Gratitude Day 1

I AM SOOOOO GRATEFUL FOR:

My quiet home,

Detached,

No neighbour noises.

A comfortable bed,

An electric blanket.

Flannelette sheets - such luxury,

Carpet on the floor, soft for my toes.

Central heating,

Curtains in the windows.

I love the view of the hills I can see from my bedroom,

Surrounded by Green.

I even have a guest room with a spare bed in it;

I am so fortunate.

I step outside and I am not looked over by anybody;

I love my hedge - it's such a blessing.

I appreciate my garden furniture,

always being there for me when I need it.

I am so grateful that bin men come and take my waste away every week.

How lucky I am, how fortunate,

to be able to have breakfast

so easily,  so swiftly,  so cleanly.

Just pour out some cereal into a bowl - so simple.

How delighted I am  to find milk in the fridge each day.

How glad I am that I converted from cow milk to Almond milk and Coconut milk.

How relieved I am that there are no cakes, biscuits or sweets in my house to tempt me.

My cupboards are full of perishable green and brown food from the earth.

So amazingly grateful for my health.

I sit here working on my music recording software, and I have two computer screens before me - how decadent!

I have a mobile phone  AND a landline.

I have a paper diary  AND a Google Calendar.

I even have a spare computer.

I am surrounded by my essential tools, and I am filled with gratitude and appreciation.

And here, on my desk, is a beautiful picture of the One I love, smiling at me, loving me, thinking of me, missing me.

My Life is charmed, blessed, lucky, fortunate, successful, favoured, in-the-gravy.

My heart bursts with joy and gratitude.

I take none of these "things" for granted.

And at the same time, I learn to detach from them, and hold them less dearly.

True success happens inside....
