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

Sore throat ended up as pneumonia..

but I’m better now,
it’s friday.. at the end of a busy week. For which I’m grateful.

..and for the beauty of a snowy winters day
For a comfy bed.. soon to be met
and a roof over my head when it’s 5 minus outside.

I missed yesterday… sore throat and a temperature. No salsa and a blown out weekend….

• because I know it will go over in a couple of days and there are folks that have it a lot worse.
• that the cupboard is not entirely bare. Feed a cold, starve a fever.
• For bacon sandwiches
• For keeping in touch. That the world knows I’m here; at least the important parts of it
• For sleep… and letting my body get on and fix things.

Back in the office after the holidays… and then out dancing. I met a few old friends along the way.

• it was quiet in the office An easy first day back
• there are such lovely places to meet people so close to home.
• For dancing with someone I’ve not met in ages….
• For being introduced to some new faces
• For coming home happy and ready to face(book)the world :-D

A day working on the boat and a celebratory balloon flight..

• the super present
• the weather… third time lucky for the ballooning
• the chance to take some super photos
• that feeling of contentment
• .. and last but not least for re-discovering my tin whistle..

Laundry, a haircut and heavy rain..

• Facebook… for bringing me nearer to distant friends
• new life in my cyclamen.. sadly neglected while I’ve been on holiday
• my good friend Pål
• the trip that we cancelled.. because it makes other things easier to arrange – and it will come some other time.
• for a warm dry apartment, when the thunder clouds crash like artillery overhead (like now!)

“Zen is your everyday thought”

• Having time to think, and using it.
• Clearing the air with an old friend
• The smile of a new friend
• Learning something new (in bachata)
• Zen, or at least, the book I rediscovered while cleaning
