#87 - Gratitude
By, Bokjae
This tag from Rainbows is past overdue! My apologies but glad that I can do this today! I guess people generally fall into these two categories and i.e. "Grateful Type" or "Complaining Type". Read a book sometime back called the "Power of Gratitude" and Wow! really eye-opening! Personally I was not the grateful type but through the years and thank God, He slowly changed me into one! As Steve Jobs said, one can only connect the dots in life through hindsight; I can say that we have much to be thankful and grateful for! Yeah occasionally we slipped back into Mr. Complain but we have to check ourselves each and every time this happens. So feel free to join this train and share gratitude around! It makes the World a better place for sure!
#86 - EVERY MOMENT IS WORTHY OF ITSELF~~~
By, Lynda
Every single moment of time is worthy of itself. What a broad and open statement, eh? But, it is the truth. If you live life in the present, which is the healthiest way to live, you will find that each moment has something imperative to offer to your life and time, and in discovering this, you will find gratitude an ongoing and easy part of each day...
I am grateful for the moments of my life, they are each embraced, each become a part of the whole of my existence, and each brings forth something, even if that something is not noticed until later, or does not seem to be important at the time, each moment is another weave in the tapestry of my life...
I try to live in gratitude always. Very rarely do I not. There is just too much to be grateful for, even when things are bad, and this is when being grateful serves a purpose with abundant measure. When things are bad, or seem less than gratifying, if we can sit and reflect on the wonderful parts of our lives, if we can list 5 things for which to be grateful for, the bad more or less dissolves, right before our eyes. It is like the mentality is only there as long as you allow it to be; negative elements disappear when we do not feed into them, for the positive is the element in which we are most comfortable. We use the negative as a crutch, as an excuse, and sometimes, we use it to hold ourselves back from lack of belief in ourselves or abilities. The negative is useless without us feeding it, and when we choose to be grateful over the negative, it is gone, even if something else less than perfect should suddenly appear...
Gratitude is an attribute which all people should learn and implement, each and every moment of their lives. Look around you, you will see, you have so very much to be grateful for, plus, the more grateful you are, the more wonders become obvious to you, which means even more positive in your life! Yes, every single moment of life is worthy of itself, it is all conceptual, therefore, the moments which you deem unworthy are self inclined...
Make this and every day a day of worth; find gratitude, embrace it, exalt it, and share it!!!

#75 - I am grateful for Blogging
By, Gurnygob
I blog all night,
I blog all day
I blog my bloody life away.
The thanks I get are few in deed,
I think ill take up smoking weed.
The nights are long and lonely,
for my key board, mouse and me.
Sometimes I feel like giving up
and heading of to sea. Then suddenly,
a box pops up, the excitement hard to bear,
as my mouse heads to the Corner to see what’s over there.
Its only windows live again; they call me all the time,
I wish they’d leave me well alone; I’m trying to make this rhyme.
It’s a lonely life, this blogging,
So little company, no one seem to understand,
the pressures there can be.
My wife thinks I’m a nuttier,
Sometimes I think she’s right, but blogging
quite addictive, in the middle of the night.
To all my fellow bloggers, I solute you,
one and all, you never shrink from blogging, arms
ready to the call.
And in the future, years from now,
when we’re all dead and gone,
I wonder if they’ll sing of us,
In some old blogger song.
It’s getting late, or is it early,
I’m not so sure these days,
This bloggings got me all mixed up,
in so many different ways.
Its time for me to say fair well
I’ll see you all again,
until the next time, God bless you all
and don’t give up the game.

#70 - Happy, Happy, Happy!!!
By, Amel
Why am I happy? Let me count the ways and be thankful for each and every one of them.
1. Today I received my passport back. I sent it last Monday to the Indonesian Embassy in Helsinki to report myself. Why do I need to report myself? Well, one other reason other than the obvious is that once I've reported myself, my new address is now written at the back of my passport, so when I fly back to Finland, I don't have to pay 1 million rupiah tax at the airport HUE HE HE HE HE HE HE...Plus I'm RELIEVED that the passport has arrived safely HE HE HE HE HE...
2. Because of reason number 1, I can use the money to go to a SPA in Bandung in October HUA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA...I'm gonna pamper myself in Bandung. *WIDE GRIN*
3. My new book's arrived (Jostein Gaarder's Maya). Hubby asked me if I wanted to buy a book since he wanted to order something online, so I picked one. I still have many other unread novels, but I just love stacking them up to read in the future ho ho ho ho ho ho...
4. My Brit friend and husband and teacher have told me that I may be able to teach Finnish to foreigners later in the future. It's something I'm considering seriously, since I think I'd love to do something like that. ;-D I know it'll take me years to be able to be as good in Finnish (compared to my English knowledge), but I'm in no hurry. ;-D
I'm THANKFUL for their encouragement and support.
5. Tonight we were supposed to go to the bars with hubby's brother and girlfriend, but they cancelled it. I don't mind that since it means I have plenty of spare time to relax (read comics or do whatever I want to do today) ho ho ho...
6. Seeing hubby's SATISFIED GRIN as I tucked him to sleep on the sofa just now.
7. Hubby bought pepper steak for us HO HO HO HO HO HO HO HO...I LOVE pepper steak! ;-D
8. A little while ago while hubby was doing something in front of his computer, I went over to smother him with kisses and I noticed that between the pages of his notebook, there was my Post-It Note from the day when he was sick and he had to stay home while I went to my Finnish course. I left him the note before I went to the course. I LOVE the fact that he keeps it safe, even though it's just a Post-It note. ;-D
9. Today's been wet again. It rained water for a while. I don't mind that since it means that the ice isn't slippery. That means that I'm SAFE from falling HO HO HO HO HO...
10. Cleaning up hubby's ears with a special tool from Indo. I LOVE cleaning up his ears ha ha ha ha ha...Sounds gross, eh? ;-D
11. My class is going to visit the Gold Mine next Friday. I've never been there before, even though I've lived in Finland for a little over a year. And it's FOR FREE since the company who organizes the course is paying for that. YIIIIPPIIIIIIEEEEEEEE!!!! I'm gonna bring my digicam to take pics. ;-D
12. The other day when I walked home, I noticed something very cute: as the snow was melting and water was running fast to the drain all over the village, three birds were cleaning themselves up in the running water nearby my apartment building. What a sight!!! I even stopped to watch them. Mmmm...
13. Spring is comiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnggggggggggg!!! And lately here in Sodankylä, the day is longer than the night (17 hours versus 7 hours). YEEEESSSSS!!!
14. This conversation:
Me: Am I demanding?
Hubby: Sometimes. (smile)
Me: What? When?
Hubby: No comment.
Me: Okaaayyyy...does it bother you, then?
Hubby: No.
Me: GOOD! (BIG grin)
Other than those, here are other things I'm thankful for:
1. My family, husband, husband's family, and friends. They're always so supportive, understanding, and kind to me.
2. My blogger friends. Without them, I wouldn't be the woman I am today. ;-D
3. Peace of mind.
4. Being able to sleep well at nights.
5. My health.
6. Enlightenment.
7. Wonderful food, tasty snack, and refreshing water.
8. People's thoughtfulness (strangers or non-strangers alike).
9. Open doors and closed doors.
10. Love, hope, and farts. *GRIN*

#66 - Tag - Life is Full of Gratitude............
By, Sweet Jasmine
My blogging buddy of Life is Mysterious........pass me this tag recently. Looking at the word "Gratitude" it gives me a feeling of love, warmeth, gratefulness, and thankfulness for someone or those people around me...like my friends and family who had done a great deal to bring happiness and joy into my life.
Looking back in life, I had received so much from so many people I knew and I am indeed very grateful for what they had done....and it is quite difficult to mention just a few names or people here.....it would not do justice to those whose names were not noted here. When I was suffering in pain during my RA days.....many people had come forward to help me.....making arrangements for me to see this doctor and that doctor......finding the right ways and methods to ease my miserable pain.....including arranging for me to go overseas for treatment.....accompanying me along the way and journey....to anywhere I wanted to go.......visiting me often with their prayers and comforting words.....giving me hope and light at the end of the tunnel with their care and love. What more can i say for such deeds shower on me ...which i can only repay with a word of gratitude. So to those family members and friends who had given me so much......i will always remember your wonderful deeds with a thankful heart and may God bless all of you in return.

#64 - Statement of Gratitude
By, Anne E.
There are so many things to be grateful for, to be happy about...despite of...
Trully grateful of the Creator, that I am still standing and here to face the next "challenge". Grateful of my husband, my true friend, my life partner for accepting my strengths as well as my weaknesses as a person. Grateful of my children, always reminding me to be like a kid, taking pleasure on simple things, they are trully our inspiration.
Thankful of my parents, when other relatives are putting us down, my parents are there, happy for our accomplishments. Thankful of my brother, he is a friend that you can count on. Thankful of friends, seldom can you encounter friends that are "happy" for your success & happiness.
Grateful of this tag and to those participating, for spreading the positive mental attitude.
Thankful that I have come to accept the trials, disappointments, failures and learned to complain less. Grateful of the "Obstacles" and struggles for it helped me be strong & creative in working things out. No regrets.

This tag is about things you are thankful about/for. And like everyone of us, I have lots of things to be thankful about/for.
I’m very thankful that God create me and let me saw all the wonderful things in this world. And for all the blessings I have receive from him, that makes me able to share to anybody else. And thankful for having my parents and my own family. And specially my very responsible hubby and for giving me a beautiful siblings and all of my friends who always guide me and take care of me even though sometimes. I am also thankful for all of the trials and circumstances that i’ve been pass through, because it makes me a better and stronger person and lightens me every now and then.

I find that when I am grateful my day goes perfectly but when I am not grateful my day is a mess. I know that being grateful is hard to do all the time so I try to stay as grateful as I can. I am grateful for my family, my friends and my home. I am grateful for my work that supplies me with the money to support myself. I am so blessed by all the love and support around me all the time.
Love and Blessings,
AngelBaby

#59 - I am grateful to the men and women who serve!
By, Mel
My son is a captain in the Army and he is going over to Iraq in 2 weeks for his third deployment. I am proud that he is my son and I am GRATEFUL for all of the men and women who are in our armed services to protect us.
Whether you believe in this war or not, I hope that we are all grateful to our sons & daughters, husbands & wives, mothers and fathers who put their lives on the line every day so that we may all be free. God Bless you all.
I tear up every time I see this commercial. I think that it is the best commercial ever made.

#58 - Life is full of Gratitude
By, As The World Turns
Life is Full of Gratitude.... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There's a lot that I am grateful for: my hubby, my parents and family, my wonderful husband's family, and good friends. I'm grateful for each and every waking moment that I'm alive, every sunrise and sunset I witnessed everyday, nature, music, the good things in life and the challenges and trials (without which life would not be the same). They are all God's gift as our life is...there's really so much to be grateful for, i can't name them all, i'm just happy to be alive and well.:)

By Dora,
My new buddy, Choc Mint Girl tagged me this. I love it as it needs me to think about what I’m appreciate for in my life so far…oh, this is great!
Alright, myself is living in a somehow a roller-coaster life for the whole last year. But I’m very grateful to have my hubby & all the important family members to back me up. I love them for what they have done with spontaneous, unconditional, true and LOVE. I want to walk with them and build this colourful puzzle of life together. It’s only deemed PERFECT if it’s united!

#55 - Being grateful to everything
By, Joy
Am I grateful? the answer is yes- I am grateful for my parents who gives me life, who support us, give us educations,the disciplines,shelters and food.With out them I won't be in this life time, I grow up in a very nice foundation of family a very hardworking parents who wanted best on the family. There's one thing that I wanted to say to my mom-if she is still alive now " I will tell her that her words of discipline and strictness has its worthiness-even though back then I won't listen". I was grateful that her teaching was meant for our future to have a better lives ahead of us. Right now- I am grateful for a wonderful son- and to my ever temperamental husband, for my job which was great and to the new friendship that I gain in here in California.
There are times in our life we forgot to say thanks to all the blessing we have recieved, it's time for us and stop, think and say Thanks.

Juliana tagged me with what she said "makes you take a pause and think and allows you to share things that are otherwise unwritten and unshared unless asked."
I feel the same thing. There are many things that I'm grateful for, but let me share the one that really matters to me right now, well, since there are no rules for this meme he he he...
"My life has changed tremendously when I met my hubby. He comes into my life when I was badly hurt from my past love affair. Even my family didn't quite know what really happened. Then, when hubby came, he brings the new light and excitement into my pathetic life at that time. :) He is such a caring and loving man, being so attentive to my needs. He loves to do wonderful things for me even for the little things. We always hold hands when we walk together and it feels awkward if we don't." :)
Actually, there are more, but enough la for this time. ;D

#52 - What are you grateful for?
By, Antuken
I am grateful for my health. Even if I get mouth sores (singaw) sometimes, and it makes it difficult to eat, at least I’m healthy (although a little underweight) enough to enjoy everything that life has to offer.
I am grateful for having inherited my dad’s genes of (I think) having a fast metabolism. Even if I eat a lot, I don’t get fat easily. 
(although my tummy is getting bigger lately — and not due to a baby!)
I am grateful for not having a sweet tooth. Otherwise, I might be prone to get diabetes. It sorta runs in the family (my lolo died from complications from this).
I am grateful for my parents. For guiding me into the person that I am now. For giving me freedom as I was growing up. I never experienced curfews or stuff like that. They always allowed me to go wherever and whenever I wanted to, as long as they know where it is, who I am with, how am I getting there, who will take me home, etc.
I am grateful for being blessed with a sweet, thoughtful, wonderful and wacky family and having close relations with my relatives. Weekends spent at home is really a lot of fun and full of hilarious moments.
I am grateful for our yaya — lolita, who takes care of everything at home, my dad, my blind brother and my mom. She really is a part of the family.
I am grateful for my very makulet and really smart pamangkins — they always make me smile.
I am grateful for having such wonderful friends. Even if we don’t get to see each other as often as I’d like, they’re always there for me.
I am grateful for my mr. antuken. For letting me be who and what I wanna be. For understanding my moods. For always being there. For always making me laugh. Starting a life with him will not be all rosy, I’m sure. But then again, I never expected it to be
I am grateful for my job. It makes me insane sometimes, but at least I have one. There are a lot of people out there who always have jobs that aren’t permanent (contractual).
I am grateful for having a choice. Others do not.
I still have a ton of things to be grateful for, but putting ‘em all here would make this post really, really long.
#51 - A Song of Gratitude
By, Sharon
I obtain so much happiness from just being able to see light in everyday,
I love to gaze at the dancing branches of the trees,
And realize how incredibly grateful I am for what I have been given,
And everything that YOU have unselfishly shared.
I just can’t stop smiling whenever I try to count all my blessings,
Knowing that I couldn’t count that much,
Even if I have forever with me.
I am eternally grateful on how you chased so many dark clouds away,
And given me days full of sunshine and tender warmth.
But until forever is here,
Until forever gives me another chance,
Till my whole life is lived,
I will eternally utter my praises to you, my God
I will constantly smile for every thought of you,
I will hold you in my heart as much as you hold mine,
I will feel blessed by your presence, in my mind, in my heart,
And it would be forever to give back all the happiness you’ve given me.
And it would take me forever to find the right words,
For all the thanks I would like to express
For all the profoundly comforts you have shared,
And for all the wonderful feelings of being loved and accepted.
Until forever is not enough, I will always love you.

#50 - Grateful Each Day
By, Lourdes
After being thankful (Pinay Mommy's Love Blog), life has gone so good for me lately. Many things were given that sometimes you could not imagine go your way. As I worked on my other blog's make-over, I never thought that one of the creators of the digital elements I used would proudly link back to my blog as an example of her work being used to action.
Of course, there are couple of things that made me felt a little bit bitter along the way but still it made me felt grateful in the end. As they say, there is always a rainbow after the rain! My husband and I, after being separated for 2 years but now together again for almost 2 years (and plans to have more years to come together), always have misunderstandings and sensational fights (hahaha....showbiz!). We are still in the process of regaining after everything that happened to us. But hey, we still do have fights but recently, I realized that our marriage is actually progressing. He still have immaturity in some aspects but he has shown me that he trying to make things right. Which for me, I am already grateful of. The will to change and the word "try" are enough for me to hope for a beautiful and blissful marriage with that of course is the help from the Almighty!! Our marriage might have not been patched-up if it weren't for God's Divine Intervention. That made me grateful enough!!
Everyday as I wake-up and see my family together, its a great reminder for me to be grateful to God who has brought every pieces of my shattered life together. Being united as a family is enough for me to be grateful each day.
I am also grateful for Monday Morning Power for initiating the new project on gratefulness. Cause you see, sometimes we need great people to help us remind of the things we need to be grateful of before its too late.
Come! Join us in our worldwide campaign of gratefulness. Everyday...there is always something to be grateful about...
#49 - A Tag From Ice
By, Charmaine
I got a tag from Ice. Thanks Ice!! It's been awhile that i haven't recieved any tags from you! lol..
This tag is to let everyone knows how important for us to be thankful To God whether small things about life, love, health and happiness in our everyday living. It doesn't have to be perfect everyday, cause there's no such thing is a perfect human being. All of us can make mistakes, but we can learn out of it. As for me, i've got a lot to be thankful for, my life - my health - my career/job - my happiness and my husband, my best friend and the love of my life. I'm also thankful to Him that i have the most wonderful and very supportive parents and a loving/caring brother. My second family here in the US, my mother in law, Sheila and my sister n law, Kim with her family whose been so nice and very caring/loving to me, for accepting me as part of their family. I thank God for having them in my heart. My relatives back in the Philippines, my friends... all the people around me and all the experiences in my life, i thank God for that... i owe Him my life.
#48 - Life is Full of Gratitude
By, The Posh Guru - Nelle
Indeed, I am grateful with my life and with this blog. Why?
I am grateful about life because I have learned and still learning so much from it. Every people I meet halfway in life including those from the blogosphere always make a difference in me.
Every failure counts also because as common as it sounds, I really learn a lot from those failures. I’m not saying that it’s that easy but all I’m saying is after each chaos there’s always hope and there’s something to look forward to about life.
I’m grateful about life and love, because if I don’t believe that those things exist, I might have lost my sanity over the years. But it does exist and so am I. and so are you who keep loving and living. That alone is a reason to be grateful and to extend it to others.
No matter what where going through right now, even if we laugh or we whine, at the end of the day, make sure to point out things to be grateful about your existence and thank the One Above.
I am grateful about this blog because I never thought I can have it this time of the year. But fortunately, I am able to get a domain for free. The .info domain is cheap I know but its way better when you get it for free so I’m really happy about that. It’s not everyday that you get a free domain.
