest. In recent weeks I’ve been a bit of a misery guts and that has affected those around me too. Sometimes it takes one simple thing to shock you out of your self-pity and make you look around you and be glad. So, here are the things I feel glad about:
I have good health
I have enough money to survive
I have two beautiful daughters whom I adore and who adore me back
I have two amazing grandsons who are the light of my life
I have a husband who would do anything for me and tells me every day that he loves me
I have a father who, although quite old, is in reasonable health and who I can spend time with whenever I like
I have a lovely home with everything I need
I’ve had a rewarding job and seen many generations of lovely children grow up into brilliant adults
I live in a country where I can be free to speak my mind
I have coped with any difficulties that have been thrown at me though happily there haven’t been too many
The sun is shining
I think we need to remind ourselves every day just how lucky we are – not just on a day which comes round once every 4 years.
