Today I'm grateful for...

Gratitude/appreciation for the good things that happen in life is a really important part of building happiness. Some of the reported benefits are

  • It’s an instant mood booster
  • You’re likely to enjoy your life more
  • It’s good for your physical health
  • It’s easier to cope with tough times

So I want to practice what I preach and get this started!

 

Today I'm grateful for all the parents who have jumped on to help us start, we couldn't do this without you!

 

Now your turn....

Today I am grateful for knowing a selfless and caring family that are opening their hearts to foster 7 year old twin boys who have had a rough start to life.  These boys now have a fantastic opportunity to experience a reaping and loving family life.

OK I have two for today:

  • i'm grateful I went shopping to get all the ingredients to make a delicious dinner
  • I'm grateful that while I was walking home with my groceries I ran into an acquaintance whose son had very recently tried to commit suicide and I was able to tell him about ReachOut.

Today I'm grateful for my mum and dad who have come to stay for a few days before heading off to the Kimberly coast for a few months. Yes... they are grey nomads!

.... my younger daughter who's today having her 18th birthday party. She's had her ups and downs, but she has turned into a wonderful young adult whom we are incredibly proud of.

I have a loving family, a roof over my head and food on the table. Compared to a huge percentage of the world I've got it made and I try to always remember that.

Just being here. Had a serious fight with cancer 2 yrs ago that nearly took me. All I wanted was to see my children grow up and make their own successful lives . So far I'm still standing and intend to for a long time yet 😎
