Daily: Reflect on 5 things for which I'm grateful.

1 – Feeling so happy and content within myself and my life as it is that I struggle to think of things I would improve to create goals for 43T
2 – That the last month of healthy eating and exercise has given me so much more energy and vastly improved my mood
3 – Being loved unconditionally
4 – Sitting in the chilly blue sunshiny morning with hands wrapped round a hot mug of tea
5 – That start-of-the-weekend feeling, when Monday seems a million miles away…

• Being excited about getting trained for my new job next week and having butterflies about it
• Choosing to walk to the shops because the sky was blue and the sun was shining
• The fact that the good weather seemed to put a smile on everyone’s face, lifting the mood of everything around me
• Hot chocolate
• Laughing virtually non-stop watching Frankie Boyle’s stand-up DVD – I love his wicked sense of humour

• The closing of one door and the opening of another in my career makes me happy, excited and very grateful (if a little sad too – I’ll miss a lot about my current job, especially the people)
• Actually having time to lose myself in a good book
• The experimental alchemy of cooking and the satisfaction of it all turning out delicious despite a whimsical “grab it and chuck it in” approach to seasoning
• The big bubble bath I’m about to run for myself
• The advice from someone who understands where I’m coming from. Thank you, you’ve given me a lot to think about…

• Cocooning myself in the marshmallowy softness of my duvet for the whole morning in what will likely be my last long lie-in for a while
• The rather delicious dreams that thrilled and entertained me during this time (oh my!)
• The oh-so-cool bento box I found for my work lunches with its pleasing red and blackness
• An evening spent watching dvds and eating not-strictly-detox foods (oops!) with friends
• Finding my diamond earring which had fallen off earlier in the day on the edge of one of the steps on the stairs, phew!
