Appreciate

Appreciation is something I have been working on for the last few months in particular. That’s not to say that I have never worked on it before but I always gave up at the first hurdle. As soon as something went wrong I fixated on that rather than the things that went right. A year ago today I went into work on my birthday and told my line manager that I was resigning. It’s one of the more unusual ways to celebrate your 60th birthday! Today as I turn 61 I am a much more contented and positive person. I am still a work in progress but I appreciate far more of the simple everyday things in my life than I used to. As my landmark birthday was focused on the momentous decision to finish full time work I am having a day out with the whole family today, the first time we have all been together in one place for well over two years! If that’s not something to appreciate I don’t know what is. 🎂🎂🎂🎂
