Blessed

Today we will get on a ferry and head to Italy. We are very sad to be leaving Greece, having spent two beautiful weeks here. I feel that Greece, despite its financial woes, continues to be wonderful. It makes me realise that there is always something to be happy about. This got me thinking about all the things that I am thankful for, and – inspired by one of my favourite blogs, Rockstar Diaries – I decided to put together a little list.

I am thankful for:

…the feeling of the sun on my skin – it reaches right down in to my soul, warms it up and leaves me feeling more alive than ever

…the time to be creative – to think and to dream

…the opportunity to miss my family and friends – to appreciate their worth and the important role they play in my life

…the courage to start again – to not know what the future holds and to be okay with that

…the chance to travel – to explore, to discover and to learn along the way

…the companionship of my best friend, my soul mate, my husband – to love and to be loved

…the heightened state of my senses – to take in the beautiful sights of the world, to feel the sand between my toes, to listen to the singing of the early morning birds, to taste the salt of the sea

…the ability to be still – to be quiet, to find peace in solitude

...the possibility to be who I want to be – to do what I want to do

…the unwavering faith I have that the best is yet to come

What are you thankful for?
