I haven’t stopped to appreciate the wonderful things in life for a long time and I notice the difference in my thoughts, which have been less positive lately. This is my first post here in over 2 years.

Today’s list:

• Family. So happy to have my wife and kids. They are my world. I’m so happy to have my parents, brother and sister and my nieces. I’m also grateful for having my aunt and uncles. I’m truly blessed to have these wonderful people in my life. I’m looking forward to seeing all of them for Easter this weekend.
• Spring is upon us! It’s wonderful to experience longer days so to speak and to go for walks without having to bundle up too much.
• We’re having some structural repairs made to our house this week. I’ve wanted to get them done for years. I’m grateful to have the means to do so and to have someone I trust doing the work.
• I’m grateful our car has lasted 14 years and counting. It’s wonderful that we’ve been able to count on it for so long.
• I’m grateful for the community we live in. There are so many wonderful people here. I’m especially grateful for the volunteers at our local pool. They do a great job ensuring the community has a place to enjoy each other’s company through fun activities, swim lessons and sports programs.
• I’m thankful for having found a hobby I truly enjoy. It allows me to work with my hands and to enjoy my own company with music from time to time.
• I’m truly happy for a new organization I joined last year. So many great people there and I’m learning a lot from them.
• I’m grateful for my job and the new opportunity that presented itself recently. It helps make it more interesting and challenging.
• I’m very grateful for the people I work with. All are kind and when we disagree with each other it’s done with respect.
• I’m especially grateful for how well my boss treats me. It makes a difference in your life when you have someone in a leadership role that supports you.

That is all for today. This was refreshing :)
