    Hello everyone.
    I am sure everyone will be glad to hear this is the last day of my gratitude lists. I usually keep all of these in my head. Near the end of March I was feeling a little out of sorts and decided I should type these out as a hard copy reminder that no matter how bad I think things may be there is always something good.

    At this very moment I am grateful for the following.
    • Awakening to a new day.
    • Being employed by one of the better companies in the area and having a caring boss.
    • Checking my bank account today and seeing my bonus was paid. It gives me a little bit of a cushion which was very much needed.
    • My physical and mental health. It was something I took for granted when I was much younger and something I am grateful for each and every day.
    • The peace and serenity of the morning.

    I will say there were some days where I forced myself to pull it together and get these typed out. I did find once I got these daily posts done I felt much better and was able to put a positive spin on the day. I am not saying every day was perfect, but I think they were better because I forced myself to lean in towards the positive.

    Big hugs to those who have hung in with me. I am officially passing the torch to @Chinkiri! :smile:

    @SuziQ113, you are such an early-bird that, despite being in the same time zone, your gratitude list was always there when I first sign on (before the commute up the stairs) and get my pre-logging done.

    It was always an inspiring start to my day to see your list - and the pragmatic little "rays of sunshine" that made the list along side the "big ones" of job, health, physical home.

    Like the morning coffee, the ice-maker, your vacuum cleaner deal (SCORE!!) etc etc. Those little ones can make all the difference. If I can say "with all this happening around me ... at least I can enjoy / be grateful for [this small scale thing] - it can help prime the pump and lead to recognizing that you have more positives than you thought, if you would only look for them.

    Did you know that you can explore over 2000 of the world's most renowned museums and art collections from home? copy/paste the link to get to the index-page. Where would YOU like to visit?

    ( I will be repeating this in the May What's On Your Mind Today? thread too )

    On that note - despite the rainy day .... I am grateful that there were fresh blueberries and raspberries to be had at the grocery store yesterday. I stirred some blueberries into my morning yoghurt, and the sight / taste as I savoured them reminded me that it is Spring out there SOMEwhere!
