This week many people across the world are celebrating Thanksgiving. We on the other hand am treating it like any other normal day. It’s not a big event here in Asia. For this weeks writer’s workshop I’m attempting writing a poem about the things I am thankful for.
I am thankful
- that everyone is in relatively good health ( albeit the odd cough and cold now and then).
- that we have a roof over our head and food on the table and not worry about when we will be able to have the next meal.
- that I have three lovely kids who light up my day and a loving husband who takes care of the family.
- that I have enough energy to take care of the kids and household everyday without having to rely on hiring a maid.
- that I have good friends to share our joys and troubles with.
- that I am able to take time off work to stay home and watch the kids grow up.
- that I can spend time doing freelance writing, baking and cooking while being at home.
- that I am out of the acid system in the workplace where one is scrutinized from top to toe in everything you do and later deem you not proactive and productive enough.
- that I can now travel during the OFF PEAK season and do not need to pay extra for my air-tickets and accommodation.
- that I’m on my way to my ideal weight with another 15kg to lose.
What are you thankful for this Thanksgiving?

I am so thankful for my family. I know, it doesn’t sound special, but there it is. And my dog…I’m thankful for my dog; I love him to pieces.
Stopping by from Mama Kat’s….Happy Thanksgiving!
