Grateful
Hanging these thought-globes on my Christmas tree.
I am grateful:
– that I am alive, healthy and I enjoy the good parts of life;
– that I see (although not everything I see is beautiful), I walk, I eat healthily, I sleep, I hear the chirping in the trees in the park
– to my family;
– that I have a wonderful, smart, kind-hearted, open-minded child, that we went together to the concert about Apolodor the penguin and he really liked it;
– that I play with my son’s cat and I don’t care if she grabs my sweater with her claws;
– that I have few and good friends, special, intelligent, who help when needed, who tell me the truth;
– for the beautiful jobs I have had and I am having, which have stimulated my intelligence, for the extraordinary things I have done, of which I am very proud;
– that I have enough sense to discern between good and evil, that I identify the sources of evil;
– that I have been lucky many times;
– that I have read thousands of books, I have seen thousands of films, I have been to hundreds of concerts, dozens of museums, hundreds of opera and theater shows, that I have had and have access to culture, which I feed myself with every day;
– that I have traveled to dozens of countries, I have seen wonderful places (Paris, Rome, Barcelona, London, New York, Tokyo, etc.), I have met amazing people and I have admired sensational human achievements;
– that I have a beautiful house, full of books, where I feel very good;
– for some extraordinary inventions such as the truth, the good, the beautiful, the honesty, the freedom, the critical thinking, the friendship, the values, the civilization;
– that it is worth fighting to reach the stars, even if you get scars along the way.
