What Am I Grateful For This Week ...

Gratitude goes beyond saying thanks as an automated response in return to someone's kindness. It is thankful thinking practised every minute of the day for 365 days in a year. Gratitude should be a way of life. Why?

When we think thankfulness, we speak gratefully and act gratefully. It is a continuous appreciation that shapes our optimism towards everything we see, do and receive. With optimism, we carry hope in our body, mind and spirit. Gratitude adds quality to our life.

"We can only be said to be alive in those moments
when our hearts are conscious of our treasures."
- Thornton Wilder -

It has been an exciting week for me and I am happy to share my random list of gratitude for the week again;

1. While it had been a solemn occasion at my late Uncle's wake, I am grateful for the opportunity to catch up with kins whom I've not seen for a long while and also those I've never met before.

2. I am grateful for the safe and enjoyable drive back to my hometown with my loving sister.

3. I love to write and I am grateful that it has allowed me to earn some pocket-money regularly through ghostwriting and my blog.

4. I am grateful that my penning ability has open the door to an exciting opportunity to ghostwrite a book.

5. I am grateful that my new home is very close to vacant-possession and I am excitingly looking forward to put my renovation ideas to work.

6. I am grateful that I could disciplined myself to exercise and run on the treadmill every day.
