Lying in bed thinking of some of the things I can be grateful for:

  • I have a wonderful wife who loves me and looks after me πŸ’•πŸ’š
  • Old friends and family visited yesterday for afternoon tea and a fish and chip dinner πŸ’•
  • Children stayed for a wide ranging discussion that included β€˜How long could you survive by yourself on a desert island?’, to son talking about IT qualifications he’s doing for his post-construction job
  • More old friends coming to a 1970s themed dinner tonight β€” salmon mousse and cheese fondue
  • New line of cancer treatment might be showing signs of positive response (early days but fingers crossed 🀞😷
  • Dedicated Dharma teachers who guide me on a spiritual path that is meaningful to meπŸ™πŸ•‰οΈ
  • Inspiring people on social media and in real life communities who are trying to make the world a better place β€” it doesn’t always feel like it, but there are a lot of us
  • Knowing that most people are essentially good and want the best for everyone
