What Am I thankful for?

Today is Thanksgiving. And the farthest I've seen this celebration is via American films. When it comes to celebration, I love partying with Americans. They just know how to party hard. But hang on a second, Thanksgiving's not just for the Americans right? I mean, people got things to be thankful for...

For today, I would like to list down the things that I want to be thankful for:

I am thankful for who I am today. I'm not perfect. I'm still wishing to be someone else at the back of my head once in a while. I'm no angel. But I'm thankful that I've got the 'bad stuff' in the right places.

I am thankful for the things I have. I could be better than most, but I want more. I am not worried, why should I? When my God does not participate in a recession or any economic crisis? I am thankful to know that when I step out to accomplish God's plan, He is there to meet me and help me every step of the way. I need to step out. He won't direct a stationary object. God will only direct someone who is moving.

I am thankful for my husband. Because of him, I got new set of caring parents and 2 wonderful sisters. Well, people would still hear him tell stories about my tantrums like how I left our car in the middle of an intersection and threw the car keys away or how I scissored up his clothes and threw it over our neighbors' lawn (yup i like throwing things when I'm mad)...but he never gave up on me. At my worst, he was and he is this someone would stand up and say - she's just in that phase in her life, she'll come around. I might complain that there is no romantic bone in his body, but my husband brings out all the goodness in me. And for that, I am forever thankful.

I am thankful for my family. I have parents who fight a lot. In the old days, a classic example is electric fan flying across the room...that's an all time funny story for me and my siblings. And now the fighting is digital as well...they do it on FB...It could be annoying most of the time really...But I am thankful because amidst their fighting, they were able to bring 5 people to this world who's contributing good things to the society. Which brings me to the next thing I am thankful for...

I am thankful for my siblings. They are so loving that there won't be any moment in my life that I would hesitate to be there for them. I am the best eldest sister because of them. They are supportive and my responsibilities in the family is not complicated because of my two sisters and my two brothers.

I am thankful for my friends. I do have lots of friends. Of course the friendships' of different degree and levels. And my schedule's always toxic that I cant get to see anyone on a regular basis. But the good thing is, it doesn't compromise the value of the friendship. I am so blessed because of my POWER friends, the vixens, my MES buddies, Bri, Adette, Helena and my AM shift family, Rose and Barang...Wow...I think I'm gonna make some friends blackmail me for not mentioning their names haha, but no worries because I am sure they love me just the same.


Last, and I could say at some point, the least, I am thankful for my adversaries. I'm not saying I'm here to love them, I'm not that noble yet. But I am thankful for the pain, for the hurt, for the sleepless nights, for the anger. It made me realize, I am greater than the pain, than the hurt, than the anger. They could be optional in my life. However I am thankful for that opportunity to see that though life is not perfect, we have better choices.

So there you go...the things that I am thankful for...Happy Thanksgiving!
