Every day in my job I cross paths with a very diverse range of people. Today one conversation I had made me really stop and think.
It made me reflect on all the positive things in my life that I am grateful for. The person in question is going through a major life changing situation at a crucial time in their life and handling it in an extremely mature and positive way.
I may moan and get stressed sometimes and I have been known to use the odd obscenity, but I am truly lucky in many ways. I have a close and very supportive family which has many members, I have a wonderful husband and an extremely beautiful daughter. I am fortunate to have several close friends, several of whom I work with. I live in a lovely, albeit small, house and we own our own car. If something terrible were to happen I know there are many people I could call on for help. Finally, although I may find it stressful and struggle in the morning when the alarm goes off, my work does on occasion surprise me and make me thankful that I pursued my dream and succeeded.
Nice one Laura, I think most of us really do have a great deal to be grateful for but which unless something happens to open our eyes we do, for most part, unfortunately, just take for granted.....
