Things I am thankful for

Why is it easy to get soo wrapped up in life's flaws and hindrances instead of fixating on the positivity life has to offer? It is all too easy to become blinded by the good things staring right at you! I know for one, I am guilty of this. Although I'd class myself as a generally positive person, there are times, situations and scenarios that draw me into a negative mindset. 

Here is a poem I have come up with that highlights the things I am currently thankful for:

Life has its hindrances and flaws
To eliminate the negativity
Break through the locked doors
To enter the new era of positivity

Discover what makes you thankful
For me a loving and supportive family
Wifi and WhatsApp are wonderful
Allowing communication with my sis in Bali

Medication that maintains my health
My dog who gives endless affection
A job that allows some wealth
My bed for a hard to break relation

Youtubers for publishing hours of footage
Always educating, enlightening, inspiring
Spare time like creating this in a train carriage
A good network of friends allows enjoyable socialising

A unique space like this blog
Allows me to document, reflect, express
A written down physical log
Complete freedom, no expectations to impress

This blog post came around from an idea I had in the shower, and a spurt of creativity on a recent train journey. I find it hard to put my thoughts into word form, so I'm quite pleased with this poem I managed to come up with :) 

What are you currently thankful for?
