Be grateful for what you have

Yesterday i was feeling abit depressed and blue. I do not know why honest;y because i do not have a very serious reason to be feeling blue. Life is a struggle everyday for everyone but some people are suffering more than others. Sad but very true. I usually pass by some homeless people on my way to work and it gets me thinking what right do u have to be blue?



There are a lot of people who are truly suffering in this world but they move on with their burdens. On Sunday the priest gave a homily in my local church and he said we are always complaining. "There is not enough salt in my food", why are people in my way?, Its too damn hot these days, Its too freaking cold and the list goes on and on. We always look for things to complain about even if there are basically none!

We all need to learn to appreciate Life even when we are not doing well. Look around you, and you will see many things to be grateful for. Breathing comes naturally to us but be grateful that you can draw air without even trying. Be grateful for the rain that waters the ground and cools the air. Be grateful for the sun that warms you. Be grateful for your friends and family. Be grateful to God for creating you in his image and for his continued mercy and love!

Help those who are in deep suffering to be grateful because you care about them. When you are suffering and someone shows you that they care about what you are going through, you will be grateful for them. I am grateful for each and everyone of you because what would life be like without you?
