Me and My… Promise of being Grateful

I just wanna be the best of me

Even though sometimes, we might disagree

So that I can be the best for you

That’s all I wanna do

Today is my close friend’s birthday. So last night I was up till 12 AM to wish him. Exactly at 12, I sent him a long paragraph wishing him and telling him how grateful I am to have him (You can also wish him in the comments , I’ll let him know (winky face)). I also sent him an audio of me singing the birthday song (laughing emojis). Yup! I am that friend who bugs you the entire day if it’s you birthday. Then I asked him how many people wished him and what did his friends do for him. And surprisingly, he said nobody had wished him, not his friends, not even his mom.

{That’s it. That was the story. I wasn’t planning to bore you!

Hahahah. Just kidding. You have been pranked m*therf*cker. Now that you have decided to continue reading, I’ll make sure it’s worth it.}

I genuinely frowned, when I heard this. I told him,” Dude don’t worry, here is a message saying happy birthday a hundred times. And you thought I would let you feel lonely. Hell nooo.” (Same for you my blog friend)

I felt so relieved that I made a person smile. A flashback of all the times, my friends and family made my birthday special, ran through my mind. I have had amazing birthday surprises (a story for another blog and I promise I will make you jealous (winky face)). I made it a point to make his birthday memorable today. Me being me, I made 5 birthday cards , sent him a gift and loads of weird and stupid selfies, that I knew would make him laugh.
I wanted him to feel loved, the way I felt love from my people. I’m telling you all this because I’m grateful for every person I have ever interacted with, even if it was a small conversation.

 

Not related to anything. I just wanted to make you smile and I know I did *smirks*

Let me tell you a little about gratitude. You all are my fellow readers and writers, so I expect (actually I know) all of you to be familiar with this term.

Storytime (smiling emojis)

My mom is a teacher. She got a holidays homework this summer just like every time. (yes, teachers work hard man. Appreciate them always). One task in that homework was to write the summary of the book “The Magic by Rhonda Bryne”. As a classic mom she gave that book to me. You got it.. I had to do the work.

I didn’t complete that book but I did get some good lessons that I will cherish all my life. I’mma give you guys a gist: ★It is better to count your blessings than your troubles. (Yup I too began singing .. ‘Count your blessings name them one by one, count your blessings see what God hath done.. ‘ sry can’t help I’m a Convent student) ★Every day, recite the best thing that happened to you. ★Before criticising any person think about why and how you can be grateful for them. ★Be grateful for your good health every day. Even on the days when you are sick, pay gratitude for being alive. ★Be thankful for the money you already have (even if it’s a penny) to have an abundance.

 

Repeat after me

And so on. (I would suggest to go through a summary, coz this book gets kinda boring… (Sorry Rhonda I tried my level best))

I read a quote a while ago, it said ” If you are not grateful for the things you have right now, how do you know you would be happy for the things you will get.” This spoke volumes.

Since then I have been regular in thanking the Almighty (or any other universal power you believe in- incase you are an atheist). I thank God for everything that he has given me, for every person who came into my life and made me the person I am today. Also since I’m a new blogger in the house (pat on the back) I thank you all who generously read my blog. Really it means a lot. *starts sobbing*

Also I finished “How to be a bawse by Lilly Singh” second time. Let me tell you , that Canadian girl is making the brown culture proud. High five to all the people who know who Lilly is… Uhm and for those who don’t know, she is a YouTuber. I don’t want you guys to feel left out (winky face and fist bump), so I would love to share my thoughts on that too (story for another blog. Yay!)

I watch a lot of motivational videos. A lot trust me (you would call me crazy). So if you want any suggestions lemme know I’m just a comment away!!

(And just to let you know, my friend got loads of texts and wishes later today, I guess his friends were just a little lazy! And guess what his mom still hasn’t wished him)

Until next time, Adiós amigos.
