What Am I Grateful For?

What I am grateful for today? First of all, the fact that I am still breathing in this world to feel the air, to hear the sound of the cars moving back and forth, I am still breathing to make another conversation with little Izz and the people around me. 

Okay now, There's nothing much I've done today. Same-O same-O stuff. Watching TV, web surfing, oh and yes, I manage to fast today. Alhamdulillah. 

 I watched Oprah today. It was the Farewell Season. Usually I don't watch Oprah, but somehow I watched it today, and I found that the episode was quite interesting. Today it was about animals. Special animals. 

What makes them special? There are just so many of them, I can't quite remember.

 There was a dolphin with no tail and they helped her; which eventually she became an inspiration to a little girl who wore hearing aid device. That little girl was ashamed with the device she wore but she saw the "tailless-dolphin" and she was inspired not to feel ashame of what she is. 

But what makes me feel very grateful today is a story of a two-legged dog-Faith, who was born handicapped. However, her owner, Jude Stringfellow, adopted Faith when the mother dog was found trying to smother the deformed puppy—her son rescued the puppy and brought her home. Many people, including veterinarians, advised that Faith be euthanized. Instead, using a spoon with peanut butter as an incentive, Jude taught Faith to hop but Faith decided on her own to walk; the family's corgi would bark at Faith from another room, or nip her heels to urge her to walk

Ok now, I know this is a very old story. What makes me write about Faith is because she made me realize how grateful I am to be born perfect with arms, senses and healthy mind. Alhamdulillah, I am very grateful for that. I am grateful that God had blessed me with great health. To those who were not as lucky as I am, I wish good life for them, I hope they will be very patient for this is the destiny or fate which has been written by The Creator. There is nothing bad about it. It's just another test. If I were tested with stuff, I will always remember. "Allah will never tests us if He knew we cannot handle it." 

"There is no such thing as gratitude unexpressed. If it is unexpressed, it is plain, old-fashioned ingratitude." — Robert Brault
