What do I have in my life to be happy for:
- a loving husband
- my family (parents & brothers)
- close friends
- relatives
- healthy life for me and my loved ones
- a beautiful home
- live in a nice location
- my boy (the nickname for our dog)
- a good relationship with my husband & parents
If I was to replace the word "happy" with "grateful", it reads like a post I would write on this blog. What's funny, is that I had written the list over 10 years ago, so was already on the way to feeling grateful for what was already in my life.
The piece of paper I had written over 10 years |
If I was to write this list today, it probably wouldn't be that different apart from the addition of my two girls and being their mummy.
It's strange I never focussed on my job or work back then and included it in the list. I guess I didn't see it (or making money) as something that made me happy back then. I guess one day I'd love to find a job I enjoy or am passionate about, but at the moment I will love every minute of being a Stay-at-home Mummy to my two little girls.
So this week I am grateful for the all the things in my life that makes me happy, my home, my friends and relatives, my relationship with my parents & husband, but most of all my family.
What are you grateful for today?
I am linking up with Maxabella Loves over at Kidspot Village Voices.
How special to find this list! Like a step back in time. Nice to see your priorities on happiness have remained the same through time, shows they're spot on!
ReplyDeleteThanks Nat, I think a bit more "me time" should probably be added to the list...then I will be very happy x
DeleteOh wow! That's lovely! I love how happy and grateful are interchangeable xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Elisa x
DeleteEnjoy the time not working and with your little ones...I've only really managed to get on top of the work/life balance, and the time spent with your kids can't be replicated. Lovely times. Alison
ReplyDeleteThanks Alison, I try to find a balance with keeping the house somewhat tidy, and playing with the kids, but it can be hard somedays..esp when they are the ones making the mess :)
DeleteHow cool that you have that old list. Definitely sounds like you have the priorities of your life sorted!
ReplyDeleteAh thanks Kylie, I think most of them are sorted, just need to throw in some more "me time" and add getting healthy to my list I think :)
DeleteNot much more in this world to be grateful for than those little (big! I think) things x
ReplyDeleteThanks Kylie x
DeleteThat is such a lovely thing to stumble upon and revisit a moment in time like that - and a positive one at that! thanks for sharing it here
ReplyDeleteThanks Deb, what better place for it to be shared than on the "grateful" posts x
