I have decided to start a gratitude journal, and to make sure I do this I figured I would do it here on this site.
They recommend 5 gratitudes, but today I have a few more.
I just had to have a cancerous lesion removed from my nose. So I have been sulking. After last year’s facial laceration I could hardly cope. Now having this deep dime-like scar on my nose has been devastating.
But I am reading a short “blink” on a service I love called “blinkist”.
This blink is about positivity. And one of the first recommendations was a gratitude journal, so here goes, this is day 1.
What I am grateful for:
- I am grateful for my children and my wife, their health, their vitality their spirit of love and generosity.
- I am grateful for long runs in the woods, that are alone and quiet and full of fresh air and good-smelling trees.
- I am grateful that we have found a renter for our house for our next year’s adventure.
- I am grateful for readers who read my work, and share it with others.
- I am grateful to have the functions I do have. Like the ability to walk and talk. I am not in a wheelchair. Yes I have some facial scars but not everyone has deserted me.
- I am grateful for my sister and my mom and my dad, who love me so much.
- I am grateful for hot coffee in the mornings.
- I am grateful for sexy kisses from my wife in the morning who is still with me despite my facial flaws.
- I am grateful to have financial success and a great job.
- I am grateful to be able to wake up and have the possibility to make the world a better place.
- I am grateful to be on my way to finishing a book that will hopefully help support us throughout next year.
