That is a lovely reminder of the good things in your life. Well done you π For me, it is that I am still young, that life holds so many possibilities and that I have the most wonderful partner to share it with. I could go on and on. I was in fact thinking about this while I was out for a run in the soft, dappled sunshine in the park today and it made me feel quite so happy xx
