6:48 AM
a much loved friend gave me a book recently. not too many nights ago, i read,
"Those who are inherently grateful do better at lasting the distance."
Give thanks for something today, then make it a habit - you'll be amazed at the outcome
- The Power to go the Distance
it didn't take much to sincerely give thanks. early in the morning admist the snaking queues and sleepy eyes, a "this is for you" was enough to last through the tiring day and longer. and my absolute amusement at "i realised it didn't have a casing, so i bought you one." babe, this is your honourary mention. can't thank you enough. :)
smiles also to my other smallie who fed me happy during tutorial and lecture with yummy ginger snaps and addictive japanese sweets. and for the offer to accompany me during my lonely break by chatting to me on msn, whilst she was in lecture. :)
and to the auntie at mos burger who asked me whether i wanted another drink when she saw i was sitting alone for a long time with a finished one.
and val who apologised for not being able to accompany me during the break cos she was *ahem* comfortably sleeping in her hall. ;)
today i took an extra look at life, and realised that the many bright car lights zooming along at night actually makes quite a beautiful sight. (hey rong'er i rhymed 4 times in this sentence. HAHA.)
tonight before i sleep, i will pray to have a little more gratitude in me. tomorrow when i wake, i will reminded myself to be a little more grateful for the little things in life.
take a look at the ordinary
don't need to look for paradise
you could be next to an angel in disguise.
every day can be legendary
every minute a pleasant surprise
you could be next to an angel in disguise.
there's never too much lovin' to go around.
