Was humbled by Ivin’s sharing today, as well as the reminder in the message by Uncle Wilson on Being Still. I could identify with the term “worry-wart”, because I am one most of the time, at times unconsciously as well.

In my previous post, I grumbled and ranted, in my anger and sort of resentment. An ex colleague’s call also reminded me yet again, that I ought to be thankful for the blessings that were so important in a moment, but somehow just slipped my mind in my frustration.

It’s so easy to focus on the nonsense in your life, you simply forget that you ought to be thankful for alot of other things, some of which are glaringly obvious.

I am thankful for financial security, even in times of recession.

I am thankful for a job. Even though I grumble alot about the last min sai kang that we have to do.

I am thankful for 9 individuals, i.e, a small class, that will be with me for the rest of the year.

I am thankful for time spent with my parents and friends, which are precious and deeply treasured.

I have a reason to sing, I have a reason to worship.
