Rounding off the final part of my gratefulness challenge, here are the last two days:
Day six (3rd November):
1. A free workout as a result of doing a favour for a friend
2. After many, many bad kiwifruit this year, finally a perfect one today
3. A beautiful sunset from the office stairwell
Day seven (4th November):
1. My new shampoo bar that arrived in the mail – can’t wait to try it!
2. Looking forward to a (hopefully interesting) talk tonight on the role of language in society as part of the ESRC festival of social science
3. And finally, the best part of each and every day, this guy.
So there you have it, seven days of gratefulness. It was actually pretty good to stop and think about the little (and big) things that make you happy. Some days there were lots of things (like today I found two pennies on the ground within a minute of each other - lots of luck for me!) and while other days were a bit simpler, there was no shortage of good things. I firmly believe that happiness is a state of mind and being optimistic and looking forward to the future plays a big part in that. So here's to lots more exciting things happening in the coming years!
