Good Things

It has been a good day for me. Although nothing extraordinary happened, I was in high spirits the whole day. It wasn't the happy 'I'm on cloud nine. I'm on a high' kind. Not that kind of happy. It was more of feeling grateful...gratefully happy to be exact. It's like there's this huge sigh of happy relief that yesterday wasn't a continuation of today...and that I was able to start and end the day positively. I feel 'gratefully happy' that I have had a productive day without feeling sluggish or bored. Perhaps I would have to sleep earlier from now on. Just like what I did last night, because it produced good results for me today.

Since I'm in such a happy mood, I would like to reflect on the many good things in life... both small and big, expected or unexpected. (Thanks to Christine Castro's maganda.org for inspiring me to have my own list too.) This is one way of helping me not forget what I have....and what I do not have as well. Although I think the former compensates so much already that I don't really see the latter as something that is utterly lacking in my life. It's something that I can learn to deal and live with. I think it's just a matter of simply accepting the fact that you can't have everything. By everything I mean both the material and non-material aspects. In life, you're bound to win some and lose some. You can't just hoard all the good things in life. You got to share if not give some away too.

And here are the good things...in no particular order.
