I am Grateful

I am Grateful...thank you
(Reflection)

I think we all have our fair share of good and bad days.
We have been leading such good lives that sometimes, we forget about the small blessings that we have each day.

This is taken from something which I have read. I want to share this so that before we grumble, and think of our own unhappiness, let's pause and count our blessings.


Life is A Gift.

Today before you think of saying an unkind word - Think of someone who can't speak.

Before you complain about the taste of your food - Think of someone who has nothing to eat.

Before you complain about your husband or wife - Think of someone who's crying out for a companion, someone who is lonely without love.

Today before you complain about life - Think of someone who died so young.

Before you complain about your children - Think of someone who desires children but they're barren.

Before you argue about your dirty house, someone didn't clean or sweep - Think of the people who are living in the streets.

Before whining about the distance you drive, or bad transport system - Think of someone who walks the same distance with their feet.

Before you feel that the world is against you, think of those less fortunate.

And when you are tired and complain about your job - Think of the unemployed, the disabled and those who wished they had your job.

But before you think of pointing the finger or condemning another - Remember that not one of us are without sin and we all answer to one maker.

And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down - Put a smile on your face and thank --- you're alive and still around

Life is a gift- Live it, Enjoy it, Celebrate it, And fulfill it.


And to my kids in school,

If your teachers are sooo strict and naggy, it is because they want you to do well.

If your parents nag and restrict your freedom, it is because they care and want to protect you.

The exams are stressful now, but you'll overcome. Have faith and be strong. You can make it.
