ACTIVITY
Close your eyes and imagine🤔 a life without being able to do one or more of these at all...or even needing support to do any, for instance: a guide dog, oxygen mask to breathe, tools like catheter or colostomy bag, tube to feed, crutches or wheel chair etc? Can you imagine how vulnerable you'd feel constantly?
Now, do you think you have MORE THINGS to SHOW GRATITUDE FOR in your life 🙂👍

4: Be mindful of others both in your deed and your thoughts. Don't judge, trust me...you really don't know the FULL story.
5: Show compassion, volunteer for unpleasant tasks. Help out a loved one or a neighbour.
