When I woke up this morning...

I realised that I am laying in the middle of a Queen size bed leaving my sister with a small space to sleep on and as I moved, her hand came over slapping me on the head. Wow so much for being considerate! I guess she was doing karate in her sleep. I woke up and realised that I have so much to be grateful for and that life is not as hard as it seems, tech is just a chapter in life and would pass in good time when another chapter started. What was the point of stressing and yelling yesterday and bursting out in anger? when it could have been resolved in a normal conversation. We really do cause our own stiff necks and aching muscles.

I woke up and heard the birds singing and thought to myself that so many mornings we wake up sad or moody and do not realise the huge differnce between our lives and that of birds and yet they are so happy and joyful.

I woke up and told myself that from today I would change my attitude towards everything and become more positive and enthusiastic about life. We say life is for the living, but how many of us actually do this and enjoy it. Our lives are so busy and rushed, have you stopped lately and just looked around, thought about where your life is heading? Where you want to be in 3 years time and how this will be achieved?

Well I woke up inspired this morning and with a song in my heart, my eyes opened and the sun was shining, I have a family who loves me unconditionally,a faithful God, a roof over my head, wonderful friends, a lovable boyfriend and the ability to learn and keep on going in order to reach my goals.

Always appreciate everything in your life and most importantly be thankful that you were able to wake up this morning...

  1. I have taken time out to think about where I want to see myself in the next three years and made sure that my goals and aspirations are achievable. I totally agree that we take most things for granted and we tend to forget to take time out to appreciate the luxuires of life.

  2. Waking up to this feeling is what we all need. I often just lay in bed wishing I didn't have to get up. But it is true what you say, we do take things for granted and do not appreciate the little things in life, like waking up.
