Count your blessings..

So it was my first weekend home alone.
No kids & husband.. husband is on day shift n kids decided to bunk in at their grandmother's place together with my nephew.

So after i was done with the chores etc, i was facebooking n saw that some of my uni friends had settled down overseas. Was in awe of their lives now. To be honest.. kids free, looks like credit free (though i'll never know for sure), and all that i thought about was all the good things in their life.

I paused for a while after the green monster start to get over me..

And i thought,  what the heck.

Allah created the best for its people. And maybe this is the best for me. Although my journey has not ended and that i never fail to hope that things will still get better for us, i decided to list down all the good things that i have.

A loving husband.
Although not rich, always understands me.
My bff. My confidante. Always there for me when i need him.
Healthy, beautiful, smart, mixed-blooded kids.
Know how to praise me, always full of antics and never had an outburst of tantrum  in public places. Settled well even in their new school. A pair - a boy and a girl.
A 3-bedded fully furnished home.
Got everything here that i need.
A 8.5 year old car.
A car that brings my family to places everyday. A car that brought us to adventure malaysia. A car that helps us get whatever we need from wherever.
A loving parents.
Though not rich, they are always there for me when i need them.
A job.
Both my husband and i holds good jobs. I think we would be considered mid-high level income if not for our current liabilities now.
Cats.
My cats that i have cared for since i was 14 years old are still there and alive and doing well.
Food on the table.
Yes, i cant have lavish food on the table everyday but at least we are not starving.
A healthy body and mind.
Yes cold n cough n fever are common but thats it so far. Alhamdullilah.
Had the chance to travel before by air plane, boat, trains etc.
A degree holder from a local university. Only 3 out of 100 malays made it.
An extensive co-curricular experience.
A flexible 5 year sales job that drives and mould my resistance character.
Faith in allah. That all that happened is part of his plans in making someone better.

What more could i have asked for?
Yes, i would ask for more money, better future security, lesser laibilities, pious and  good children, faithful husband.
All these needs effort n faith.

May things would be better for us in sya allah. And alhamdullilah for all the things that i have in life now.

If you think you are at the lowest level of your life, remember that there others who are facing far worse than you. And if you think you are up in the wheel, there are others who are doing way better than you. So, stop for a while and count your blessings.
