This is our wedding picture taken during the blessed day of December 28, 2007. Darwin and I were very grateful to God for the new life He gave to us.

Problems exist

Problems exist no matter how much we don't them. It's part of life, it'll be there until we rest in peace or pieces. I can mention more severe problems about other people I know and here I am so upset because I didn't pass my road test! I want to slap myself realizing that there are people who had more or worst problems than I do! It's funny I actually just realized now while writing this, that I am somehow still blessed and should be grateful! That I got my health, sanity and a bit of money to buy my family's necessities.

Isn't she beautiful? Holding the flowers close to her heart shows a lot of gratitude.

Thinking aloud!

At times, we seat and think aloud what could be our life if we are not what we are today?It's nice to be grateful for good things!

Be grateful. You are blessed.

We wake up everyday thinking we have a mediocre life. Some of us feel so depressed or unlucky that they have this and that problems. Let's just stop for a while and listen to the world. A beggar comes up to you, and you feel disgusted or annoyed by his unrelenting attitude or his stench. So you avoid him or send him away. Just stop, I'm not telling you to sympathize-no. The ability to sympathize I'm afraid cannot be taught or learned. The ability to sympathize is a seed, that everybody has naturally, it only matters how that seed is nurtured and grown. But stop and try to listen. Maybe someone or something is telling you that you have forgotten to be happy, contented and be grateful for what you already have. A neighbor or somebody you know had just gone through the worst event of their life: went to jail, got fired or got evicted etc.. so we feel pitiful a while, but then again proud that we are not like them. Maybe it's just right to feel that way. But maybe it's also time to feel grateful not because we are not like them, but because we are not in their shoes. It's time to think about opportunities we had and have and that it's not only on what we decide to do, but what decisions we can make.

Feeling grateful?

Most of us have a lot to be grateful for

Attitude of Gratitude

Without an attitude of gratitude, my life would be hell.

Are you grateful?

We should be grateful and thankful for what we have now. Sooner or later we will have what we really needed in life not just what we wanted in life? Isn't it?
