Day 171 / 365
Well I've decided to do something a little different this week to challenge myself creatively and mentally. The images this week are about gratitude. We all have so much to be grateful for in our lives but how often do we actually stop and think about it?
Ok so what could todays image possibly have to do with gratitude. Well as I was doing my housework today and thinking about what I would post I realised that there was gratitude right in front of me. Naturally there are plenty of other things I would have preferred to be doing and all of them more self indulgent than cleaning the toilets but then I realised what I was missing. Number one I actually have a house to clean! It is comfortable and secure and there are many people who are not as fortunate, people who's living conditions are far worse. Secondly I am fit and healthy enough to do my own housework! A lot of people are unable to do simple tasks due to health issues etc. Thirdly there is satisfaction associated with a clean and tidy house. I feel a sense of accomplishment when its all done even if it only lasts 6 hours until the kids get home from school! So, as much as I find it a rather mundane task I realise there is gratitude to be found in those simple chores. I hope everyone can think of something that they were grateful for today.
