I have read several blog posts about this challenge of writing “30 things I am thankful for”. I admire those bloggers who appreciated every little things around them. I enjoyed reading their story of gratitude. Until I came across blissfulsnapshots’ blog yesterday and her version of it inspired me to accept the challenge. I find this a really good opportunity to appreciate big and small things which brought me to where I am today. Though, I am always a grateful person but I have never specifically mentioned what I am really thankful about. So allow me to take this chance to heartily thank you..
- my Maker and God. My Omnipotent Father who never forsakes and who guides me everyday. I have been thanking You everyday, so for now, I would like to thank You for the things that I failed to thank You about. 🙂 Thank You for the things that I may fail to mention here.
- for the gift of wisdom and knowledge that my brain has. Thank you for being there in my head and letting me think wisely. Thank you for the good thoughts and thank you also for those “not-so-good-and-right-thoughts”.
- my ever-loving and supportive Mama Amy and Papa Eddie. Thank you for making me a “princess” in the house, for helping me financially even until now and for the values and lectures. It’s been about 5 years since you decided to break up with each other, but I am thankful because you never neglected your responsibilities towards us. Thank you for not letting us feel that we’re broken.
