I wasn't feeling well on Wednesday and while travelling back home, things got worse. I had very bad abdominal pain. I wanted to get home as soon as possible but got stuck in traffic and it took longer but i'm grateful and thankful that I made it home safely. Nothing serious happened on the bus.
I met an elderly lady who said: "You are so nice, I will pray for you" just for no reason. I was blushing, she totally made my day.
It made me wonder that compliments like this don't cost money but they mean a lot and can make somebody happy. Why don't I try to do that? So I have decided that I will try my best to speak good and try and compliment people. You too should give it a try.
I saw an elderly gentleman who was walking alone finding his way with the help of a walking cane/walking stick. I kept staring at him and started thinking of all the things I have taken for granted.
I have said it before and I say it again, it's the simplest things in life that matters the most and the one we take for granted.
I am thankful for having the opportunity to be one of the person who has a normal body. You and I need to appreciate it a bit more.
Hope you all had a wonderful week. No matter how hard your life may be, always remember that there is someone out there who doesn't have food to eat or a too over their head. Be grateful and thankful for what you have, no matter how big or how small it may be.

A really beautiful thankful post. We take a lot of these things for granted. I always try to compliment people because it really does make people's day, but I find it is not done often enough

I am doing better Rena, thank you for your concern.
DeleteI take things for granted and it's people like this reminds me that I am lucky to have what I have. Unfortunately, not everybody is born with a roof over their head.
Hope you had a wonderful weekend. Take care and stay safe.
Lovely read!

ReplyDeleteYou Are So Right, Naaj! It's Actually The Simple Things That Make Us Complete and Bring Us The Most Joy! Their Presence Isn't Recognized So Much, But Their Ab sens Demeans Our Lives!
Well said, their a sense is what hits us hard and that's when we realise how important it was.
DeleteThis was great, thank you for posting this. I often times get so caught up with my little problems that I forget there are people out there with real problems.
