I am grateful.

1. I have always believed I live a charmed life. Privileged. Lucky. Blessed. It holds true today more than ever. I maybe lacking in material things but I have the best family, and I have developed this really amazing outlook that being happy is really a choice to BE HAPPY. Life may suck or not go way with what you have planned, but you will always have something that you can be HAPPY for. Choose to be happy.
2. I have this privilege since I was born that sadly, I have been taking for granted. It is my fervent prayer I get to able to get back to it soon. I need to pray more.
3. I am grateful for my husband. Life has never been the same the night I saw him 14 years ago. At the risk of sounding so gushy, I *just* knew he was going to be special. Of course I never knew he was the one. He has taught me what commitment really means and teaches me how to really love without condition. It is still a work in progress, but hey baby, we are so in this marriage together. As we have always agreed, “We will always make this work.”
4. I am grateful for my kids. People always say I have always been driven. But what they dont know is that I have been an underachiever all my life. With my kids, I aim higher, dream more and act on it faster. They have changed my life. And I would not have it any other way, when I had my firstborn at 19. I knew it then, I know it now, He gave me my son to be able to save me.
5. I am grateful for being able to know an amazing person who loves me. She is far, I may not be able to talk to her but she has always been there without me knowing I need her. Thanks Ate. I love you.
6. I am indebted to my parents. We never stop needing them you know and even as a parent myself, I am so lost without them. My only dream is to be able to give them a comfortable life before they go.
7. I am grateful for the people here who have made our lives easier. Seldom do we find people who work without expecting money in return or those who really have genuine care. Thank you.
8. I am grateful for discovering blogging. It has made me introspective, made me know myself better, opened a new world for me, made me earn so much more than I have ever dreamed and gave me real friends.
9. I am grateful for discovering scrapbooking.
10. And I am grateful for YOU. You who read my blog, who never fails to cheer for me, cry with me and just root for me. You dont comment, but I have let you peek into my life and what goes on in my little head. Thank you. For not judging, for believing, for continuing to read.

Here’s to writing more little snippets for you to enjoy.
Happy Thanksgiving.
