I have so much of things to be grateful for. Every person's journey is different and I don't think I am in a position to write whether I went through the worst or the better - compared to the rest I know. Somehow, I am sure there are people with different problems to deal with. No one's problem is small or big - our paths are different - that's all.
I have decided to start something new with my blog. I would create a label called "grateful" and the whole idea is to label posts that talks about things I am grateful about. It can be something really small - yet I am thankful.
The idea hit me today while I was driving back home (as usual great things come to me when I'm trying to not to speed). It was raining very heavily today and the clouds were dark - it was 4.30pm but was almost as dark as 7.30pm. The visibility on the highway was reduced to a mere 100-150 meters and most cars were going slowly - around 80-90km/h.
I was very careful but I would say it was needless. Why? Because my car was that stable! Honestly, it was totally a different experience for me. A short flashback hit me then. I recalled the time when I had to endure massive downpours on highways, being splashed by heavy trucks passing by on the opposite or side lane, and keep both my hands locked on my steering wheel to avoid the car from skidding. Imagine how fragile the car was!
Today, despite the heavy downpour and low visibility, I was able to travel at a reasonable speed and the only difference I felt compared to driving during non-rainy days was the swiping wiper - which did its job quietly by the way.
And that's about it.
I am very grateful for being able to own a good, safe car. In spite of some remarks some may have thrown unto me for getting a new car, I'm glad I have moved past the fear and invested in something that will keep me alive while I'm on the road. I am extremely grateful :)
