How many of you started out this year
wanting something, hoping for something, dreaming of something and wishing for
something with all your might and it came true this year?
And how many of you after it came true
quickly moved on to hoping and wishing for something else on your wish list?
Not really taking the time to fully appreciate what you received
I’m holding up my hands here and saying I’m
definitely guilty as charged!
I was talking to one of my closest and
dearest friends yesterday and she said something that stuck with me. She talked
about “riding the wave” which can be applied to anything you are going through
in life. She also mentioned that you can’t ask for something, get it and then
be ungrateful.
This got me thinking of how easy it is for
us to be fickle (as described above) and how sometimes we have such a big list
of wants that we don’t really stop to smell the roses or appreciate what we
have already been blessed with.
I don’t know if you guys feel the same but
I also realised that sometimes after I have received a blessing, I move on and
almost forget that I received it. Or sometimes I get so bogged down by life
itself that I forget to be thankful for my simple and daily blessings.
I decided to look up the meaning of the word THANKSGIVING and this is what the dictionary said
