Tuesday.

 Today is day one of my gratitude to humanity, the world and all living creatures.

I have so much to be thankful for.

I have plenty to be sad about I know, but I also have lots of daily happenings that manage to give me a feeling of gratitude, of still being alive.

I am grateful for family, primarily extended family on this day.

I visited a beautiful niece, her husband and their two children whilst they are holidaying for a few days in Bright.

I had such a lovely time with them all and even though I was exhausted following the walk we did along the river that runs through Bright, it was a day of warmth, sunshine and laughter.

We had lunch in Bright, ice cream in Bright also, then I left for home whilst they continued their holidaying.

I was fortunate enough to drive home safely, go to the butchers and the supermarket before making my way home to my dogs and little cat.

I was energised enough to hang some clothes out on the line , feed the animals then feed myself and for the rest of the evening, vegetate until bed time.

I will brush my animals again tomorrow as they have missed out for two days in a row and now I have begun to

brush them all somewhat carefully, I don’t want to mess up the pattern and get out of the habit.
