A Grateful Article

I have now discovered the secret of joy despite the hard times. And, yes, it is not a secret anymore. Thank me later, because I am about to share it to you.

***If I'd ask you, what occupies your mind these days, what would you answer?*** Probably, as simple as *"What should we have for breakfast tomorrow?"* or *"Why didn't my boyfriend text me today?".* Or as deeper as *"When will this pandemic end?"*. It maybe random things such as your shopping list, or the street lights you saw earlier. Who knows? Someone out there might even be thinking about his/her love life in the past. *(laughs)* *However, for twenty four hours in a day, have these things crossed your mind? Things you are grateful for, the little details that surrounds you to make this world beautiful? Or those blessings you received even you did not ask for it?* Even just the chance to still wake up every morning is something that certain people don't experience anymore. But here we are, still enjoying the benefits of being able to breathe free oxygen, despite our wrong doings. It's like we are given a chance everyday, to straighten our paths. Today is the third day of me seeing the remarkable change after I fixed my sleeping habits. I did not feel sleepy at work anymore. It's because I decided to sleep two hours earlier than the usual time. This is something I did not expect to get a benefit that fast, but until now, I am still shocked it worked on me like this. I felt like my productivity increased a lot, I could even talk energetically and impressively in phone calls *(though I still don't like phone calls LOL).* Tell you what, just today, I could even sing and smile a lot while working. I don't know. It's the very first time after a long while that I enjoyed being in my workplace! I am thankful for that.

***What about you? What are you thankful for? Actually, it does not have to be grand or bountiful. As long as it made you happy, it's something you can be thankful of.*** I guess you are now getting the hang of this article. I am sharing today some of the things I am grateful of, with the hope that this one will make you smile, and hopefully, be reminded of those things we sometimes forget to appreciate. **My family are all healthy.** Despite the worries about pandemic, and other dangerous diseases, our family is still healthy. My sister and I can still work fine. Mom and dad, along with my younger bro can still manage the household when the working people are out. I thank God for always listening to our prayers to protect us from COVID and other diseases. One of my workmates has not been reporing for almost a week now, because he is sick. We are still waiting to see if he contracted the virus or not. Hopefully, not. **We are all safe and sound.** Just yesterday, there was an accident in a location near our workplace. The motorcycle driver died in an instant. It's a collision of the motorcycle and a white van. I am really scared of accident, even just seeing it from the CCTV footage. Right now, my older sister arrived safely from work. My mom is already at the neighbor's house, dad is watching TV, and my brother, probably sleeping or reading manga in his phone. Today we are all together again, safe and sound, after a long day. Thank you, Lord. **I got a new sponsor today!** Shout out to @Vibration101 ! Well, I am not sure though, if it was you as I did not hesitate to click that *"Accept"* button, hahaha! I hope I got it right. I am already road to eleven amazing sponsors, and talented fellow writers at that. I can't even believe these skilled authors chose to come by my profile, read my articles, and even trusting me through sposorships. I may not be able to mention all of them, but I know you are aware how thankful I am everyday. Thank you so much! Again, and again. **I reached 70 subscribers today.** Wow, can you believe that? I just reached 70% of my goal when it comes to subs! This is what I mean about slowly but surely. I may grow followers a bit slow, but I know these people will stay. *Of course, you will! Right? Haha. Keep the numbers rising! It inspires and excites me more. Thanks a lot*. **Road to 0.5 BCH**. Wow, I am almost halfway through my 1 BCH goal! Just a few days ago, it was approximately 0.389 BCH, and now it grew more! Thank you Lord, for these blessing! I just started to hodl BCH this June, and I know I will reach 1 BCH soon!

This is all thanks to Rusty, to my sponsors, and to all of my fellow writers who helped me through upvotes and friendly interactions! You are part of this humble success of mine. **Another remarkable achievement too, is me joining the** ****#Club1BCH**** . Ate @Jane confirmed it, as long as I hodl BCH , I am a part of this club. One goal unlocked! Thank you so much! ***Wait, I know I won't finish if I list them all. I just said "Some", not all! Hahaha! So, let me cut this here.*** **Now, what are you thankful about?** I want to know them, too! Keep those grateful comments coming and let's make this article really a more ***"Grateful"*** one! Don't be shy, comment them now! Sending hugs and encouragement just in case you feel shy.. And.. wait!! **Today is July 8, 2021!**

Whoa! Should I not have looked at the time, I won't see the date today, and realize, this is exactly my third month here! **Happy third monthsary to me..** Wow.. I am out of words.. I just wrote this article with an innocent goal of thinking and sharing the things I am grateful of, and here.. another new blessing worth being grateful for. I feel so incredible happy. *Hashtag blessed beyond words.* It is real, the secret to joy is appreciating the little things. Enjoying the good things we experience. Most of them can never be brought with money. Be it the comfort of a friend, a good night sleep, or even a happy conversation with the cab driver. These things, even simple, are priceless and worth our gratitude. ***Thank you Lord!***

**A blessed evening/morning/afternoon!** How are you today? Well, I am, obviously.. you could feel it through my article, right? Haha! I hope I made you smile through this one.. I want to express my warmest gratitude to you who read this, and especially to *"you"* who have stayed with me since day one. I hope I could send my appreciation virtually, though. You are loved, you all are amazing! ***I still can't believe this article coincides with my 3rd month celebration, with my 70 subs milestones, and a new sponsor. This is really planned for me. Thanks a lot, Father God.*** Until Next Time!
