“God gave you a gift of 86,400 seconds
today. Have you used one to say “Thank you?” ~William A. Ward

From the
time you step out of your bed and as your day progresses, we all have certain “Aha Moments”, don’t we? It may be
anything, a call from an old friend, a hundred rupee note in your jeans pocket or
a recipe that turned out to be a yummy. It could be anything that gives you a
feel good factor, anything that delighted you, which made you happy for that
particular moment.
Right now as
I type this I can hear the sound of the raindrops, I can hear the thunder and
can see the lightning. Now close your eyes and give yourself few seconds, think
about all those moments, which made you happy, which made you smile and just be
grateful for those. The moments can be from your past, from your childhood or
from your current day.
Join me on
the fourth day of the “Gratitude Therapy” and let us be grateful for all those
small moments, which left a wide smile on our lips and a forever imprint on our
hearts.
  1. I am truly grateful to the
    moments I spent with my sister and my best friend Smita. They made my growing
    years memorable.
  2. I am truly grateful to my English
    teacher who gave me 9 out of 10 in an essay written by me. That really was a
    big motivation for me.
  3. I am truly grateful to my class
    teacher who selected me for the Annual Day dance performance. She believed that I
    had the potential and from that day until date, Dance remains to be an
    inseparable part of me.
  4. I am truly grateful to the moment
    when I got the first prize for the Elocution Competition, held in my school.
  5. I am truly grateful to the moment
    when I got my SSC results. I never thought I would pass, as I had Chicken pox,
    but I managed to get 78%.
  6. I am truly grateful to the moment
    when I saw my name in the Merit list of my favourite college.
  7. I am truly grateful to the
    moments I spent with my college group, the masti we did, the fun, the fights
    everything. They made my college life memorable.
  8. I am truly grateful to the
    moment, when my poem was published in my college magazine. That was when, I truly
    felt, I could write.
  9. I am truly grateful to the
    moment, when my sister got married. That’s when I realized her importance more.
    That’s when I started to respect her more and that’s when I became more
    responsible.
  10. I am truly
    grateful to the moment, when my students passed with flying colours. Nothing is
    more precious than seeing your students beaming with joy.
  11. I am truly grateful to the
    moment, when I got my Graduation certificate. I had literally cried, holding
    that convocation certificate.
  12. I am truly grateful to the moment,
    when I cleared my first job interview.
  13. I am truly grateful to the
    moment, when I received my first paycheck. It was indeed a proud moment for me.
  14. I am truly grateful to the
    moment, when I got married. I started valuing my parents more.
  15. I am truly grateful to the
    moments spent and the ones I am spending with my hubby and my family.
  16. I am truly grateful to the
    moment, when I first held Samu in my hand. A chubby, cute little girl she was.
    She adds so much joy into my world.
  17. I am truly grateful to all those
    moments, when Samu makes me smile, when she compliments me and hugs me.
  18. I am truly grateful to the
    moment, when my sister makes Pav-bhaji for me.
  19. I am truly grateful to the
    moment, when Samu and her cousin Navneet play with each other. It brings back
    those childhood memories.
  20. I am truly grateful to the
    moment, when my MIL gets me tea in the mornings. It matters a lot to me.
  21. I am truly grateful to all those
    moments I spend with my office colleagues. They are a bunch of crazy people who
    make me smile, come what may.
  22. I am truly grateful to the moment, when I get lovely comments from my friends.
  23. I am truly grateful to the
    moment, when I receive a call from my parents, just when I must be thinking
    about them.
 

I am truly grateful to these
splendid moments of my Life. Thank you…!
The list is endless and I am sure
you guys will also have plenty of such “Aha
Moments”. So what are you waiting for, just grab a pen or post a comment
and tell me more about such moments.
If you wish to participate all you need to do is follow these rules:
  • For
    next thirty days write about the things you are grateful for (it maybe
    in your blog or in your personal journal, not necessary that you write
    ten things.)
  • Do post your link in the comment box, if you have a blog and have started this therapy.
  • You can even post pictures, in case you are unable to write.
Keep Smiling and be Grateful,

Gayatri

  1. Whoa!! That was a long list Gayu 🙂

    It is such a contrast na just yesterday we were talking about whether it would difficult to get 10 things to be happy about and today you have 23 in the list!!

    Way to go dear…cheers to all of these moments and many more to come.

    I see a lot of similarities in this though – dancing, elocution, writing the 1st poem…etc etc 🙂

  2. I am also grateful to those moments, when my sister got marriage. Also to those moments when she gave 2 beautiful nephews to me. Those moments increased my love and respect for her more.

    I am also grateful to my first manager because of her I was able to start my professional career even though I was not aware how to operate computer.

    This attitude, is really working wonders. I am feeling much relaxed and I am sure by the end of the next 25 days, my thoughts will be much clearer.

    Thank you for being a support.

    @Chetan
