Being thankful

We don't celebrate thanksgiving in the UK. I think it's a little bit of a shame.

We could all do with a day celebrating all the things we are thankful for.

Some days it's harder than others to see just how lucky we all are.
Days when our frustrations and gloom take over.
Some days it's so easy! We are buoyed up by our happiness and gratitude.

Let's make the buoyant days happen every day. Let's be thankful every day.

I am thankful for being in love.

I am thankful for the pleasure of reading.

I am thankful for parcels.

I am thankful for friends who make me laugh and brighten my day.

I am thankful for coffee.

I am thankful for Meisha, even though she stratched my hand to shreds last night the little monster.




I am thankful for people who care.

I am thankful for flying.
We will be spending NYE in Amsterdam!

I am thankful for internet shopping.



and I am thankful for my eyes, even though they're not perfect.

    You should celebrate with a big turkey dinner anyway.

    We made similar gratitude lists at Thanksgiving -- we went around the table and listed things we are thankful for. You're so right that we should be keeping tabs on our gratitude more often.
