I therefore feel that it is necessary to take a stock of my life and start another intensive gratitude journey. I have also decided to express my thoughts and feelings more through writing.
I therefore started again writing in my personal blog www.kejanny.com and will also update this gratitude blog. I told my daughter that the reason why I want this to be online is that it is a gift I'm leaving behind for her and her children to read about the life of their mother and grandmother.
In today's gratitude practice, I count 10 of my blessings. Today's I list 10 things I am grateful for and the reasons why I am grateful for them.
1. Health and body
I am truly blessed to have a beautiful healthy body without disabilities and sicknesses because it allows me to live life, move around and do what I do in life without being restricted, unhealthy and sick. *thank you* *thank you* *thank you*
2. Work and Success
I am truly grateful and appreciate my job with the Government of Papua New Guinea, where I am successful in my career at PNG Customs and now working with the Taxation Review because it gives me the opportunity to contribute my gifts and talents in serving this nation. It also pays me well, gives me a house to live in, a car to drive, fuel and running costs paid for and it gives me that influence. For my job and success, I am truly grateful. *thank you* *thank you* *thank you*.
3. Money
I am so happy and grateful for all the money I've been given throughout my life that pay for my food, clothes, education, travels, help another person in need and raise my family. *thank you* *thank you* *thank you*.
4. Relationships
I am truly blessed to have caring and loving family who are there for me, care about me and respect me. I'm forever grateful to God for blessing me with a lovely daughter Lydia Phoebe, who loves me and cares for me. I am truly grateful for #MyLove who also loves and cares for me. I am grateful for Cecelia, Nawon, Udama, Yageo, Keitango and all my family members for respecting me. *thank you* *thank you* *thank you*
5. Passions
I am deeply grateful for the passions I have for serving others and the business venture I have in the drawing board of my mind as it makes life very interesting and I am looking forward to implementing it. *thank you* *thank you* *thank you*
6. Happiness
I am truly grateful for the sunshine that gives me Vitamin D, gives me warmth, healing and makes my plants grow healthy. *thank you* *thank you* *thank you*
7. Love
I am eternally grateful to YHVH because He loves me so much that He gave His only begotten Son to save me from sin, satan and death, give me the gift of the Holy Spirit and eternal life. *thank you* *thank you* *thank you*
8. Life
I am eternally grateful to YHVH for blessing me with the gift of life. I am alive today, health and happy. *thank you* *thank you* *thank you*
9. Nature
I am truly grateful for the beautiful rivers and the seas that are in abundance in this country and especially back home. They provide water, food, and many benefits for us. *thank you* *thank you* *thank you*
10. Material Goods
I am truly grateful for the car that I drive. It provides me transport from home to work and wherever I want to go. Without which, I would be paying for a cab or wait among crowds at the PMV bus stops. *thank you* *thank you* *thank you*
I will print out the above list and during the day, I will read my list either in my mind or out loud. I will say the magic words "thank you" feel the gratitude for that blessing as much as possible.
