There is always something to be thankful for. In the past, we always argued if the glass was half empty or half full. I am now joining those individuals who are thankful for having a glass, and that there is something in it. Yes, life is indeed simple. People, and sometimes greed, are the ones who make it complicated.
My little boy and I spent a few minutes earlier today exchanging notes on things we are thankful for. That inspired me to expand my list. So here I am spending some minutes to say thank you to the many people and things that have touched my life and made my days either special or challenging.
1. Thank you for another breath of life. I opened my eyes this morning and thanked God I’m still alive. Healthy and kicking.
2. Thank you for the smile. Seeing your loved one’s smile first thing in the morning is enough to make your day. Be it from your partner, child, sibling, parent, grandparent, or a friend.
3. Thank you, my family. I’m deeply grateful for your love and for always holding my hand.
4. Thank you for the hug. There’s nothing else that gives me the kind of comfort than a warm embrace.
5. Thank you, friends. Thank you for the good times, the bad times, the ups and downs. Thank you for the jokes, the joys, and all the moments shared.
6. Thank you for my shadow. It means I am still alive, out in the sunshine, enjoying the open air. It also means there is light helping us see things in the darkness of the night.
7. Thank you for the challenges. They made me stronger. They help me navigate through life with greater ease.
8. Thank you for the difficult times. They helped me grow and inspired me to move on.
9. Thank you for the silence and complete darkness. Those surreal moments when you hear nothing but the soft murmur of the air-con, with no lights to disturb your thoughts. No other moment can give you that kind of peace.
10. Thank you for the morning sunshine, the soft wind, the sand, and the beach. They provide the best combination to unwind.
11. Thank you, photographers. Thank you for capturing life’s beautiful moments into one awesome masterpiece. Thank you for capturing the sunrise, the rainbows, the sunset, the moonlight, and everything in between.
12. Thank you for the books. Who doesn’t love them? I grew up in a house filled with them. I gifted myself with them. I spent so much time with them. I went to the malls for them. I can’t thank you enough for the knowledge, the inspiration, and the wisdom.
13. Thank you for the word possible. It makes me conquer what is impossible.
14. Thank you for the adjectives. They help me in expressing my emotions better. They offer flattering words to describe people and circumstances. They add color to my writing. One adjective can make a lot of difference.
15. Thank you for the flowers. How dull this earth will be without you?
16. Thank you, music for making me feel better. You and my headset are perfect partners in soothing my headache. I can’t thank you enough.
17. Thank you, bed for always carrying my weight and for absorbing all my fatigue when my body crush your crispness at night.
18. Thank you for the new opportunity. I always get this, and I am deeply grateful. It makes my journey more exciting.
19. Thank you, WiFi. Because of you, I can connect to the tech-savvy world. And yes, because of you, I am earning money.
20. Thank you, social media. Because of you, I remain in touch with my old friends, meet new friends, and share my thoughts like this one. Because of you, I was able to make my dream to write a blog come true.
To you, thank you for being a part of my life. Thank you for the big things. And the small things.
And thank you for reading this.
What about you? What are you thankful for?
