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 :)
