Few days from now, we are entering a new year. I am thankful for my life even though I did not have almost every thing I wish I have in life. I want to feel discontented or feel disappointed with my life but that's because I focus on things that I don't have and do not count the blessings I actually have.
Thanks for the health I have, can't remember any medical issues I have this year except from some colds and headaches. Thanks that we finish paying for my computer. Thanks we are able to pay our monthly electric bills, water bills, and other bills. Thanks my family members are complete. Thanks it's not yet the end of the world since I bought a lot of yarns for my crochet, I still have more crochet projects to do. Thanks last summer we had a great travel or trip out of town. Thanks I am able to see all my wrong and all my mistakes and hope to avoid committing those same mistakes again next year.
Am I a loser or winner this year? No matter how I wish I am such a great winner, sometimes I do lose but that is life. Like what I read this morning:
Ecclesiastes 4:4
4 I realized the reason people work hard and try to succeed: They are jealous of each other. This, too, is useless, like chasing the wind.

I know that we are truly blessed with each day that we are here and been able to be with and communicate with family and friends is a Blessing. I'm leaving my past behind and opening the present of 2013.

That is true, we have been so truly blessed, we just don't have that great sense of gratitude if we focus on what is missing in our life.

Indeed there are more things to thank God for than things to feel sorry about. We have blessings more than we can see and appreciate, we just have to open our eyes and see how generous and gracious our God has been. I myself could not even finish mentioning all the blessings God has given me. He is a good God and no one can ever surpass his goodness. All praises be unto Him! Thank you Lord for everything!

There are things to be thankful for and things to feel sorry but let us just thank God for his wonderful grace and generosity to help us survive everyday.

Year 2012 is a year I learn what to say and not to say.
I learn about different industry and I was blessed to
work in 2 different companies this year. I learn that
not everyone are kind, thoughtful and appreciative. I
learn to live life and appreciates what and who we have.
May God opens His windows of blessings and shower us
with love, kindness, joy, good health, happiness and
wonderful surprises in year 2013! Thank you God a
new day everyday ...

I also learn a lot of things each year. I also learn about different industry and hopefully have a new job this year. I'm thankful to be given a chance to correct my mistakes.

You know, I have definitely been through my share of struggles this year, but I do have to admit that I have a lot to be thankful for this year as well. For starters, I'm thankful that we haven't had to go through the kinds of medical issues that we've been through in the last several years. I'm also very thankful for the fact that we've been able to make it through this year in one piece more or less.
That said, I do have to admit that I am looking forward to the year to come because I feel that next year is really going to be a good year for our family.

We have our shares of struggles and victories. I am not sure what this year holds for me but let's look forward with positive hope.
