AN ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE

Our lives consist of moments, hours, months and days. Every day we experience something new and unfortunately we have to say goodbye to some things. Change is what life is all about. How does one cope with change in a positive way I asked myself, especially if you are the kind of person who finds security in things remaining familiar and the same all the time. Well, gratitude and sharing your thankfulness on a daily basis could be one way. I have heard that being grateful and appreciative for five or more blessings on a daily basis will begin a journey of awareness and wonder on our paths. No matter how tough our lives are at that moment this will help us to find the sunshine and bring new enthusiasm.

My five for the day:

I have a wonderful family who loves me...they are all healthy and happy and live meaningful lives.

What a priviledge to live in the beautiful, Cape Town and to be able to use all my senses to appreciate the magestic Table Mountain and the beauty of my surroundings to the full.

My friends are hugely supportive in all I endeavour and are there for me during the ups and downs of life. Some have been part of my life almost forever! However, there's always a place in my heart for new ones.

I have a home with a sweet garden and a bookshelf full of books.

I am thankful for my little silver car that never lets me down and takes me where ever I want to go.


Count your blessings today!
