01/06/2016 Today is this first day of the 30 day Gratitude Challenge I said I was going to start. As with many things you decide to do, the Universe puts obstacles in your way to see how serious you are about your commitment and when I woke up this morning I certainly was not feeling grateful about anything. I was feeling unwell, unhappy and generally out of balance. I was channeling Grumpy, Sleepy and Dopey today and I was thinking "F**k the challenge"
But in life you are the author of you own story, you make the choice of how your life is going to be and the concept of choice was pecking at the back of my brain So I looked around my home at the things I surround myself with, and decided I had to water my plants as they needed a little TLC, as I did this I decided the thing I was grateful for in my home were my plants and what they give of themselves to me.
They represent earth in my home, they purify the air and they are beautiful living entities. So today I give thanks to my plants and especially my Snake Plant Sansevieria trifasciata 'Laurentii', also known as the bedroom plant, giving an oxygen boost while you sleep.
