I thought it would be fun to collect some of these pictures into one post.

I hope you enjoy them. (Image)

I thought I’d lost them whilst walking the dogs in the woods.

Turns out they were in the only coat pocket I hadn’t checked.

It would have been a real pain.

I haven’t got a spare set!

What are you grateful for today?

I was standing in my daughters’ bedroom looking out of the window at the moon looking down on us and then I looked back at my two little girls reading on their beds.

I remember telling all my children when they were younger about the man in the moon and then seeing at the sense of wonderment on their faces.

It made me smile because it also brought back memories of other tall tales I’ve told my children and those very close times we spent together.

Looking at the moon shining down also reminded me of the night I proposed to my wife. I recall vividly the moonlight shimmering across the lake (The Serpentine, Hyde Park, London) as I asked her to marry me.

So today, I’m grateful for the moon.

People probably assume that you have to be grateful for the huge things in life, but it’s often the little insignificant things we take for granted that perhaps we ought to be grateful for.

Today I’m grateful for my toothbrush.

Having dog’s breath is not awesome, so being able to brush away all the plaque is a big winner.

Not having black teeth is also a winner.

During a game of rough and tumble, my two boys and I talked about some of the important attitudes that that lead to living a happy life.

It was great because it didn’t feel like I was lecturing them.

For the last week I’ve had so much going on that I haven’t climbed into bed before 1am and I’ve been up again at 6am.

It’s not ideal, I like to get 7 or 8 hours in, but I’m not going to complain.

It was 5 hours of uninterrupted sleep in a comfortable bed, in a warm house, and in the knowledge that my family and I are sheltered and safe.

There’s a lot to be said for that.
