What are the things you are grateful for? In what ways you show your gratitude? How does it feel to be blessed with such things? Are you satisfied enough, either small or big?

Good day my read.cash family. Happy last Tuesday of the month. Woah! Its four days more to go, we will welcome new a month again. Before this month ends, let's try to be more focus only on the positive side of life. Let's try to make this last week of the month a memorable one. I felt like I am reborn now, the old me is coming back. (Happy mood)

This so called, "Bingo Card Prompt/Challenge" really got interest since the first time I read an entry from a friend of mine. I think my dear friend, @Usagi initiated this one. Correct me if I'm wrong though. Days had past, and I came across another blog again regarding this challenge. Then I have got to read that they get the templates from Canva App, so after reading, I immediately opened Canva and looked for other templates. As I keep scrolling, I came across a template which about starting an attitude with gratitude.

from Canva

Actually, it was a new year's bingo card. I edited it and replaced the year written on it because it was originally year 2021. I put an in love emoji in every thing that I am grateful for, "So far."

As you can see, there are only four spots that I didn't putted an emoji. So let me tackle it briefly;

My siblings. I don't have one because I am an only child.

My cat. I don't raise cat but there cats that in our house, but actually owned by our neighbor.

My best friends. Sad to say, but I don't have one. I mean, I don't consider someone or anyone as my "best" friend. After my betrayal experience, I never tried to consider a friend as my best friend. I think that is a so called, trauma.

FREE. I still want to leave it like that, for now.

________________________

And now, here are the things written on this template that I am grateful for;

The gift of Family.

- Of course, who doesn't? My family is the reason why I am still fighting. I can say that it isn't a perfect family but I am very much happy to have them in my life right now.

Simple joys that lift me up.

- Yes, I am grateful for this because it is the reason why I am here. I mean, the reason that I am working still, fighting still, standing still, and lifting myself to go on. Simple joys, I considered them as my energy booster.

My grandparents.

- I lost my grandmother both sides of my parents. But the memories they left on us, I still treasured it. As for my grandfathers, I am thankful that even in their age, they still fighting for life, especially my "Tatay" (grandfather on my mother side. He still work on his farm. He even have a ginger plantation. I am proud to be his granddaughter.

A chance to begin again.

- Everyday is a battle. But knowing that I am still able to wake up the next day, this shows that I am still given the chance to begin again.

Encouraging words from my support system.

- I rarely hear encouraging words from them but I am grateful enough because everytime they give me such kind of words, it really motivates and uplifts my spirit to keep holding on.

My dog.

- My pet dog, "Iking" is staying with us for 9 months already. I am grateful to have him because he is the reason why I had overcome my fear with dogs. He comforts me and he is so adorable.

People who remain in my life.

- "People come and go." That I think is the reason why I am grateful for the people who remain in my life. We should to understand that everything here on earth is just temporary, that is why we should be humble enough to appreciate those people that despite our weaknesses and failures in life, they are still with us. And that's what I am doing right now.

The opportunity to learn from mistakes.

- "If you fail, never give up because FAIL means, "First Attempt In Learning." I failed a lot of times, I made a lot of mistakes. The opportunity to learn from mistakes is something really should be grateful of. You know, chances are not constant. Given this kind of opportunity, I will try my best to not waste it because it rarely happens to me. And I realized that those mistakes, they should be my reason to think other ways to ace what heart desires.

The roof over my head.

- Everyone needs a shelter. And I am very blessed to have mine. I am blessed that I am one of the lucky human being that stays under a durable roof. I am grateful for it. Very!

The kindness from strangers.

- Like what they say, "Kindness is free." I think is it a nature for each one of us to have kindness in our hearts which we can show to anybody else. As being part of this community, I am grateful that I've met a lot of people in here may it a Filipino writers like me or the foreign ones. I don't personally know all of you in here, but I am grateful for the kindness you have shown to me all this time. And with that, I don't consider you as strangers anymore because you are already my friends in this virtual community.

My health and well-being.

- I can't say that I am totally healthy, physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. But, I am grateful that despite having some health and well-being issues, I still have the guts to keep moving.

Food on the table.

- Of course, I am very grateful for this. I know there are someone out there that don't have one. So, either big portions or not, having some food on the table should really be something to be grateful of. It is a blessing!

Internet Connection.

- Now a days, Internet connection is an important thing. It allows us to know a lot things through surfing. That is why, I am indeed grateful because it is very useful for me in some aspects of my life.

Freedom of Speech.

- "Opinions don't define your reality." Its a well said quote that I have read from a facebook posts. We should use our freedom of speech not to criticize but to inspired, motivates, and inculcate knowledge to people. I am grateful to have this kind of freedom, for I can express my deep thoughts about a certain issues, and I can also express myself.

Blessings to share with others.

- "Sharing is caring." That is why, I don't want to waste a chance to share even just a portion of my blessings. I know, it may be small but it can change other people's life.

Peace of mind.

- Everyone's desired thing. Having a peace of mind is always my prayer. Like, you know, I am struggling to find my old self and having this things, is of much importance.

The stars in the sky.

- I rarely go out and look at the stars at night, especially when its cloudy or a rainy night. But when it happens, I find it really amazing, especially those kinds of constellations though I can't really identify it. They are beautiful.

Receiving forgiveness.

- Honestly speaking, I can't forgive someone right away. But when it comes to receiving forgiveness, I am greedy for it. I know, its not fair and its an act of selfishness. And I think, I should really apologize for that. And yes! To be forgiven is a blessing. And I should always be grateful.

Rainbows after the storm.

- Its a very rare thing to happen. But there are times that I can see rainbows even without a storm or a rain before it appears. What I am grateful for that is, seeing its beauty and the sign that its another chance to stand up and fight back. A sign that there is still hope!

The freedom to be my true self.

- Being true to ourselves is sometimes difficult to do, especially when we are haunted by our past experiences. But given this kind of freedom, who else will not be grateful for that?

Wisdom to know what's right from what's wrong.

- We all have it. The problem is that we sometimes messed up. Yet having wisdom to know what's right from what's wrong is something that can be proud of. I am proud though, I mistakenly identify what is right and what is wrong.

________________________

Either small or big, we should learn to be thankful for every thing we have or received because it is a blessing. There are lot of ways to show how grateful we are, and its in us on how are we going to show it. We should not take it for granted, because some of it, happens once in a lifetime.

Finally! After long hours of writing, I finished this blog. "Ang haba pala." Haha. But I don't regret choosing this template because I had a lot of fun while at it. And this ends my blogs my dear ladies and gents. Thank you for spending your time my read.cash family. Take good care of yourselves!❣️

MAY THE GRACE OF THE LORD BE WITH ALL GOD'S PEOPLE!😇
