Gratitude Challenge :
Write a Gratitude Note to Someone








Dear Mom,

I would like to thank you for being there for me always.  Although we sometimes do not agree on certain things like when you get anxious whenever I came home late, I know that I am always your little girl and you get worried that something might have happened to me.    I will try my best to call home whenever I am late to reassure you of my safety.

I am grateful to have you around to take care of me.  There is always a home-cooked meal waiting for me and you are the best cook!

Although mom would not be able to read this post as she does not understand English, I will try my best to show her my gratitude and love for her by taking care of her. Mom has been having back pain these few days, tonight I am going to give her a back massage before she goes to sleep to ease the pain.

3 Things I am Grateful for today..

(i)  spending time with my family at my sister's house and having dinner together. 

(ii) my masseur for letting me sleep for a while after my treatment as she saw that I was feeling a bit tired.

(iii) having my favourite drink, Chai Latte and a blueberry muffin after my yoga practice in the morning.

Gratitude Challenge:  Give Thanks to Your Food








Today, I had dinner together with mom as I was able to reach home early due to the smooth traffic.  Mom made Chicken Wine Soup which she added in a bottle of Essence Chicken.   She also made a dish of Stir-fried French Beans with Vegetable Fish Balls.  I am not able to post a picture of the food as the challenge was only posted in the Personal Excellence website after I had my dinner  (due to the time difference).

Anyway, I would like to give thanks to the delicious food prepared by my mom which I enjoyed very much.

3 Things I am Grateful for today...

(i) for my colleague who shared the cost of the Marshmallow Crispy Squares which was on offer - buy one free one, by taking one box while I took the other.   

(ii) for the friendly lady from UNITEN who took my call and gave me the information I requested for my work without any hesitation. 

(iii) for the refreshing shower due to the hot day.

Do Good and Be Good

Today started with a big scare when I lost my handbag which has my wallet containing my identity card, driving license, ATM and credit cards in it and my mobile phone as well as my house keys.  I did not realized that I had left my handbag hanging in the shopping trolley when I drove off from the car park after putting the groceries in the car. 

I only realized that my handbag was missing when I was half way home and I immediately went back to the mall.  The trolley was gone and when I went to the customer service centre to report my loss, I knew that there was only a very slim chance that someone had found and handed in my handbag.   The people at the customer service centre were very nice but no one had handed in my bag and I was told to write a report so that the security people can help to check and see if they can find my bag and they would contact me. 

I left the mall with my mom and was already thinking of calling the banks to cancel my credit cards when I reached home and having to go to the police station to report the loss of my identity card and driving license. 

I was looking for the account numbers of my credit cards when the phone rang and to my surprise, it was my elder brother calling from the mall.  Someone had called him after getting his number from my mobile phone (it was a blessing that I did not lock my phone with a password) and told him  that he had found my mobile phone and had asked him to contact me and go to the mall to collect it.  

I quickly drove to the mall and upon arrival, I saw my brother with a man carrying my handbag.  My brother introduced us and the man handed my handbag back to me.  He told me that his wife had found the bag and had called him.  I was so relieved to see him and I know that all the things in my handbag would be there without checking inside. All I could say was thank you.

I am so grateful to him and his wife for finding and returning my handbag.  This good samaritan really made my day and I count my blessings.  I believe in karma and my mantra of “Do Good and Be Good” has been reinforced as the Universe will blessed you with people who will help you when you need them.
