Grateful…
While somethings have not been going our way in recent weeks and months I felt the need today to talk about what it is I am grateful for and how lucky I really am.
Shun & I both have our health and for that I am grateful.
I am grateful for the fact there are treatment options available to my dad.
I am lucky to have found such a great guy in Shun, somebody that loves me and who wants to be with me forever, I am so grateful for this.
I am grateful for how lucky I am that I could return to Australia to be with my family and that Shun choose to come with me.
I am grateful for all my lovely friends both online and offline. And the power of the internet so I can keep in contact with all of them that live so far away.
The fact I am now on a better salary and have added benefits with my job makes me extremely grateful as it allows me the chance to save more than I thought I could.
I am grateful for the fact I have parents that care about me so much, and want me to be happy. Especially a big mention to my mum here who while I know it kills her to know I will move back to Japan she knows it makes me happy so she can let me go.
I am grateful that now the weekend has started and that I have the whole weekend to do things that make me happy like sew, write, cook & play with Abbey- not to mention spend the days with Shun & Dad.
I am grateful that tonight, I could relax with a couple of friends over some sushi, buta kakuni & karage and convere in a mix of Japanese, English & the few Korean words I know.
I know that Japan is there waiting for my return and as much as I miss it I am grateful for the fact it will still be there when I return and has probably remained pretty much unchanged.
I am glad & grateful that Shun & I share many late night chats together and that we are on the same page for our dreams and wants for our future.
I am grateful and so happy that Shun is here with me in Australia and getting the opportunity to work on his English and also spend time with my family, getting to know them & loving them as much as I do.
I am grateful that my brother has found the time to visit my Dad everyday this week as I know how happy it makes him to see my brother most days.
I am so grateful when I see the sheer joy my dad gets from having Abbey around and I am happy that I made him get her because it makes him so happy and I know he would not have it any other way now.
I am grateful for the fact that Shun & I can spend Christmas with my family and I can show him what it is all about.
I am grateful for the life I have and the life we are making together.
It is easy to forget what we are happy and grateful for sometimes but we should always try to remember.
What are you grateful for?

What a great post.
I totally agree, sometimes we need to sit back and think of everything we’re grateful for. It’s so much easier to focus on all the negatives!! I love your list and I really felt the love by the number of times Shun came up. oohhhhh, so sweet.
And you didn’t even need to resort to negatives like ‘I’m grateful it’s NOT snowing…’ 
My list? As well as all the usual suspects I would have to say I’m grateful to DH for taking the huge plunge out of his safe city job into the great unknown country life. And grateful that we both really think we made the right decision. Must go thank him again. 
And sushi, buta kakuni AND karaage??? Hope you’re not grateful for antacid in the morning!!
That was really nice lulu – have never even met you and got wee bit teary. I definately need to remind self to be grateful for more rather than less. Despite the constant blog complaining I do have a lot to be grateful for. Thank you for reminding me
What a lovely list!
I am grateful that I am blessed with a happy healthy little boy who lights up my life with his smiles! Am also grateful that I have been able to find a job that uses my skills and that I enjoy. I am also grateful for all the fabulous friends I have, both IRL and online. I think being able to remember what you are grateful for is a good thing that helps you through the lowest moments.
Hope you have a lovely weekend. xxx
I am grateful for my daughter. It took us much longer to get pregnant than we had ever anticipated and suffice it to say, she is now an amazing addition to our life. I try to remember that every day!
What a beautiful list! It’s such a good thing to sit down and think about what we’re grateful for, isn’t it? I know I definitely don’t do it enough. Lately I’ve been grateful for random small things like finding ripe persimmons (which I’d been missing terribly) in our local supermarket and small experiences like watching my little girl scold our cat to “Be nice!” after she had been the one antagonizing her. Life is good.
