Thankful Thursday

It doesn't hurt anyone to remind yourself of how lucky you are and to be thankful for that. So, I try to keep that up for myself by writing a post like this every week.

I missed out on last week although there were a lot of things to be thankful for. Like: a weekend full of sweet and lovely people and receiving mail from Taiwan (the real mail, with an envelope and post stamps, you know?).

Seven thankful moments this week:

• The beautiful (blue skies and some sunshine) real winter, including snow and freezing temperatures (-8 or more at some nights).
•  Have a (new!) coat to keep me warm for this winter weather.
• Being able to learn from other cultures. I visited the Chinese New Year Celebration in The Hague this year. Loud and fun.
• Having a brother and sister to have a laugh with.
• And to stick with the family thing: parents that care about me so much
• Photo memories (It was funny to see myself as a slightly chubby kid in the snow).
• The book Writing Tools: 50 Essential Strategies for Every Writer by Roy Peter Clark. It is such a help by starting up a new project and a lot of fun to read too.
