365 Days of Thankfulness: My Constant

-

With the ever changing world around us, we have to hold on to something constant.

These are the intangibles: family, friends, yourself, and God.

As the last year had ended and a new year had began, I am thankful for the constant in my life: my family and God.

365 Days of Thankfulness: Look Harder

-
A  skill we need to learn and manage is to be able to see the positive things in each day even when on certain days we just have to look harder  - Francis Kong I know that the goodness  of God is coming after me and He’s showing it not just one time but over and over and over and over again. He is showing it me when He gave me another morning to live, to breath, to enjoy life. It is hard to be always thankful when you are going with the mundane tasks of everyday, we tend to ignore small things and so we need to look harder. The challenge in me is to find time to do journal. So in between tasks, while cooking or washing the dishes or driving, I think about the things I need to be grateful for the day then I typed it out in the Notes app in my phone.

At that moment, as far as I know, the answer needs digging history of change to which I only know a portion of . We came to agree on re-scheduling the demo after digging some more details. But you know, at that moment I went blank. But after I got off the phone, I sent an email to some people for clarification.

-
Appreciating  the little things  in life means that you focus your attention on what nurtures and sustains you in life. On everything that brings you even the smallest amount of pleasure. It also means practicing  gratitude  by noticing these everyday  things  that you take for granted so easily. - Anon The reason why I've been posting 365 Days of Thankfulness couple of times a week because I am exercising this routine of 'keeping a gratitude journal'. I find it a challenge to do it everyday especially as I don't find much time blogging. But whenever I can, I take a look at my how my day went, pull on Notes in my phone and jotted down small things that are significantly magnified when I asked myself this question: what are things that I am thankful today? So for the last couple of days, here are the things that I have taken note of: - Thursday night, I was already in bed. Hubby still working. And I heard him singing. Well, he's got a good voice, he is music...
