I am thankful for...

Many times in life, we forget about the simple things we should be thankful for. I have a lot to thank the Lord for this week. I am thankful for being alive and for having the most magnificent friends and family. I am thankful for the opportunities that I have had to follow my dreams. I am humbled by the privilege that I have. I am thankful for my life.

You may not have the car, home, money or clothes that you want right now. Even so, be thankful for what you do have. Appreciating what you have right now will create a feeling of abundance. If you focus on being discontent, those negative thoughts will attract even more negative feelings.

I am EXTREMELY thankful for my parents and sisters for always being there for me, for supporting me in what I want to do, for loving me so much, for having FAITH in me and for encouraging me towards perfection.

I am thankful for the friends I’ve had and still have, I am thankful that "God so loved the world that He gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life." (John 3:16). Knowing God loves me that much make me thankful each and every day.

I am equally thankful for getting too many e-mails because it lets me know I have friends who are thinking of me. Friends who can stand by me through thick and thin, JFF (Just Friends Forever)

I am thankful because I can walk and see the beauty around me. There are those whose world is ALWAYS DARK and whose entire life has been spent on SILENCE. You see them everyday at work, school, church gates, and street corners, without shelter or any tangible means of livelihood.

I am thankful I have suffered heart break over and over again, it only goes to show that I am human enough, with shortcomings, vulnerabilities. I also get the chance to learn from past mistakes and strive for the better, next time around.

I am thankful I’ve been loved and loved in return because there are a lot of people for whom no one has ever cared.

I am thankful for the opportunity to HELP OTHERS, cos every time I look around, I see people who have not been as abundantly blessed as I am and for that I AM THANKFUL FOR.

Of course our lives are never perfect but we still strive for perfection. But you know how it is. You reach the top of one mountain and lo and behold! There’s another mountain to climb! Don't feel discouraged by this. Be sure to look back at all the mountains you've climbed and acknowledge the growth and progress you've made. Be thankful for the experiences because without them, you wouldn't be where you are today

I am happy for now. This is a moment of infinite possibility, unattached the meaningless past while being untethered from the future that is neither here nor promised.

What are you thankful for?
