Giving Thanks

Many years ago, I was watching Oprah and she talked about how important it was to give thanks everyday. She said that she had started a Gratitude Journal where she would write down all the things she was grateful for everyday. She also added that doing this had changed her life. I was all inspired and almost went and started a journal myself. Unfortunately, I never got around to it and even though my life feels overwhelmingly difficult right now, I'd like to show my thanks.

This is what I'm thankful for today (in no particular order):

1. Nick and Ashlee
2. A warm & extremely comfortable bed to sleep in every night
3. The fact that I have never had to go hungry in my life
4. To live in a country that offers so many opportunities to improve your lot in life
5. An amazing network of supportive family members and friends
6. An insulin pump that allows me to live like a normal person even though I have diabetes
7. A six-year-old who still gives me snuggle time, kisses and hugs
