I am shifting my focus this afternoon on to happiness. I am resting at home on a lovely spring afternoon… The wild plums in my backyard are in full flower at present with gorgeous white blossoms, soon when they fall Jasper will wander in with his fur covered in fallen blossom petals, that will be a sight to behold.
I am feeling the lift of the spring sun though its cool inside.. this is my gratitude list for today.
My health.. I am actually in good health when I stop worrying so much and creating anxiety symptoms from things that don’t calm me but make my symptoms worse.
My beautiful garden and quiet safe street, I am so lucky to live in a street that is so low risk surrounded by lovely neighbours, even if the ones next door are presently absent due to building a new house.
The Sun.. today it is shining down and making life look dappled and majestic.
Music and dancing.. what else can I say, they just lift my spirit
Poetry and books.. I love reading poems and have some lovely poetry collections to browse… I also have a few really interesting novels on the go.
A cup of tea and a brownie with cream.. yes I am going indulge myself this afternoon with a little treat.
WordPress ‘family’..you may not consider me your family but certain followers of mine hold such a special place in my heart and I am so appreciative of the chance this site affords us to read the thoughts, creations and inspirations of others as well as offer and receive such wonderful support or contributions on posts we share.. thank you!!
My furry friend Jasper snoring behind me.. What can I say like everyone I believe I have the best dog in the Universe sharing my life.. he puts up with me in all weathers and brings me such joy.. I would just be lost without him.
So what brings you joy and gratitude today?
