I just turned 27 and I thought I should write 7 things I am grateful for. An attitude of gratitude is always a great way to approach life. Thus, I thought what's better to start a fresh year than appreciating all the blessings in my life so far?
1. I am grateful for my physical health. It might sound trivial, but having spent a large portion of the past year feeling let's put it as not exactly my best I can't help but feel happy for every day that I can get on my two feet and walk and grow and walk and grow.
2. I am grateful for my mental health. I am grateful to be able to smile again, to be able to hear laughter steaming deep from my lungs. I am so lucky to be able to feel joy again, to joke, to let go, to be happy.
3. I am grateful for my family. For they all have taught me, and are still teaching me, different lessons throughout my life. Family bonds are strong and fragile at the same time and it can be extremely hard to find balance sometimes. In the end I realised how important it is for those bonds to just be present, so that both parties get the chance to grow through them.
4. I am grateful for the wonderful people around me. I think words are not enough to describe how lucky I feel to be surrounded by such loving, caring and amazing people. I feel blessed to have formed such beautiful bonds of love and I look up to every single one of them.
5. I am grateful for the health and happiness of my friends and family. I am happy to see all of them living such unique and happy lives. I enjoy seeing them grow and turn into the people of their dreams. I get a lot of happiness from their personal successes and happiness and I am so proud and grateful to witness all the beautiful changes and growth happening in them.
6. I am grateful for the abundance of everything I have had in my life so far. I have been lucky enough to have never lacked anything of importance. Life has showered me with an abundance of amazing people, of love and chances to fulfil my dreams and I couldn't be more grateful.
7. I am grateful for that day that I was almost hit by a car. Well actually this happened more than once- mom if you 're reading, forget I said this, but I am so glad I am alive and able to appreciate life!
Thanks to all of you who took the time to think of me on my special day and reminded me that I am so lucky to be able to love and be loved. You really filled my heart with joy and warmth.
I wish you all a wonderful month!
