1001 things to be thankful for
I don't have time to write them all down, but as I was sitting at lunch listening to lots of people complain about "their problems" I suddenly mentally was transported back to Rwanda, where for 21 days I don't recall anyone talking about their problems - they maybe had minor set backs but they were all looking forward to the future, so I think everyone who reads this blog should leave a comment with at least 10 things they're happy/thankful for today! To start you off I'll lead with:- I have a job
- I have the best sister in the world
- I have a flat to live in with heat
- I have more than £50 in my bank account
- I have clothes which fit me and I can clean on a regular basis in a machine (not by hand in a sink)
- I have wonderful friends AROUND the world
- I have the best loving, supportive, open minded parents in the world
- I am able to eat more than one meal a day
- I am able to have hot running water at home
- I met some of the most amazing people in Rwanda
