My Gratitude List

It's been an emotionally draining week and its only Wednesday! 
Partly because my heart and my head are in two places and partly because I'm at a crossroads in my life and I'm about to make a life changing decision.

So I've decided to be happy instead, here are my 10 random reasons why stressing is so not worth it:



  1. I saw a photograph of a man I once loved dearly in my teens and 20's and realised it wouldn't have worked out anyway. Seeing the cigarette in his hand and realising where he's at in his life, those feelings didn't exist anymore and my standards have been raised.
  2. Seeing a pic of myself shooting at a wedding and realising that I have what it takes to be anything I want to be regardless of how many times my brain tells me I'm useless.
  3. I realised just now that by the end of 2013 I would have worked 31 weekends of a 52 week year and I should take off the time that is owed to me and which is how I'm compensated - so I'm taking a total of 2 days off before this long weekend - because I've earned it and I can!
  4. Hearing his laughter in my head, being in love and being so grateful for him. He makes me so, very happy <3
  5. Reading the happy comments on my latest bride's facebook and the response that so many people have had to her wedding photographs - that I took!
  6. Realising that being different is better than being normal. <Cackle!>
  7. Reminiscing about The Great Gatsby - what a brilliant movie!
  8. Knowing that in 2 weeks I'm on holiday in Durban and at my little cousins wedding :D
  9. Missing him everyday even though its been over 4 years and its still feels as if we've just met.
  10. Realising that no matter how much I try to control an outcome, everything is going to be according to the Planner of my life and what is meant for my greater good. And breathe*


Feels good, you should try listing your reasons to be happy too.
