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 years, 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:

1. I am grateful for my children and my wife, their health, their vitality their spirit of love and generosity.
2. I am grateful for long runs in the woods, that are alone and quite and full of fresh air and good smelling tress.
3. I am grateful that we have found a renter for our house for our next years adventure.
4. I am grateful for readers who read my work, and share it with others.
5. 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.
6. I am grateful for my sister and my mom and my dad, who love me so much.
7. I am grateful for hot coffee in the mornings.
8. I am grateful for sexy kisses from my wife in the morning who is still with me despite my facial flaws.
9. I am grateful to have financial success and a great job.
10. I am grateful to be able to wake up and have the possibility to make the world a better place.
11. I am grateful to be on my to finishing a book that will hopefully help support us throughout next year.
