This was my gratefulness moment of the day: Having taxi cab rides for
2,000 pounds a ride (1 euro)

I am doing a #365gratefulproject, where - for 365 days - I have to record something that made me grateful that day, for 365 days in a row. 366 days, a friend pointed out, as February has 29 days this year; it's a leap year. I am on day 59 now, and it goes pretty smooth so far. But then again, there are so many things I can be grateful for.
There's the weather, the country, the possibilities, the diversity, the choices and the fact that I have a steady income. There are the many things one can be grateful about with friends (having them) and family (their health and happiness), and then there are the 100 and 1 little things on a daily basis that one tends to overlook now and then. And when one think of grateful; isn't 'great full' a better spelling. Full of greatness?
I, for one, today, am grateful that there are actually people reading me, and that they leave me little notes now and then. I do not (actually almost never) reply, but it does not mean I am not grateful for their interest. I have met - virtually - quite a few interesting people through this blog. One of them just sent me a note about the fact that it was actually 11 years ago (how true), not ten. Thanks Fadi!!
Another reader started writing me now and then when his grand daughter did an internship here in Beirut, and he was sort of checking out what place this Beirut really was. Now she is a published writer, and suddenly her name pops up on the internet and I am thinking "I know her grandfather!!"
And so today is all about gratefulness.

ReplyDeleteMijn camera is stuk, en ik ben te lui om een nieuwe te kopen, doe nu alles met mijn telefoon. Dus daar gaat al de helft van de kwaliteit. Daarnaast vind ik dat plastic wel wat hebben, niet?
ReplyDeleteNee. Koop nou maar een camera, je ziet het verschil. Of koop een telefoon met een goede camera, maar dan ben je 600 euro verder.
ReplyDeleteSuch a wonderful surprise to receive a mention in a blogpost titled Gratefulness. Made my heart skip a beat. :)
ReplyDeleteI thoroughly enjoy reading your articles and your photos. all of them make me miss my homeland
ReplyDeleteSo glad you're writing, photographing and sharing your insights. You were missed last year. Greatly. And now I look forward to seeing your work, and delighting to find posts even during the week! Bonus. Please keep up the good work.

P.S. One of your stories keeps coming back to me: When the taxi van had your back, after your stuff, including valuables, fell out the back of your truck. A good story to remember during the shitty moments...
op Amazon koop je de Nokia Lumia 1020 voor 260 US$. Dat is voor niks, dat ding heeft een perfecte camera en je kunt er nog meer bellen ook. Kostte een jaar geleden nog 600 US$. Y.
ReplyDeleteoh, in Nederland is hij ook al afgeprijsd:

ReplyDeleteAfter being in relationship with Morgan for seven years,he broke up with me,I did everything possible to bring him back but all was in vain,I wanted him back so much because of the love I have for him,I begged him with everything,I made promises but he refused.I explained my problem to someone online and she suggested that I should rather contact a spell caster that could help me cast a spell to bring him back but I am the type that never believed in spell,I had no choice than to try it,I mailed the spell caster, and he told me there was no problem that everything will be okay before three days,that my ex will return to me before three days, he cast the spell and surprisingly in the second day,it was around 4pm.My ex called me,I was so surprised,I answered the call and all he said was that he was so sorry for everything that happened,that he wanted me to return to him,that he loves me so much.I was so happy and went to him,that was how we started living together happily again.Since then,I have made promise that anybody I know that have a relationship problem,I would be of help to such person by referring him or her to the only real and powerful spell caster who helped me with my own problem and who is different from all the fake ones out there.Anybody could need the help of the spell caster you can email him drakugbespellhome1@gmail.com if you need his assistance in your relationship or anything I CAN NEVER STOP TALKING ABOUT YOU SIR DR Patrick HIS EMAIL:he can also help to cure any kind of disease illness like. drakugbespellhome1@gmail.com

ReplyDeleteI am williams james from UK( northern ireland), i want to share a
ReplyDeletetestimony on how a powerful spell caster cured my HIV disease, i was
diagnosed of this disease, in the year 2009, last week i saw a testimony on
Dr. on how he cured an HIV patient, so i contacted him through phone
call and he asked me to email him, which idid, so he told me that all my
problems is over and then he decided to do an healing spell spell for me so
after he finished it, he told me to wait for just 24 hours and then i
should go for a test, so i really did as he had said, so my greatest
surprised when i went to the hospital to go for an HIV test, the Medical
doctor diagnosed that, i am now HIV negetative at first i was amazed and
now i have come to realise that this spell caster Dr. Akioya is a very
powerful one and a real spell caster. So viewers of this should please join
me in my celebration for i am the happiest man on earth today and if you
want to contact him, you can do this via his email
(drakioya17spellhome@gmail.com) or call him +2348105257464
I was the last person on earth to accept the fact that spells exist or work not until I was referred to Dr Ilekhojie. He promised to help me reconcile with my partner. I had no other option than to give it a try because 3 months after the divorce, I was demoted at my place of work due to depression and lack of concentration. My life was draining away each day and i was confused on what to do. I was happy and enjoying my work but all of a sudden, i became miserable after the divorce because it was quick and a short process. Only Dr Ilekhojie gave me a way and i am happy i believe him. Just last week here, I was promoted back to my position and I’m here to share my own experience with this man called Dr Ilekhojie. In all situation there’s always a way out. Contact Dr Ilekhojie via TEXT OR WHATSAPP MESSENGER with: +2348147400259 and Email on: gethelp05@gmail.com
