Living at the east coast of Denmark, having the gift of seeing lots of different sunrises, especially during Winter times, it occurs to me as if quite a few days, even the ones that were supposed to be totally clouded, actually have a small crack in the horizon. Right there in the thin line between to ocean and the firmament, most mornings the light of dawn will peak through. 

I wonder if it's like that in every aspect of life. That even though clouds seems heavy, there's almost always a crack of light somewhere. I like the thought, and chooses to stick with the perception. 

I know there have been quite a few ocean gratitudes on my one-year-gratitude-blog. 
I didn't grow up with the ocean outside my door, but I've grown addicted to living close to the magic of water. 
Not two days are the same, and the sight and sounds always works wonders!

Walking the corridors of a client.
Stopping for a few minutes, catching the late sun outside, and feeling absolutely grateful for having a job that I love this much. 

Hope I'll always remain grateful for these kinds of moments. 
Being reminded how lucky I am to be able to unwrap a new day. 

Sending my brother and his family off into the snow, and later learning that they were hit by another car in the traffic chaos caused by the first snow in DK.  
Heartfelt grateful that they're all safe!!!!!!!

-Having my brother and his family over for the weekend. 
Just having them around. In reach. Walking in the forest. Cooking. Reaching out and feeling them close by. Laughing, dancing and listing to old one-hit-wonders. Watching the kids bonding. Baking Christmas cookies while snow is falling. Feels as if my heart is growing. 

Leaving a work related meeting with tears in my eyes. The good kinds. Reminded of how much I love what I do. 
Meeting an inspiring man for lunch, one of those special people who makes you stop and reflect for a while. 
Floating further into the pulse of the city to buy a present for my cool cousin. 
And spending the afternoon at her reception - captivated by the warm atmosphere of people enjoying each others company. 
Grateful for every bit of this day. 

After - what feels like - way too many days with a grey sky, and some days feeling as if light never really breaks through before it disappears again, I suddenly catches a glimpse of early morning brightness on my way to work. Noticing the clouds in the horizon, and kind of realises that the feeling might be brief. It doesn't however change this moment one bit. Feeling small butterflies in my stomach, turning on Spotify, and sings way too loud for the rest of my morning route.

Not feeling too confident when sending my loved ones to a national football game at this very moment. However neither they nor I wanna give in to living a life in fear. 

Grateful for a wonderful friend, who gave my daughter and husband a chance to watch this game tonight. 
​Thank you K!!!

After a couple of days with way too much darkness - something as little as a blue sky calls for gratitude.
