31 July 2010, Saturday

Today, I am grateful that:

1. Almighty Allah has kept me alive so that I could still devote time and service to my family
2. Almighty Allah sent Amir Hussain to me to be my soulmate
3. Almighty Allah provided me with not just one, but four bundles of joy
4. We are contented and fun loving as a family
5. Allah chose me to be Mak and Ayah's daughter
6. Almighty Allah's bounties, big and small 
7. I've imparted some useful life lessons and English lessons to all my students in the hope that they will use what they have acquired as part of their learning curve.

(And when your Lord made it known: If you are grateful, I would certainly give to you more, and if you are ungrateful, My chastisement is truly severe.) (Ibrahim 14:7)

Gratitude and Happy Birthday Sofiah (My Younger Sister)

"Cah, Happy Birthday"

When we are young we count the months. 

When we are youths we add the years. 

When we are middle aged we drop the years. 

When we reach old age we are proud of our years. 

Eventually we forget the years and just have fun when it's our birthday. 

Have fun on your birthday whatever your age may be."

*****************

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. 

It turns what we have into enough, and more. 

It turns denial into acceptance, chaos into order, confusion to clarity. 

It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. 

Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates vision for tomorrow.
