I am so grateful for

I am so grateful that Melbourne has had no new COVID19 cases for over a month. That we have had no COVID deaths over that period. That we are returning to some sort of normal. That we can celebrate Christmas, birthdays, and so on, in person with our loved ones. That we can enjoy the warmer weather outdoors, without needing to wear face masks.

I have seen a lot of information about the health benefits of feeling gratitude. This includes an improved immune system, optimal functioning and well being and so on. However, I just know that feeling gratitude makes me feel good about myself and about life. Gratitude is it’s own reward. It is worth feeling because it is such a loving kind of feeling. Why wait till this or that happens before you feel happy? Feeling grateful gives me happiness and feelings of love. Give it a try.
