Gratitude 1.

So yesterday night I was tagged by Alice for the Gratitude Challenge, which requires me to be showing my gratitude to the good things (and bad things) that are happening to me for 5 consecutive days and I am required to tag 3 other friends each day to pass the Challenge on.  I thought this is quite nice, because firstly I won’t have to pour a whole bucket of ice over my body, and I think we should always count our blessings.  When I saw the tag last night, I was just ready to go to sleep so I decided that I would do it today instead, so here goes…

1. I’m grateful to be able to wake up this morning.  Not so much in a sense that I woke up in time for work, but more of being able to be alive.  There are many people who are here today but gone tomorrow, so to be able to be alive is perhaps the biggest blessing of all.

2. To be able to have dinner with my mum and sis tonight was good.  Both my sis and I have been busy and sometimes we don’t even get to see each other at home.  So to be able to have a nice little Mid-Autumn Festival was nice.

3.  My promotion has been confirmed.  There was some unexpected events along the way, but since this official letter has arrived, I couldn’t care less.  But if you are interested to hear more, we can always have a chat over chicken and beer.  One thing is, I am beginning to believe even more that it’s God’s will to make me stay in this post when I was pondering if I should quit my job 4 and a half years ago.

So for today I would like to tag 3 friends whom I believe have not been tagged before, and are probably not already doing this.  And I would start with some of my Korean friends because it’s Chuseok today – so let’s have… Serina, Minjung and Jung-ik!  So if you choose to accept the Gratitude Challenge, you will have to, for the next 5 days, write 3 things that you feel grateful for, and then you can nominate 3 other friends each day to continue the Challenge.  Let’s spread this sense of gratitude around and let love fill our world!
