Blessed!

I can't explain it, but just like some days will feel wrong, some days just feel so right. Today is one of those days when I am just filled with thankfulness for all the things that I have and I feel blessed.

I am thankful that today is a good day and that I am full of inspiration.
I am thankful that I have a mission and a sense of meaning with my life.
I am thankful that my work gives me satisfaction.
I am thankful that I have options in life in contrast to so many people around me. I do not have a lot of material wealth (I only have two horses!) but I have enough money to support myself and I am free to make my own choices, which many people here (both men and women) aren't.
I am thankful of my health, which, despite some defaults (especially linked to the accident last year) is more than many people have and which allows me to enjoy so much.
I am thankful for my family, my friends and all my nice acquaintances that make my life so much richer!
And last but not least, I am thankful that I go to bed sleepy at night. It's such a treat, you wouldn't how happy I am about that! I hope it lasts for many more weeks to come!

Still smiling!
