It’s so easy to become wrapped up in the drama of life most days….

But there comes those moments in life when you take a step back and realise everything is going to be okay.  That you have so much more to be grateful for, than the things you complain about.

Gratitude is the fairest blossom which springs from the soul.
Henry Ward Beecher

So today I have taken some time out to think about and list all the things I am grateful for, so that when I have one of those days I can read my list….

I am grateful for….

• Amazing family that is very support of me and always there for me.
• True friends all over the world that respect me and no matter how long we don’t see each other for, when we do see each other then it’s as if we have never been apart.
• A job that I am enjoying, even though I bitch about long hours I keep reminding myself I have a really good job and there are many people without a job.
• For all the travelling I have managed to do, the breath taking views, the experiences and history I have been exposed to.  And all the travelling I am still going to do.
• The little luxuries that I can afford, the spa day trips, the new handbag, new heels – I realise that some people do not even have a home or food.  But it is very important to treat yourself if you work hard and deserve it.
• That I have moved on from past experiences and not let them strangle my soul. Yes, shit happens but that is life. Having the strength to dust myself off and pick myself up and move forward is a gift I am very grateful to have.
• Good health… well as good as it can be J

Just making this list already makes me feel more positive and fills me with energy to move forward to bigger and greater things.

What are you grateful about?
