Day 9 of 10 of my #ThankYouNotes Challenge

10-Day #ThankYouNotes Challenge to Kill Writer's Block

Today, I’m thankful for a brand new day. I’m thankful for being able to work from the comforts of my home, in my PJs. lol. I can sit crosslegged at my chair, eat anytime I wish, work in front of the TV if I wish, take a moment to chill on the couch … or slog it out in front of my computer where the hours just disappear into thin air.

I’m thankful for our time of devotion last night and our extremely long prayer for almost everyone in our lives. For those who are sick, recovering or troubled. For the caregivers. For the healthy and living.

I’m also thankful for wonderful friends I have found in my yoga class. Friends who are yoga newbies, yoga enthusiasts, and are my neighbours too! I’m thankful for their notes of positivity and encouragement every single morning in our whatsapp group chat. I cannot imagine a morning without it anymore. lol.

I’m so thankful I got to take away 3 packs of chicken rice from my favorite chicken rice shop in Singapore, just before we came back to KL. Because I did this, I am able to enjoy chicken rice today for my lunch. It’s in the rice cooker now, heating up.

I’m thankful for the aircon. lol. Seriously. For without it, I’d be sweating it out in this humid heat and haze.

Thank you Lord for all your blessings.

Day 8 of 10 of my #ThankYouNotes Challenge

10-Day #ThankYouNotes Challenge to Kill Writer's Block

Ok, I know it’s no excuse but I’ve been so busy travelling. And I forget all about writing when I’m travelling. Oops.

So here goes the 8th entry of my #ThankYouNotes challenge:

First of all, I’m so thankful that my husband has gotten his PR approved, without the help of my parents. I cannot imagine how we had gotten this with minimal hassle, other than that our Father Lord has been watching over us. Thank you Father.

I’m thankful my 90-year-old grandma is as fit as a fiddle and had successful hip surgery. When I visited her at the hospital the other day, just hours before her surgery (she had no idea she was going to have surgery), she kept telling me to pray for her. My devout grandma =) Just thinking of her makes me smile. I’m thankful for how amazingly strong she is. She’s started walking with the help of a walker, just 2 days after her surgery. Mind you, she’s 90 years old. No complains about pain or hard to walk. In fact, she asked the nurse if she could dump the walker and walk on her own. *chuckle* Trust my grandma to do that. I’m so thankful for how the Lord works and blesses my loved ones. I couldn’t ask for more.

I’m so thankful for the great living example of faith and strength in the Lord I have in my grandma. She puts many of us to shame. No kidding. I pray that I would be able to follow in her footsteps, come my time.

I’m thankful for my very supportive and loving pillar – my husband. Thank you for all your valuable input and for just being there. I don’t think I’m easy to live with. Thank you for always wanting to spoil me.

I’m also thankful I have gotten that one proposal off my head and off my hands! It’s been quite the heavy burden – right on top of my head. It’s heavy, trust me.

I’m thankful for a great week that has just passed and a greater one beginning today.

10-Day #ThankYouNotes Challenge to Kill Writer's Block

Oops, I missed a day, thanks to an abrupt change in my schedule! But no, it ain’t the change. It’s me. My bad.
But I’m gonna trudge through this and make it to Day 10! So here goes:

I’m thankful for friends and family and the people I meet. I’m thankful that I always meet people who see the potential in me and they always trump my father’s voice in my head (read: the naysayer), well, at least until he decides to pop by for a “visit” again.

I’m thankful for my husband who does not feel threatened by me, for we live in a society with a culture that is as such. I’m thankful he gives me the space and room to grow as I wish. I’m thankful he even encourages me all the way and is with me every step of the way. I’m thankful for him for the shelter and ‘safety’ he provides me. I’m also thankful for him always wanting and trying to give me everything I wish to have. And for always allowing me to breathe easily when I “declare” the amount of shopping I’ve done for the day. I’m thankful I don’t have to suffer the typical “hide stuff you buy from your husband lest you get a earful…”

I’m thankful for our little one who lives a healthy and active life. She’s already 12 and for a small dog, that’s a mighty long life. I pray she continues to live for many more years, healthily, happily and actively.

I’m thankful for all the wonderful friends I have around. To me, they are family, more family than I can ask for. Makes me think about when I was told that I would never be able to find “family” outside of my own. Well, whoever said that is wrong. Over the years, I have found that there are numerous friends I can count on in times of need. These people, I can count on more than my own family. Thank you peeps.
I’m thankful for the people who see so much potential in me, who believe in me more than my own family does. I’m thankful for those who saw me, saw my yearning for learning and “invested” in me and taught me everything I know. I’m thankful for all the opportunities I have been given by these very people. I am indeed thankful. 

Finally, I am thankful that my Father in Heaven blessed me with all the above. For whatever He took away, He gave me so much more. Things aren’t always smooth-going but I’m thankful for I leave me in His hands and trust that He knows and does what is best for me. He has the best laid plans.

Day 5 of 10 of my #ThankYouNotes Challenge

10-Day #ThankYouNotes Challenge to Kill Writer's Block

10-Day #ThankYouNotes Challenge to Kill Writer's Block

It’s Day 5 of my 10-Day #ThankYouNotes Challenge. I’m actually halfway through! I’m thankful I came across Emily Gould’s Skillshare class, which prompted and inspired me to do this 10-Day challenge. It’s Day 5 and it’s the 1st thing that comes to mind in my mental To-Do List. If it’s truly become a daily habit, I couldn’t be happier. This #ThankYouNotes challenge has ‘shifted’ my brain to focus on the positive things. Even when I feel the emo monsters seeking their fun in my brain, I have to shove them all away to focus on my thank-you’s. I like that.

I’m thankful yet again for my yoga class and classmates. I’ve found that I gush about my classmates and yoga instructor after every lesson, to my hubby. And he always responds with a big smile, watching me gush. And in those moments, I’m thankful he can still smile and watch me in that loving way. I pray we’ll grow old this way.

I’m thankful for the peace I enjoy in the house every single day. This peace and quiet allows me to think clearly and sort out my thoughts that my ever-active brain churns out. This, I have my hubby to thank for. Thank you for this super conducive home/work environment where I can be me, where I can feel safe, loved and be peaceful.
