Remember to be grateful

 

We often only think about gratefulness during the month of thanks BUT shouldn’t we think about it more often?

Today I want to write down a few things that I am grateful for and maybe you guys can take a moment and do the same. I know life gets busy and we just keep chugging along, often getting frazzled by what life throws at you and sometimes you do want to throw it back at life, but we often tend to forget about the constants in our life, the things we should be grateful for.

I am grateful for my family!

Life isn’t always easy nor is it easy for a family. BUT they always have my back and help me figure things out. My father, for example, is always there to lend me an ear to just vent and he gives me advice on what to do or what not to do. My daughter is always there to be a silly distraction when things get overwhelming, even though she may not know that I am overwhelmed or stressed, she always makes me laugh. A true theater kid ha ha My husband is always there for me with advice, a shoulder to lean on, a bear hug giver when I need it. I can talk to him and he can talk to me. We are a unite, we are in this together.

I am grateful for the roof over my head and food to eat

I know it sounds so cliché, but I am grateful to have a roof over my head. I am also grateful to have food in my pantry and fridge. We often think that it’s just a basic necessity and that it is normal to have on hand, but we would be wrong with this assumption, there are many people that don’t have the luxury of a roof over their head or food on the table. So, be thankful that you can eat when you are hungry.

I am grateful for my Korean teacher

This time around I am also grateful for my Korean teacher. He takes the time out of his day to teach me his language. He listens to my not perfect pronunciation, to my mistakes and helps me fix them. Every week, we sit online, and he teaches me new grammar, new vocabulary and answers my questions about little things or even big things. I am grateful that he is a patient person and that he is a fun person that I can have fun with and laugh with. So thank you Byeongho!
