Last Thursday at the most boring class of my semester, I chatted with one of my closest friends. We talked about how certain things in her boyfriend's life got so complicated and messed up. There were a lot of crises that he was facing, my friend's challenged to become even more stronger. We talked about how fast things change in just a split second and how that change could drastically affect one's life. Like the illness that's slowly taking away the father of her boyfriend's life. It was sad because one way or another, that's the reality each of us has to face- death. But I believe with all my heart that everything's going to turn out just fine. Suddenly, Reg gets her journal and asked me to write the things she dictated. She told me to write - Things I'm thankful for. I was moved. I was happy because despite the sadness, we found the true meaning of what we talked about earlier - acknowledging all the good things that life has brought you and being thankful for every single one of it, the good and the bad. Because you'll never know what you have until it's gone.
So, I decided to make this installment/list to remind me everyday that life is... Beautiful. It has a lot to offer and all we have to do is notice it and somehow make it all worthwhile. Whenever I'm sad or blue, I shall go back to this page and be reminded of the good things in life, things that should not be taken for granted. I am aware that a list of 100 does not cover all the things God has brought unto us which we should all be thankful for, but this is a start. We'll see where this one goes. :)
Whoever got lost and stumbled unto this blog and happened to read this, hello to you! I am hoping that you too are inspired to create something like this or anything of the like. I hope you felt the same way when my friend created her list too. Let's breathe life and enjoy it! :))
XOXO
