This quote caught my attention and had me paused in my tracks to digest each and every sentence.
These quotes are such mundane things in life that often are taken for granted and easily lamented upon. Earlier, I have written 2 posts that require much reflection and appreciation of my life. The first is “It’s the simple things that count” where I paused for a moment to reflect on what I have now at this point of my life and really find much to be contented with. The second post is “Reminders to myself as a wife and mummy” which reminded me to do checks on myself on my attitude towards my hubby and children. I find such self-checks extremely important and meaningful to me as I tend to get blinded with the busy schedule everyday. It’s so easy to forget what you already have.
So, here it is, these quotes lead me to appreciate being able to work, being able to hear, walk, talk, having a lovely home and a lovely family, and being alive among many other things that I may conveniently complain about and take for granted.
Have you ever paused in the moment to reflect what you have right now? You may find that you have so many things to be thankful for.
Are you sure I have to be thankful for the alarm? I am not sure how alive I want to be at 5:30… But I take your point and it is a good one.
Yes it’s the first thing I hit out every morning too! I should thank it more if it never rings so that I can wake up on my own. Wow! It works both ways!
I love that poem! I will stop and read it every time as it is such a great reminder on how to count my blessings!
Yes I love it, we have so much to be thankful for. Who ever thought of thanking the laundry?! I will now! Glad to know you like it as much as I do.
That poem always seems to appear when I need it the most, it made my day!
Wow, that is wonderful. So thought-provoking! We should be more aware of things like this to be thankful for. 🙂
It is indeed worth thinking about and good to feel contented!
Great post! I dropped by to say thank you for following my blog and now I have to say thank you for the nice reminder 😉
Thanks and glad you like it!
The one with the shadow and the sunshine is my favorite one… 🙂
