How blessed I am.....

The first thing I do every morning when I open my eyes is to be grateful that I am alive. I turn my cheek and my partner is still breathing sleeping soundly next to me.  I check my phone and see my children are all safe.  I hear a little whine and my puppies are waiting to say good morning. I sit up and find my body is still in order and I can still stand on my own 2 feet.  And that is just the beginning of my blessings.

As I amble down the passage, open the door for my babies, I get kissed from head to toe as they are so excited to see me.  What a wonderful good morning, and I am blessed with that every morning.  I make myself a cup of tea and then it is time for me to sit down in front of my pc and get my day started.

For me, I need to start with some positive input.  I open up my Facebook and look for Robin Sharma, Robert Kyosaki or Zig Zigglar.  Without a doubt there will be a pic or a quote that catches my attention and sets me up for the day.  I do some planning and then my day has finally begun.

This morning was no different to the rest of the week.  For me, I am blessed to be able to work 7 days a week.  So on a Saturday morning I have just planned my day to take me up to 18:00.  Today the day will end totally differently to the rest of the weeks this year.  Tonight when I put my head on my pillow my parent's will be in the room next to me.  Today I will be blessed to have a 'mum' and 'dad' hug. 

So today, please forgive me if you cross my path.  I will have the biggest grin on my face and I will most probably be over the top with enthusiasm for my wonderful blessed life.  

Becoming a diamond.

And so this evening my life changed forever.  It has finally sunk in that this is now my future.  Tonight I take my first steps to setting my goals for the next year.  No more noise in my head and no more doubting that I too can soar with the eagles.  It is quite amazing how one loses focus amongst the negativity of our society.  Instead of focusing on what I have already achieved I started focusing on how far I still need to go to reach my next level.  But, an amazing young couple on an equally amazing journey have turned my way of thinking 180 degrees.  I am in awe of the amazing company I now work for and what my future holds.  So in closing on this historical Sunday night, the 8th December 2013, I challenge one and all to watch this space.... because WATCH OUT WORLD... here I come...
