1. I'm grateful for a hand to hold and a heart to understand, which all comes in a package as my gf - the source of my many troubles and many many more joys.
2. I'm grateful for the sisterhood and brotherhood formed in my blog. Hey, never in my wildest dream did I think that setting up a blog can have so many fringe benefits. They had spent their time with me generously, where instead they could have spent it on their own pursuits and for that I'm doubly grateful.
3. I'm grateful for a healthy body and an inquisitive mind. Without each, I would not be able to do what I can do with the energy and drive that I had.
4. I'm grateful for the bountiful food and drinks that I can eat and taste, made all the more sweeter and delicious by the wonderful company that I had.
5. I'm grateful for healthy and living parents. Despite all the misunderstandings, I know they still love me as a child and I to them as a parent.
6. I'm grateful for the cool quiet nights as I walked home from work. It feel very serene and I almost feel ashamed as my footsteps broke the silence of the night.
7. I'm grateful for the cats in the world. Without them, the world would not know the softest spot to sleep. None can rival the cat in the way they can provide a quiet companionship, sitting just beside you, contented to be just near your presence and asking for nothing more.
Upon reaching no.7, I feel much much better already, so there isn't a point to move on. What a wonderful exercise! I would do more next time when I'm feeling, to lack a better word, ungrateful.

Never ever see your other half who is going spent your life with as a source of many problems. There is still a very long way to go and it can only be more difficult than easy, bro.
Hi bro8888,
You misunderstood me. I mean that she brings both sorrow and joy to me, with the latter being many many more times than the former. If I had gone back in time to choose again, I'll make the same choice too.
No regrets.
Hi LP,
Nice heartwarming post. It is good to think of the many things that we can be grateful for in life.
Too often, we only look at the things we don't have but fail to see the many things that we actually have.
