    I am forever in the attitude of gratitude as lots of bad things could happen to me and they have not. Just to get up hale and hearty looking forward to the day is enough for me to remain in the attitude of gratitude.

    I am thankful for so many things. Life, health, love, awesome opportunities. The richest man on earth is not the one who has everything but the one who is grateful for what he has. Life can move so fast that we take so many things for granted. We should learn to appreciate and be grateful for all we have and this attitude will bring in even more blessings.

    I am thankful to God for everything that has been provided to me. I am thankful to my parents who have guided me from my birth till now. I am thankful to them for providing me everything they could afford to keep me happy. I am helpful to my friends for helping me out in different situations. I am thankful to my uncle who has been a good guardian all my life.

    I am thankful that my parents have not given up on me. I am currently out of school. I told my parents that I'll just live alone and work. However, they still are willing to help me if I have troubles. So yes, I am thankful for that.

    I think I could not list all the things why I should be thankful. Indeed, I am thankful for everything. It is because of who I am, made by God according to His image. I will not here on earth without Him. The trials that I experience are not easy but because of Him, my life goes on and on. I may not be rich materially but the joy inside my heart is unreachable.

    I am so thankful for having my own mind to make my own decisions in life without asking permission to be myself. I am thankful to live to see another day, and for the positive vibe that makes it great. I am thankful for my God.

    I am thankful for my good health, good and loving family, friends, not having to struggle for basic things in life. I am thankful for the beautiful nature that we are blessed with . I am thankful for the freedom to speak, go anywhere I want, do whatever I want. There are so many things that I am thankful for.

    I am thankful for my family which is the reason I live. I love the fact that even tough we aren't that well off, we still stay and stick for one another. I am thankful for all the things that are free... true friends, love, faith, hope, and everything that make my life easy. I am thankful for the challenges which makes me stronger. I am thankful the things I have done right in my life. There are a lot of things to e thankful for and the important thing is to remember them everyday.

    I'm thankful for my family and friends, for having being blessed with health and the opportunity to study and live in a peaceful place. I guess we regularly take things for granted and forget how lucky we are to not live in a war zone, to have a roof over our heads and food on our table.

    I am thankful for my Mom who deserves the best of everything. For all the jolly people that remind me that happiness is a choice; for childhood memories; for the warm and beautiful sunshine; for soulful music; for loyal and thoughtful friends; for healthy salads; for my five senses - vision, hearing, taste, smell and touch; for a good laugh when I truly need it; for freshly baked bread; for things that I may never fully understand like dreams; for conquering my fear of heights; And I am thankful for being able to love against all odds.

    What am I thankful for? 2017 has been a rough year. I didn't get any stability in terms of my career, it seems that whatever probably work that came--that I believe will help me to move on with my career--- turned out to be taken away and never materialized. Opportunities thin every month and it has been topped with unexpected problems in between that I never thought would run me over while dealing with one. Some close family failed me, not once but twice, on different circumstances. Bullied by almost everyone. Waking up in the middle of the night dealing with stress. Psoriasis flared like they never flared up before. And so much more...

    So you're asking, what am I thankful for? When in fact it seemed too much negativity has happened. When they say life is like a wheel, sometimes you're on top, sometimes you're at the bottom. Well, for me, it felt like I am at the bottom and a dog sniffed and peed on me. That's life these days.

    But....

    I am thankful. Everyday I wake up and try my best to stand on my knees and acknowledge that I am not alone in this journey. I may stumble upon unbearable depths in life. Doubts and fear try to overshadow faith but I always prayed that God would remind me that this too shall pass. That I should be grateful that I am alive and able. My husband and kid is always by my side. My family may fail me every once in a while, but I was always reminded that they too are not immune to the hardships of life just like me, and that they may be getting by on their own hardships just like I am. Thankful that amidst all the misunderstanding, I still know I love them more than the hurt I received. Everybody else is battling their own battles. I am thankful for the awareness of everyone around me that they me be going through what I've been going through. I was more keen to observe since. I am thankful that life is sometimes throwing sticks to make me more appreciative of the little things that come my way. I am thankful that even though my immune system isn't doing its job properly, I am still presented with healing. Thankful that I found out there are numerous things I can still do despite my current situation. So you see, these are the things I am thankful for. And more.

    So I hope whoever reads this will somehow find comfort that your life is still full of the things you should be thankful for even though a dog peed on you while at he bottom of the pit.
