It's about true heart emotion and feeling that's what must come into play when i'm focusing on the good shit in my life! To see the goodness not the darkness. Like i've said before, i lived in darkness for decades. My whole life was built on the dark side of life... It'd be great to hear what you put on your lists. My new ones are typed on the computer these days. I'm a fast typer, and i can get the words out a lot quicker than writing... but i love all my grat books. They sit on shelf proudly.
Peace :)

I am grateful for...
ReplyDeleteMy vision - that I may read this blog, a newspaper or book, see the sunrise and sunset whenever I choose, or the ocean. That I may see the look of joy on another's face, or sorrow... so that I may offer words of comfort or a cuddle.
My hearing - that I may hear the birds singing, and water flowing, listen to music, hear the memories of my Nan, & the stories of my friends, or hear the conversations of strangers on the train (as I did tonight!) as they navigate this thing called Life I took for granted for so very long.
My bed, duvet and pillows - having been homeless a lot since 17 these things remain miraculous, plus I often do my gratitude list in bed!
The roof over my head - see above!
My limbs - i am in pain every day, but they still get me where I need to go and for that I am very grateful.
My friends.
My sense of taste - that I may experience all the nuances in a good curry! (My Nan has recently lost her senses of taste and of smell).
My iPhone - an addiction, but one that I am very grateful for!
Coffee - a great way to start the morning :)
Not smoking today.
Toothpaste.
Love love love! Thank you for sharing your special Grat list! I think i'll be nicking some of those tonight!! :)
