“Thankfulness is the beginning of gratitude. Gratitude is the completion of thankfulness. Thankfulness may consist merely of words. Gratitude is shown in acts.” —Henri Frederic Amiel
Today is World Gratitude Day let’s all be grateful for all that we are and all that we have even as we strive to be more do more and have more
It’s
important to teach gratitude in action – that’s what my parents reminded me
It’s 1: 15 PM on day 3054 since I started blogging and I managed to pray, read a Bible verse, and do some work
This Sunday my brother will be headed off to university and so yesterday we visited some of our community members who’ve had an impact on his life and as we left each house my mom would say to him tell aunty and uncle you’re leaving for university and he didthey all knew of course but my mother was reminding him to be grateful to the people that made him who he is…it was truly beautiful to witness.
Aliveness is a gift not a privilege – that’s my message to the world

Please do a good deed today, take a pic related to the deed, tag me (@Nisha360) in the tweet and use #AliveDay9. Help me celebrate life.
Gratitude turns what you have into enough– that’s my message to the world
It’s 3: 28 PM on day 2981 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray read a Bible verse, spend time with family, spend time outside and do some work.
Today I just wanted to be like everybody else I didn’t want to be lifted, carried or anything else I just wanted to get through the day the way most people do but since I knew that wasn’t going to happen I shifted my focus to gratitude everything changed when I remembered that Somebody somewhere would trade places with me in a heartbeat even with all my daily challenges
If all you have now is all you ever will have would you still be grateful?- that’s my question to the world
It’s 11: 13 AM on day 2971 of my journey towards independence and I managed to spend time outside, read a Bible verse and do some work
Today I found myself wondering if all you have now is all you ever will have would you still be grateful – in our consumerist society could we possibly be content with enough while still striving to be all of who we were born to be…I hope it’s possible FOR ALL OUR SAKES because this more-is-more culture is destroying Earth (literally).
Fill every day with goodness, kindness and mercy – that’s my message to the world.
It’s 1 : 15 PM on day 2962 of my journey towards independence and I managed to spend time outside, read a Bible verse and do some work
Today I celebrate my 8th #AliveDay – 8 months since my surgery – I remember the pain and if I should ever forget the large scars on my arm remain to remind me but I’m not defined by pain I’m defined by purpose. Around Alive Day I do something good for others thus turning an otherwise merely painful event into something beautiful. Please do a good deed today, take a pic related to the deed, tag me (@Nisha360) in the tweet and use #AliveDay8. Help me celebrate life.
Replace envy with gratitude and your whole life will change– that’s my message to the world.
It’s 12 : 45 PM on day 2958 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, spend time outside, read a Bible verse and do some work
Yesterday I decided that every time I felt envy I would replace envy with gratitude because I know that although there’s a lot I yearn for I am aware of the fact that what I have is what some people pray for.
The challenges we go through make us grateful for that which we would have otherwise taken for granted – that’s what I’ve realized
It’s 12 : 57 PM on day 2952 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, read a Bible verse and do some work
Last night I slept really well and nowadays I’m grateful for that because I still remember the days following my surgery a few months ago when I couldn’t put my arm down on the bed while I slept because it hurt so bad. Every day I’m grateful for the little-big-things because I’ve had to fight for and through everything it’s not a complaint just a fact.
Being alive is a privilege not an obligation – that’s what I want the world to know.
It’s 2 : 08 PM on day 2932 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, read a Bible verse and do some work
On this day seven months ago I was being wheeled into an operating theatre for my contracture surgery I was on that morning I remember sitting in our dining room thinking “just one more sunrise” – let me live to see another sunrise. I’m so grateful every day that I made it out of that OR alive. Happy Alive Day to me!
The MAGIC of life lies in the appreciation of it – those who don’t appreciate life and those who no longer have life are no different– that’s what I’ve realized.
It’s 12 : 27 PM on day 2931 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, spent time outside, read a Bible verse and do some work.
Every day I am reminded that the MAGIC of life lies in the appreciation of it – those who don’t appreciate life and those who no longer have life are no different I know people who are so downtrodden despite almost ideal life circumstances it’s like their ingratitude makes them blind to their blessings which they might as well not have it saddens me deeply to see and hear people take for granted what others pray for
