A new year. Yes, it's a new year for me. Today I celebrate another birthday and from this day, a new year is about to follow. Today is the first day of my 365 Days of Gratitude and I have a lot to be thankful for.
First and foremost, do I really need to create a blog like this in order to express my gratitude for every blessing and obstacle strewn on my path to liberation and enlightenment? I know a lot would love to say NO and I would say NO myself. However, I believe that chronicling this year would be able to help me go through a lot of lessons in life easier since I am aware that putting into words some of my emotions would help me deal with life better. I don't really need to worry if nobody would bother to read this blog. People do not need to care about my words. I just want to keep this journey through life on this online journal. If by chance there will be people who would bother to read my posts, I am grateful. Thank you!
Now let's get back on track...
It's my birthday and this is my first official post and it's almost midnight in my side of the world. What to I have to be grateful for today? I am grateful for the gift of life. I am grateful that even though I am not perfect, there are people who give a damn about me and love me in spite of it all. I am grateful for my family. I am grateful for my friends. I am grateful for the people who do not understand me because through them I strive to understand myself better too. I am grateful for the laughter of my nieces and nephews who never got tired of kissing me and saying Happy Birthday to me. I am grateful for the handful of great friends who really take time to talk with me albeit through online correspondence since they are far from where I am right now. I am grateful for the air I breathe, the food I eat, and every blessing bestowed on me this day.
I am grateful for everything. I am grateful for joy, life, light, love. I am grateful for my soul.
