What are you thankful for this year?

 I’ve been tagged by Donabel for this one.  Thanks, sweetie!  We may not  have Thanksgiving holiday here in the Philippines unlike in the U.S. but to be thankful for so many things need not wait for a certain holiday, right?  So, let’s  pause and reflect on the blessings bestowed on us this year.

Be thankful that you don’t already have everything you desire,If you did, what would there be to look forward to?
Be thankful when you don’t know somethingFor it gives you the opportunity to learn.

Be thankful for the difficult times

During those times you grow.

Be thankful for your limitations

Because they give you opportunities for improvement.

Be thankful for each new challenge

Because it will build your strength and character.

Be thankful for your mistakes

They will teach you valuable lessons.

Be thankful when you’re tired and weary

Because it means you’ve made a difference.

GRATITUDE can turn a negative into a positive.

Find a way to be thankful for your troublesand,

they can become your blessings.

Here are the 7 things that I am most grateful for this year:

Firstly, I am grateful that I will be celebrating my 16th year of cancer survivorship on Dec. 14. with healthy body cleared from the dreaded  disease.

1. I am grateful for having Hubby as my lifetime partner. And to have celebrated our 28th wedding anniversary with no major marital problem whatsoever, all through out the years of being together.
2. I am grateful for my two helpful children.  That they are always  helping  in their own capacity.
3. I am grateful that Hubby is still with the same employer for 24 years now and  this company employer continually gives its employees same benefits despite the global crisis.  Their hospitalization benefit absolutely saved my life.
4. I am grateful for having learned to use the computer, and grateful for Hubby’s patience, generosity and kindness on imparting his techy knowledge to me and for buying me my own laptop.
5. I am very grateful for my angel (housemaid) for keeping the house for us. Coz it would be very difficult for me to face my lappy if she’s not around.
6. Last but not least, am so thankful that I feel God is forever watching over us.

I wanna pass this to all my blogger buddies who have blessings to be thankful for.   I hope you’ll grab this now and announce your gratefulness.
