I have to say it was really nice to receive this award, especially since recently I have found it hard to maintain an 'attitude of gratitude'. It has made me remember the things in my life that I truly am grateful for:

• That I have a job, even one that doesn't make me very happy, when so many around the world are struggling right now.
• My fella, who is a rock for me when I need it, and makes me laugh the rest of the time. Oh yeah, he cooks and washes dishes while I sew too!
• My friends who are always available for long chats about frivolous or serious things.
• My family who I love and who love me.
• That after months of insomnia, I am finally getting a reasonable night's sleep on most nights (without medication).
• That in less than 2 weeks time I am on holiday!
