so why am I grateful today

I am grateful because
I have a loving and supportive network of friends and family.
I have taught my 8 year old his 4 times tables.
The evening is beautiful.
I have tidied up lots and feel content with my work.
I have a scanned image to send to a magazine, hopefully they will like my work.
I can hear birds singing right now.
I have great faith in God and I know things will work themselves out.

I have a lot more than this to be grateful for but these are the things that sprung to mind and made me smile.
