Hi lovely mylotters!

It's been a while, isn't it? Ahhh! A lot of things has happened. Worse things actually and it almost made me crazy but I still made it to this day and I am very thankful of that. One thing I realize, being in a worse situation has always a lesson to teach you and that's a reason to be thankful. Having the real people who care for you is another reason to be thankful and I am thankful to have real people in times that I needed them like my family, my boss and his wife and of course, our own mylotter; mtrguanlao! I haven't met her in person but I am glad I knew her online and I treat her like my own mother. She's sweet and very supportive! I am thankful to have her as my second "nanay" (mother). The saying There's always a rainbow after the storm is soo true! ^_^ I am also thankful to be able to share everything that comes in my mind freely here in mylot! Be thankful and be a blessing everyone!

good day edsss17, your main title says it all, that although things have gone worst, there are still reasons why we should be thankful. on my part here, me and my brother have gone too far for our fight. as a result, we are not anymore comfortable when we bump our shoulders here in our home. and since we are just living under one roof, it is quite hard to avoid seeing each other. well, i am just hoping that God will answer my prayers and petitions. that, one day, God will give me my prayer request.

I am glad that you are a person who never gives up. Life has a lot of ups and down, it is up to us if we want to get out of the down moments. There are others who just don't trust and just let themselves to be down. They call themselves losers. For you girl, you are a winner. Winners never lose hope. There is always a way to a willing heart. Everything is up to you, not up to us. Think wisely in everything that you have to decide!

Hi natlie. I learned that if I take life negatively, nothing good will happen to me and the people who depends on me. So, I have to be strong and take the positive path. Thanks and you too!

I agree 100%, that whatever predicament we may be in, we must always find reasons to be happy even if it's just a small thing. Every little thing counts, you know. There must be a reason why we are facing these challenges; whatever the reason is, it shall be revealed in due time. So keep up your positive attitude. This too shall pass.

Im glad that you were able to survive all your trials. It's true though sometimes we have so many problems, there are all so many things that we should be thankful. For one, we are still alive. We are blessed because we still have time to enjoy life. All we have to do is entrust our life to the Lord and everything will be just fine. Whenever we encounter problems, we must think that those are only trials so that we can become more strong. We can surpass anything as long as we have faith in the Lord. Have a nice day. stay happy:)

Hi Jell! :) Yes, that's what I'm trying to say. We owe everything to Lord and thanking Him for what we have is more than enough for Him. Its just a simple thing but sometimes, we forgot to do it. Have a nice day too and God bless!

Hi! Yes bitter experiences in life give us some invaluable lessons and value of happy moments increase after we face bad time. Though you have not narrated what exactly happened with you and how your boss helped you come out of it, yet we believe that - 'all well that ends well'. Hope now life would running smoother for you. All the best.

I am also thankful to my sister who makes me laugh even though we hate each other sometimes. I am thankful that I am a live and be able to fulfill all of my ambitions in the future.

Hi tessa! :) Siblings are always like that. Me and my brother always fight and hate each other but when I can't even see him for a day, I missed him. Despite the age gap, I still become childish when me and my brother fight. Tsk! I'm the eldest, to be exact. Hahaha! We, who still have mothers, are all lucky! :) And for that, we are thankful. We should be!

Hello! Indeed we have a lot of things to be thankful in this life. Been through hell and back too and i'm pretty sure the rocky part of my life is still not over yet. There'll be more I will be facing and as always I will try to triumph over them. I am thankful that you have shared this today. It's such an inspiration. Have a happy weekend!

Hi toni. I believe the same thing. There will be more rocky part of my life to be faced ahead. And I'm ready for it, I guess... so, bring it on!!!

Yes, my friend we should always be thankful to God for all the things he has been giving us, specially for letting us savor our lives. Yes, we may have lots of problem, but these are things that makes us stronger. And when we are in a not happy situation, think of those who were born blind and with defects, yet they are able to live happily. Have a nice weekened, my friend. Haven't seen you around for quite sometime.

It's really good to know that our friends here were able to overcome the obstacles in life that are hindering us from achieving our goals in life. This part of life. It doesn't matter what kind of problems came along our way, what matters most is how we handle things and because of those problems we came to know who are our real friends are. We will never know who will be there at our worst time if we didn't experience such. Have a nice day!
