Well, on this last day of the second month of the year, I’d like to do a tiny recap for people only just joining the party.
Every day, for the year of 2014, I am writing a post about something – whether it be big or small – that I am grateful for. Could be Homer’s Iliad or Heinz’s baked beans and sausage in a tin.
Because, let’s face it, in the great scheme of things, most of us in the West are pretty privileged – even if we’re not eating Á la carte on the economic gravy train.
Here are some beautiful tulips I received for my birthday earlier this week. How can they fail to make you happy? (Thank you to Georgia for sending them to me.) I am very lucky indeed.

I love this! 365 days of gratitude! This is something I practice every day as well, though it’s in a journal, not a blog. I love the fact that this blogger is bringing their gratitude public to help inspire others to do the same. Thank you for this 🙂
It is very kind of you to reblog my post – thank you, Jupiter, I am very grateful 🙂
You are very welcome! What your doing is fantastic and deserves to be shared. People can learn a lot about happiness though gratitude. Love what you’re doing and I fully support it! Also, hello I’m Arielle 🙂
Hi Arielle, nice to meet you. I think so too. We often bemoan our situation before taking stock of what we do have – and not always in the materialistic sense.
Happy Birthday! bit late 😉 hope you celebrate for a month 😉
the photos look so professional, love tulips too.
Thank you, Doris. They light up the whole room with little buds of happiness. Well, maybe not so happy now that they’ve had their roots hacked off. Hey-ho, one flower’s loss…
😉
