Gratitude for a slow Sunday morning

I didn’t sleep well. Therefore, I let myself sleep in so I had at least a few hours’ sleep, but getting up at 9am feels late to me. I immediately felt regret and upset. Like a day wasted. But that’s not fair to myself at all. So let’s correct that negative energy with some gratitude…

1. The soft touch of my husband’s hand on my arm
2. The safe journey home after I drove at night on the motorway for the first time in 10 years of having my license
3. Birdsong in the morning
4. Good friends and easy conversations
5. Tasty food
6. Sundays
7. Gentle breeze on a summer’s day
8. Bank holidays
9. Fresh bedsheets
10. Friendly competition connecting people with games like the New York Times’ Connections, Wordle, etc
11. Foreign films
12. The wholesomeness of the Olympics
13. A fun run in the rain at the park yesterday to be proud of
14. The community vibe and wholesomeness of the park run event in my area
15. A glass of water in the morning
16. All the gifts in each season: summer – energy; autumn – Halloween and colours; winter – rest and Christmas; spring – renewal and my birthday
17. New beginnings
18. How a shift in mindset can change your worldview and mood
19. Lists (something about them makes my brain happy!)
20. Libraries

Now a that’s better ❤️

Sincerely,

S. xx
