be more grateful

”..this is harder than i thought.. i can’t sincerely be grateful because i am in pain.. the loss of my love have left me stucked.. stranded.. lost.. i actually don’t know where to go.. i want to continue living.. to pursue my dreams but i ache too much.. i can’t think.. i can’t breathe.. my drive have escaped me somewhere.. i don’t want to feel anymore.. to be numb of y feelings.. of my hurts.. i wanted to be aware of my blessings everday, but the emptyness of having lost my love has blinded me.. i know that the person i love is happy with somebody else now.. i just can’t seem to let go.. i can’t move on.. what do i need to do?!”

”..i’ve been out work for a year.. well, almost.. i have been working with my dad in the family business but then i don’t really consider that work.. why?! well, because it’s really not my cup of tea.. and honestly, to do nothing but sleep and eat for three hundred and sixty-five days.. well, you’ll be in the brim of sanity.. a little more, and you’ll probably go crazy.. i resigned my stable job for a taste of my dreams.. and well, i almost got them.. almost.. so i was left with what if’s and should have’s and could have’s.. and more wishes and more regrets.. i decided to take a rest.. and well, my rest was way too long overdue.. don’t get me wrong, it was fun the first few months.. but then you’ll get bored and depressed.. and well, for someone like me who craves adventure and loves a good challenge.. it really sucks doing nothing.. and now, finally.. after some sleepless nights and silent contemplations.. and being grateful.. i finally am starting my first day on my new job.. i’m still a lttle far form my coveted dream.. but i know i’m getting there.. wish me luck everyone.. better yet.. ask God to bless me as i go on.. thank you god for my new job..”

“with what the world is going through right now, all those pain and hurts and suffering and prejudice, it’s a wonder and even a question that one good thing happening are not answered with a heartfelt thank you.. sometimes, i ask myself why people seem to be giving out a lot of anger with just so little mistake but is slow to give out a simple gratefulness when it is badly needed.. why is it hard for people to say thank you when there is so much to thank for.. we wake up in the morning having renewed hope.. we have the sunset to be thankful for the day before and the sunrise with a promise of a new day.. why don’t we thank the rainbows because we have eyes to see them.. to thank music because we can hear them.. to thank good food because we can taste them.. and to thank a friend or family because we can feel their touch.. we don’t need to look for reasons because they are everwhere.. we only need to look with our eyes and thank from our souls..”
