Happy New month people , it
seems like yesterday when we were all outside with our fireworks ushering in
the year 2013 and slowly,hours tunrned into days, the days turned into weeks ,weeks
into months and now we are in the last month of the year waiting for 2014 to be
ushered in once again.As you all know thanksgiving was last week and now with just 24 days to christmas,i dont know
about you but for me , everyday is thanksgiving. Being thankful for just
seeing and being part of a new and beautiful day is what i'm always thankful
for . What are the things you are thankful for ? If you can't seem to think of
anything at all,well you can be thankful for the following for starters.
1. WATER.
Among The
little things we take for granted ,water is one of them.Imagine living without
good water to drink or water to clean up daily,That would be a disaster,Yet
millions and millions of people around the world have fallen ill and have died
due to lack of clean water.This is something we should all be thankful for.
2. POWER SUPPLY.
As i child growing up, we
sometimes studied at home using candle lights and today most homes cant even
boast of candles how much more electricity,its quite unfortunate that with all
the sources of energy which has been made available to us in the world ,some countries are yet to experience
electricity in their homes. Hospitals carry out surgeries in dark rooms,
children complaining of poor eye sight from reading in the dark,the elderly
dieing of cold because of lack of heating,If you have an hour of electricity
available to you ,that's enough reason to be thankful.
3. NATURAL WEALTH.
So you've been waking up to a bright and sunny day,
and the grasses on your lawn have
recieved both rain and sunlight in moderation,and not waking up to witness a
huge storm,typhoon,tsunami or an earthquake,This is the natural wealth which comes
freely to you,It's something to be thankful for.
4. (MOTD).
Outfit of the day (ootd),
Face of the day (fotd),fashion , beauty, makeup ,these are the things bloggers
like me all like to talk about ,but what if you had no food to eat or share, i
see a lot of starvation and farmine in some parts of the world, we see
them all on tv and even witness it
around us, yet we have food daily on our tables to share as our my meal of the day (MOTD). Be thankful not wasteful.
5. GOOD HEALTH.
5. GOOD HEALTH.
There is a saying that ''health is
wealth '' ,good health care doesnt come cheap, even doctors can not predict the
state of your health tomorrow and for some, there is no access to health care.If you are not
spending your enitre wages towards
healthcare bills or prescription drugs then you truly need to be thankful.If
you have not had any reason to see a doctor or visit the clinic for the past
weeks ,days or months,be grateful.
6. SHELTER.
Have you got a roof above you?
A place to eat ,sleep and play? If yes .Be Thankful.
7. LIFE
Are you breathing? Are you
walking ? Can you see or Read this ? Did you wake up to see the last month of
the year 2013? If Yes ,then go on your knees and be thankful to God because you
are Alive.
These are just a few of a
million things i am grateful for , and will forever be .
WHAT ARE YOU THANKFUL FOR ?
