I haven't been writing lately, but that's only because I'm one of those people who find passion in writing when they're angry, not satisfied, or upset. So I guess this is my way of saying that things have been good lately, and I thank Allah for that. Since I was a teenager, I've always looked up to the those people who have always told me that they write their blessings on a piece of paper before going to sleep everyday; I might not be as committed as those people are, but here are some of the things that I'm thankful for:
1- Friends who are family, and family who are friends.
2- The temperature going from 30-something Celsius to 29C.
3- A place that I call home.
4- To be able to communicate respectfully.
5- Having a reason to live for tomorrow.
6- Staying in contact with people I haven't seen in years.
7- Accepting myself and my loved ones for who they are.
8- Being able to be there for the people I love.
9- My brain.
10- My strength.
11- My ability to realise things.
12- Good food.
13- Dubai.
14- To be able to complete my postgraduate studies.
15- Diminishing my cold symptoms (yay!).
16- My faith.
17- Inner peace.
18- My past.
19- My present.
20- My future.
It felt good to jot down the multiple blessings I'm surrounded by and yet to be surrounded by, so no... I won't be nagging or whining about anything in this blogpost. I'd advise you to do the same before going to bed, take a minute and count some of the things you're thankful for; I guarantee you it would make you feel better instantly.
21- To be able to put my feelings into words.
