I’ve recently started writing in a gratitude book all the things and people I’m great full for. Why is it that we only tend to value something the moment it is taken away ? I recently read a quote “People say you don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone. Truth is, you knew what you had, you just never thought you’d lose it.” It is like with the water shortage, my relationship with water has changed ever since. I believe these sort of thing happen more likely when we have taken something for granted. Forcing to humble ourselves to appreciate what we have. Especially the very things and people who are hard to live without.

In my gratitude book I’ve also jotted down my goals and aspirations. When I look back and received what I asked for, the appreciation starts all over again. I’ve made a conscious choice to count my blessings. The more I do so the less space is left to focus on what I don’t have, and trust that everything happens for a good reason…My appreciation for people are first backed up with my actions and not words. Yes, it’s nice to hear the words, but it looses its meaning when all you hear are words. Less words more actions!
