Better Memories of Mum – Better at Being Grateful (14/21 Gratitude Challenge)

Well it has been two weeks since I started this….

Todays challenge is:

Write about how the challenge has changed your perspective thus far.

Well today is a little different.

It is the anniversary of my Mum passing away – it has been three years.

Mum was always grateful.  I took the following list from the eulogy which my wonderful wife read at Mum’s funeral – just note point 7:

On 30/3/2014 Aunty Glor told Ian and I that these were the things she was thankful for:

  • Having a good home
  • Nice people to look after me
  • The doctor comes when I call, and he is nice
  • Someone to do my shopping
  • Having a joke
  • Visits from my family
  • I rarely wake up miserable, I wake up grateful
  • When I smile it makes other people happy, that makes me happy
  • Having a packet of potato chips when I want – sometimes one in the morning and one in the afternoon
  • I love seafood – I wish I could have more
  • Looking at my photographs – especially the ones of Dad and remembering those days
  • I love eggs for breakfast – emphasized love!

I don’t want to write anymore tonight about this (sounded a little forrest Gumpy there!)

I think my previous post of Mum’s eulogy is enough for today.

All Comments are appreciated. All comments are read and answered by me, a real person!!!
