Reasons to be Thankful



"So who wants to live forever when these moments will only come the once?" -- Justin Sullivan




This week I saw the best band in the world. Every time I hear Vagabonds live my heart bursts. Dancing to NMA for 2 hours is worth feeling as though my sacro-iliac joint is on fire the next day. Never, ever stop touring. Never. One Family. One Tribe.

Also this week I am grateful for:-

* Poetry
* Foo Fighters on VH1 Storytellers (even if they did bleep out all the "fucks" - meanwhile Jay-Z is allowed to call women "bitches" without being bleeped!)
* Desperately needed days off work
* Donating blood (another one off my list). Having needed blood myself in the past I always swore when I was well enough I would give it back.
* Yin Yoga
* Cooking for my family (which included British wine. Yes that's right, British wine! And it was nice!)
* Sunday morning power walks followed by curling up on the sofa
* Reading a whole book in a weekend (I used to do this a lot, I just haven't found the time in the last couple of years)
* Things to look forward to

British wine?! What was it, and where from? This I have to try! :) x

British wine - shocking stuff eh?!! It's from a place called Chilford Hall which is just outside Cambridge - you can do wine tours I believe, which I think we might have to do!

It tastes a bit like Reisling but not so dry.

(PS - congratulations :D)

Hello there! :)
Glad you liked the quote - thanks for commenting!
I love "grateuful..." lists like the one you've posted here! It's always good to remember the positive things in life. (Especially if wine and books are in the equation!)

Mary, I totally know what you mean. I did a 2 year Masters degree followed by my yoga teacher training - I don't think I read for pleasure for like, four years!!!
