Being Grateful

I am grateful that I have a roof over my head.

I am grateful that I have good health.

I am grateful that my family members are healthy.

I am grateful that I live in a peaceful community.

Being grateful is an easy thing to do. As well as being thankful and appreciative.

Too many times have I heard of people complaining of things that happened or did not happen in their lives.

I believe we should live in the moment and take time to appreciate people around us.

Gratitude will put things into perspective. Always complaining about life but not taking pro-active measures to improve is not a positive thing to do.

A gratitude journal or list is a good way to start. It really puts things in perspective as it focuses on your accomplishments in life.

Never think that you have not achieved anything in life to be grateful for.

Waking up in the morning to face a brand new day is in itself an achievement.

I am grateful that I still have this life to live.

BLOG-OLAN : Why Blog

I have mentioned before that this blog isn't my first attempt at writing.

I could never maintain my previous blogs because I did not have a focus and reason to blog.

I am in a quest to find myself and to see the extent of my capabilities in terms of writing articles with good, meaningful content.

I grew up with not English as my first language. So to blog in a language that is never on the tip of my tongue is not easy.

I think in a different language, and I have to translate my thoughts into an entirely different language.

I do have an option to write in my own native language.

However that would not achieve my goal of reaching a wide spectrum of readers as possible as English language is probably the most commonly spoken language in the world.

By doing all these, I hope to be able to accomplish these goals:

1. improve my writing skills 
2. improve my English grammar
3. to be able to express my thoughts in an organised manner
4. to build a blog into a brand that I could be truly proud of
5. to use my long forgotten research skills into writing a good piece of article

So for the time being, if you see any typos, grammatical or contraction errors, please forgive yours truly.

I am a lifelong learner :)
