my blessings today


I have just been thinking and feeling a little bit lost in doom and gloom, and that really I should be counting my blessings today instead, so here they are:-

I live in a beautiful home.

I have an amazing garden.

I have resources of my own.

I am free.

I live in a democratic society and am free to make my own decisions about life. 

I have a smart, articulate, switched-on son.

I have a dog who is well and healing.

I have a lovely craft room and supplies.

I have good ideas.

I can run and dance!

I have a great mentor.

Today is a good day..........

and on that note I will resume chalk painting my table and look forward to showing you more soon.

p.s. I'm loving this list.

    PS What do you think of the chalk paint ... I've just painted a bed for my little one and I'm not sure I'm really that impressed. Looking forward to hearing what you think ... x

  13. I share your blessings Heather and am so glad that you posted it ... looking at the big picture, we are so lucky aren't we? It's easy to get in a rut of gloominess dwelling on little things that won't matter tomorrow never mind in 5 years time ... I feel a blog post coming on! Thanks for the inspiration lovely lady!

    Love Claire xxx

  14. You are so blessed! It's only when we actually take the time to sit down and count them that we realise. I find counting my blessings (and positive thinking in general) hugely effective in helping with low mood and anxiety, something CBT taught me. I hope you enjoyed the adventures with chalk paint. x
