I was taught, even at an early age, to count my blessings daily. Even on bad days, I try to think of good reasons why I ought to be thankful for another day. It keeps me from whining. It also helps me appreciate life a little better.
- Thank God for Fridays! I have been looking forward to weekend since Monday this week. It had been a long haul for me, but I survived it!
- Thank God for friends! I had lunch with friends today - one of whom celebrated his birthday the other day (Belated happy birthday D!). It was a sumptuous buffet at Todai's - one of my favorite places. We went back to work with full tummies and sleepy eyes.
- Thank God for another day! Everyday, while taking a bath, I utter my silent prayers - first of which is to thank God for giving me another day. Some people die in their sleep you know.
- Thank God for my job! I may dread going to work on most days, but at least I still have one.
- Thank God for the chance to talk to my husband last night! Even when my phone bill is sky-high, I make it a point to call hubz every night. It's the only way we could keep the communication line open. He keeps me posted on how his day is progressing, and I keep him informed on how my day went. On not-so-good days, I take comfort knowing that he's there to hear my woes out.
I had an earful of sermon from my boss today regarding how our projects are progressing. It seems like I get a dose of these everyday that it goes into my right ear, and exits my left one. What can I say - people are working as hard as ever, and if the zombie-like look in their eyes isn't evidence enough, I don't know what else is.
On days like this, the more I need to remind myself that there are still a lot to be thankful for - and so the list goes on and on and on....
