Thankful with a smile
The beauty of life is, as nicely put by Forrest Gump, you never know what you gonna get. You could be happy, and suddenly the happiness just gets stripped away from you. You could be sad, and the next you know is you get a phone call from an old friend and suddenly all sadness are gone just like that.
Happy, sad, or whatever emotion that you are in right now, that is exactly what you are intended to feel.
Trials and tribulations are also there. No matter how hard it gets, I believe that the Almighty, your God, whatever belief that you may hold, will not and never bestow upon you if you cannot handle it. So yes, at that point of time you may feel helpless, weak, vulnerable, but that too shall pass, although you dont know how long will it lasts. Seek guidance though, pray, believe.
Be thankful and grateful instead for what you have. For the family who loves you and stays with you no matter how bad you screw up. For friends who support you and stick with you even though sometimes you neglect them. For your BFFs who stay up late and go for drinks with you and listen to you rambling on and on; or tell jokes that make you laugh until your cheeks hurt. For your children who smile and wake you up in the morning with a kiss and say ‘Good morning mommy.’ For your loved one who is always there to support you and love you and care about you, and putting up with your irrational fears. For your health, and for just being able to wake up in the morning and breathe.
I am thankful.
Thank you and good night.
