My life seems to have become so complicated in recent years, I know that sometimes I can forget to be grateful for what I have.  It is easy to focus on the things that don’t go right instead of the things that do.  It is easy to focus on what I haven’t got, rather than what I have.

When I consider where I am in my life right now I realise how very rich and full it is, and how very lucky I am to have had my life and all its complexities.  There are so many things I might not have experienced.  So despite me feeling that my life has become ‘complicated’ it has also become full and rich and I would miss out on so much if any part of it was lost to me.

So I have plenty to be grateful for, and the ability to feel gratitude makes me a happier, more rounded person who can and does consider the feelings of others.
