Gratitude – 5 things I’m grateful for

Sometimes when we are rushed off our feet getting on with work and daily life we forget to stop and think about what we are grateful for. When you stop and think there are lots of things we should show gratitude for, here are my top five.  Hopefully they inspire you to think about yours. 

Gratitude

My gratitude list

1 – My dogs

With the craziness that has been the last couple of years with lock downs and working from home I have become even closer to my dogs than I thought I could. Every morning I am grateful for their happy little faces and wags that make me feel that all is good with the world.

During lockdown they also served as my models so I could keep my eye in with my photography. Jelly, Red and Nuka……thank you!

2 – My home

I have had to work from home throughout the pandemic and I couldn’t think of anywhere I would rather have been. I live out in the countryside in Suffolk and was able to walk with my three four legged friends for miles without seeing a soul. Bliss! 

I love my home and I don’t think about it enough. Writing this blog has been really cathartic and given me a moment to fully appreciate all the things I take for granted and my home is one of them.

3 – My Clients 

Without them I am just a person taking photos.  My clients inspire me to try new things and push forward. I love meeting all the new people that photography brings into my life. I live for capturing those special  moments that I know will live in peoples homes for years to come. To my clients, I thank you for being there and I will strive to always go above and beyond for you.

4 – My studio

I have not really had a chance to get in my studio and get going yet, but I can’t wait to get in it more. The renovation of it during the start of the year also gave me something positive to focus my attention on with so much negativity in the world. To my studio,  I am grateful to have you and look forward to lots of shoots in the new year.

5 – My Friends and Family 

Where would we all be without our friends and family?  I wouldn’t be where I am now without them. They have supported me and helped me every step of the way and continue to do so.  There is nothing more to say. To my friends and family, I am grateful for you. Thank you!

What are you grateful for?

Now I have shared mine, have a think about what you are grateful for. Even in the darkest times there is always something. Often things we take for granted day to day.  Take a moment and show gratitude for those things. 

I try to think of one thing every morning that I am grateful for and it starts the day off on the right foot. 

Go find your gratitude.
