This was never meant to be a podcast episode, it was just some ramblings one evening on facebook live but the outpouring of appreciation and "hell yeahs" I got as feedback made me decide to add it into the podcast.
We all feel at times overwhelmed, stressed to hell, irritable and unable to cope but in those moments if we can bring our thoughts around to things in our life we are grateful for it can change our whole mood, our perception of where we stand in the world and remind us to focus on what we have and can do and not what we can't or don't have.
It can be the little things, your childs smile, your mum's phone call, that you are able to walk when you see another who can't, the fact you live in a great and peaceful country when you see other regions embroiled in war, famine and poverty.
It's the joke that made you laugh and tiny little moments throughout our days that can help us cope with the not so easy aspects of being human in today's crazy and amazing world.
We would also like to thank the sponsors of this show.
