Let me first of all apologise for last night's blog!
I lay in bed last night, thinking about it, and I almost got up to re-write it! It was dull and boring and negative!
I must be honest, it is getting harder to find something to write about, something to be grateful for that I have not already said! But, after I went to bed I was thinking how stupid of me to say that things seemed too trivial to write about here....that's what this is SUPPOSED to be about! Being grateful for the little things! So, I ask you all to please accept my apologies and blank it out of your memories. It won't happen again...I hope!
It was a cold, wet, grey, miserable day today. So I decided to be grateful for the little things as I walked home from work, hood up against the cold drizzle.
I have a warm jacket with a hood. It is warm, the hood stays up, and it suits my figure...style and function! (How often do you get that?) My job does not involve working outside. I have a job! I have a pleasant walk to and from work. I have a home to go home to! The daffodils are out and shining a beautiful yellow, even in the rain. And they look as if they are playing peek-a-boo with passing pedestrians, from behind garden railings. My boots are comfy and warm.(Maybe not so "hot" on the style front, but hey...I like 'em!) When I smile and say hello as I pass someone, hurrying, head down into town, they smile back...take one and pass it on!
So today I am grateful for all the little, and not so little, things that I have to be grateful for.
Gratefully yours.

I liked last night's blog! Especially the full stop bit at the end...don't be so hard on yourself! xxx
ReplyDeleteI liked last night's blog too... It made me think that I should be more conscious of what I'm grateful for at the end of each day! Xxx
ReplyDeleteI'm with Mags & Kirsty - I think reviewing your day is a really useful thing to do, for the good and the bad things! I've written a gratitude journal at bedtime for years - just a list of 5 things I've been grateful for that day. And yes, sometimes it gets a tad repetitive! And sometimes when it's been an exceptionally grotty day, I skip it! You don't have that little luxury with this project, so expect there to be days when the Muse is absent, and know that on those days we'll be gentler on you than you'll ever be on yourself xxx
ReplyDeleteI don't know how you think of things every day, wait till you get to November! xx
