Day Thirteen: Attitude of Gratitude
I could be more grateful. I am grateful for my life, my health, my family and friends, my job. It's the little details I get caught up in and somehow I let them eclipse everything else, until all I can see is irritating details.
Here are the things I am grateful for today:
- My body and the way it carries me around, the fact that I can walk, talk and breath and I live in a pain free way
- My job, for it brings me money and a car and the ability to improve my skills
- The kindness of the people at the cocktail function I worked at this evening, who were all extremely nice to me
- My ability to write, and I am grateful for Chris Baty (creator of NaNoWriMo and all round cutie) who created a great program to kick me into gear with my novel
- My dogs and how much joy and happiness they bring me
- The availability of good fresh food, and my ability to buy it
- The people I work with who make me laugh
- My Mum and her unrelenting support of everything that is me
- My 46 year old bird (he's a pink and grey galah and his name is Cocky, or The Cockster if you're a close friend), just for being around and being himself
- To the muses for inspiring me
- For all my books and my love of reading

Lovely list - I like your old bird! And the thanking of the muses particularly.
I love how you list included the material things the non material things the people the events and the relationships, thank you for sharing.

Absolutely lovely :)
Beautiful! And I love that animals are all around you. That is so special about you, you know. It adds even more to your beauty.
Thank you for sharing what you are grateful for... it is amazing what comes up when we ask ourselves that question. Blessings, Nicole x
In my gratitude journal, I almost always seem to list the "little things." Materials, moments and feelings.
It helps me notice beauty more often, and feel the "big things" as a side effect.
Thank you for sharing you list, and that you thanked the muses.
Give thanks for being able to share such beauty and words.
