Gratitude

What positive emotion do you feel most often?

I’ve always been grateful that alongside John Curry and Robin Cousins, these two helped to change the face of ice skating for the UK. I saw all their live shows and I just love them.

I’ve always been beyond grateful for my cats. I have so much love to give and they give so much back.

I’m lucky to have amazing friends, and I always thank God for them. I include my groups in this. But Kim, Luke, and Katrina, really need to be recognised for their sheer patience. 🤣

On the other had this pretty much explains them too:

I love flowers, but sunflowers are my favourite. They always remember to turn their face to the sun. The are the only flower to grow to the height of a man. They have 7 leaves, 52 petals, and 365 seeds. I don’t know who counted them, but I’m grateful they did.

My family suffered damage generations ago that drip fed into my generation. But I’m still grateful for my family, and even though some relationships didn’t stand the test of time, I’m grateful for everything I had with those people when it was good. There’s a difference between not being able to go any further with someone, and not loving them.

I also have my inherited daughter and her family. A bonus I never expected.

Yep I’m grateful for ratbag too. He used to call me his little bucket of dung when we first met. It’s that kind of relationship. We don’t do romance we do real. Thirty-four years of it so far. Yet no one has sent us a medal.

I only met this lovely guy a few times, yet his recent passing hit me like a sledgehammer. He had the sort of decency and kindness this world needs more of. I’m glad to have been his courtesy aunt. 6’11” of sheer kindness. Jacob Jay Nunn “Too weird to live and too rare to die”, ain’t that the truth.

Gratitude

I could go on: music; tv; rainbows; roses; animals; wild animals; the sun, moon and stars; my Guides; God. Which is a good place to pause this immense list. I’m grateful to be me too, I quite like me. I definitely love me and my body that houses my soul.

Gratitude is the healing emotion. Actively seek things that make you grateful. Really notice the good stuff in life. Keep a gratitude journal of every good thing. Focus on it hard.

It will change your life for the better.

I wish you much to be grateful for.

Best love

If you could say a few prayers for my brother please I would be grateful.
