My Gratitude List

June 5, 2010

A few days to go and I’ll be another year older - but wiser and happier, I hope. I  am a big improvement from the angst-driven, insecure, boy-crazy, and rebellious girl that I was from 10 years ago, but I still am a ways away from being the worry-free, stress-free, confident, and happy woman that I want to be. But I’m getting there.

It is said that happiness is being content with and thankful for what you have. So this year, I want to list down things that I’m thankful for.

A healthy body.

A roof over my head.

Food on the table.

Clothes on my back.

Family.

Friends.

Enemies. Yes, even them, because they help me build my character.

Trials and tribulations (same reason as above).

Pets.

My talents and skills.

My job.

The people I work with.

The money I’ve earned so far.

Music.

Books.

Photography.

The Internet.

Transportation.

Travel.

Educational/informational and news channels.

A good night’s sleep.

Power naps.

Opportunities.

Second chances.

Ordinary people who do random acts of kindness.

Forgiveness.

Prayers.

Love.
