Top 10 Things I am Thankful For!
People mostly remember to be thankful for all the things they have around Thanksgiving time. At all other times, we are almost complaining about everything we want and don’t have! Can’t blame us, can you? After all it’s easier to focus on what we don’t have, rather than what we do have.
Whether it’s around Thanksgiving or any other time of the year, it’s important to take time out and remember all of the things to be thankful for that many of us take for granted.
So this week, I decided to jot down all those things that I have in my life and I am grateful for!
- My Little Man
Obviously, he tops my list! He is definitely not a ‘thing’ but he is the one thing in my life that I am grateful for everyday! He lights up my life and makes every challenge I face worth it.
- My Parents
I consider myself fortunate to have the best parents in the world. I know, most kids who love their parents think the same way.
- My Sister and Brother-in law
My sister is also my best friend and my brother-in law is more than a brother to me. They are my most favorite couple and also my son’s favorite people.
- My Career
I have changed careers quite a few times, nevertheless I am grateful to be in a profession that makes me happy.
- My Friends
My friends have been the constant companions through the ups and downs in my life. I can’t stress how grateful I am to find friends like them.
- Good Health
Good health is something we all take for granted. Even if your health isn’t the best, if you have at least a few working parts, then that’s something to be thankful for!
- Books
Every person who loves to read would be thankful for the ability to read and for books. And of course for the people who write amazing books!
- Gifts
The festive season adds so much joy because of gifts. So let’s be thankful for the gifts, to be able to buy them and also receive them!
- Faith
I am thankful for my religion, for my faith in it. It gives me the strength I need to face the daily, weekly, monthly, annual challenges of my life!
- Bloggerdom
Last but definitely not the least, I am thankful for this bloggerdom, blogosphere, the friends I have made here and all the lovely blogs I get to read on a daily basis!
With so many things to be thankful for, can a girl ask for anything more? What are you thankful for today? Let me know in the comments!

But, what made me giggle about this post was not gratitude: "a few working parts!"
