* ...a few precious moments spent at the allotment, to collect some produce to take to my Mum's tomorrow - and seeing that we still have exciting things growing.
* ...sometimes, being in the right place at the right time.
* ...a camera to capture these precious moments and an eye to see them.
*...being thanked for my hard work this term.
*...that I'm now on holiday from work for just over a week - and I can spend some time with my loved ones.
My personal task for this week is to keep a 'gratitude diary' - each day I am writing down things that I am grateful for. The idea is that the more you take note of the positives, the more your mind looks for good things and will see more positives.
Today I have lots of things I am thankful for - here are just a few:
* Hearing this on my way in to work this morning - it brought back happy memories of being at home as a youngster, watching 'Top of the Pops 2' with my dad. An old favourite refreshed in my mind.
* A lovely evening of catching up and laughter with a good friend.
* A night sky so clear that I can see a million stars.
* The goodwill of work colleagues who have made me feel very welcome in my new job.
* A partner who is incredibly supportive of me and my aspirations.
