“A thankful heart
is a happy heart.”
A thankful heart ‘fosters’ joy.
Taking the time to say: “Thankyou”
shows respect and appreciation
and opens up a whole new world of happiness.
Acknowledging the importance of being grateful,
even for the smallest things,
helps us to focus on what we do have and who we have
in our lives in an optimistic and positive way.
Having this mindset
‘shows’ us the good
that is around us,
and we develop a deeper appreciation for life.
Expressing our gratitude for others
strengthens those very important relationships,
whether they are loved ones or friends.
He or she will feel valued
and we ourselves will feel happier.
This leads to a joyful journey in life.
LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

I wanted to title this something different, but worried that my chosen title might cause problems entering the United States in the future so this is the new title. It's the greatest title. No one has ever written a title better than this. (All titles unrelated to content).
Let me be honest. I am finding this difficult. Now, I like a challenge, a stretch, a bit of an obstacle course. “Write about the decline of the British Empire in the form of a narrative poem in which your protagonist is an artichoke” I read, and flex my fingers. “Write a haiku to evoke the sensation of sibilance using only the first half of the alphabet.” “Well”, I think to myself, “this should be fun.” But “write about a system that isn’t working”? A system that isn’t working? Now? In 2026? ONE system? My favourite system that isn’t working? The sexiest system that isn’t working? The one giving me the most angst day to day? The one giving me the most existential dread? I am, as I say, finding this difficult. I will own that I have contemplated writing a thousand words on why the steady “all on” setting on my fairy lights is the EIGHTH of seven options which must be sequentially activated to get there, because that is a system that some fool came up with and it definitely doesn’t work, and now who is paying the price, eh? But how can I write about my fairy lights when…. When…. When….
