We wake up each morning thinking of our busy schedules, unfinished tasks, due papers or assignments, and our planned activities for the day or the coming weeks.
We walk. We run. We act. And at the end of the day, we are all exhausted and tired and all we want is to dive on our own bed and close our eyes to prepare ourselves for the coming days. Everyday is a routine. Like we are made to do things over and over again. We feel happy and proud everytime we accomplish something and sad everytime we fail. But it's part of life anyways. Sometimes your up and sometimes your down.
With all the things we get through, did we ever say thank you for the times we succeed and for the times we fail? Did we ever acknowledge the Man above for all the things He has given us whether how big or small it is?
That question hit me one moment while I was sitting on a car just trying to figure out my 24 years of life.
I was raised in a household like that of other middle class family. We are not rich but I can say my parents tried to gave us comfortable and easy life. And by this I am more blessed than the others who are alone and had to struggle in order to survive.
Opening my eyes each morning and seeing the beauty of the world, I am more privileged from those who were born unable to see.
Being more healthy than ill, I am fortunate than those who couldn't survive the day.
Having a job, food in the table, clothes to keep me warm, and a place to sleep I can say I am more lucky than those who have to ask for food and money and don't have a descent place to stay.
Being free to roam around without the fear of torture and harassment, I am ahead of those who suffers and victims of injustices and unlawful society.
Having a complete family who supports me and reminding me that I have a home to go back to, I am envied by those who are abandoned and alone.
And if I can hold my head up high and smile, I am unique than those who are in doubt and despair.
Saying thank you does not take a lot of our time. It's just a two words but when it is said, you'll feel light and happy. Our hearts will be filled with joy knowing that we acknowledge and appreciate what God has given us.
He is the only great provider that knows the desires of our hearts.
And after all, saying thank you is not the hardest thing to say.

Bessy, this is the first thing that I read before I started working today. And you reminded me of the very thing that I often tend to forget. Yes, let's be thankful for this wonderful life! :)
