Borrowed from my one of my FB friends....
A young woman was sitting at her dining table, worried about taxes to be paid,
housework to be done and to top it all, her extended family was coming over for
festival lunch the next day. She was not feeling very thankful at that time.
As she turned her gaze sideways, she noticed her young daughter scribbling
furiously into her notebook.
“My teacher asked us to write a paragraph on “Negative Thanks Giving” for
homework today.” said the daughter.
“She asked us to write down things that we are thankful for, things that make
us feel not so good in the beginning, but turn out to be good after all.”
With curiosity, the mother peeked into the book. This is what her daughter
wrote:
- “I’m thankful for Final Exams, because that means vacations will start soooooon. Yeahhh.
- I’m thankful for bad-tasting medicine, because it helps me feel better and throws away cold / fever etc.
- I’m thankful for waking up to alarm clocks, because it means I’m able to hear the sounds of alarm clock, feel its dawn, realize the start of new day and I am still alive.”
It then dawned on the mother, that she had a lot of things to be thankful for!
She thought again…
She had to pay taxes but that meant she was fortunate to be employed.
She had housework to do but that meant she had a shelter to live in.
She had to cook for her many family members for lunch but that meant she had a
family with whom she could celebrate.
Moral:
What is the positive in your negatives?
Look at the better part of life today and make your everyday a great day.
