A List Of Feel Goods
Today is thanksgiving day. Although it is not a traditional celebration for my family and from where I come from, I’m making use of the opportunity to say my thoughts of appreciation of what I am grateful for.
I’ve learned that a sense of gratitude is important to generate positive energy.
So here is the top 10 list of what I’m appreciative for:
1) I am thankful for the family that I have; a loving husband, my two beautiful kids and my caring parents.
2.) I am thankful for the roof over my head and the food that I get to eat everyday.
3.) I am thankful that I am able and well; without which I wouldn’t be able to do half the things I would like to accomplish in my lifetime.
4.) I am thankful for the many experiences that I have that makes me realise how resourceful I am.
5.) I am thankful that I have learned about times when I do not feel particularly confident or secure, that I do the best I can.

7.) I am thankful to learn that I should stop comparing against others but to measure progress relative to where I come from every step of the way.
8.) I am thankful that I have learned to perceive high standards as inspirational goals rather than as pressure to perform.
9.) I am thankful that I have learned my kids do not need a supermom but just to be fully present in their lives.
