I’m very late for Deb’s Listmania<\/a> this week – but on the basis that it’s better to be late than not to do it at all, here’s my gratitude list:<\/p>\n

Life – it may seem trite to say how grateful I am to be alive, but it is true nonetheless. I’ve had at least three close brushes with death and I’ve learned the lesson:\u00a0 life is good and it’s to be grasped with both hands. I am so grateful to be alive.<\/p>\n

\"just<\/a>My immediate environment – I get to live on an olive grove, near a pretty town in a beautiful part of one of the loveliest countries on earth. How lucky am I? I am thankful for this every day.<\/p>\n

\"in<\/a>My family – my immediate family of DH and DS, DS’s lovely girlfriend, my sister and her family, our Dad,\u00a0 DH’s family – and they’re all no further than a 2-hour drive away. Your family have to put up with you because you’re related to them – thank goodness for that!<\/p>\n

\"us\"<\/a>DH – we’ve been together for nearly 29 years (I think we should do something special next year, for our 30th anniversary). I am grateful to be in a long-standing partnership (although it did freak me out when I realised we have been together for more than half my life!).<\/p>\n

\"on<\/a>Health – although I have a chronic health condition, I’m managing it OK. I am grateful to live in this century, with on-going advances in medical knowledge. I am grateful to be as well as I am.<\/p>\n

There are many, many other things I am grateful for, but those are the ‘big 5’. What tops your list?<\/p>\n
