A famous writer was in his study room. He picked up his pen and started
writing:
**Last year, I had a surgery and my
gallbladder was removed. I had to stay stuck to the bed due to this surgery for
a long time.
**The same year I reached the age of 60 years and had to give up my
favourite job. I had spent 30 years of my life in this publishing company.
**The same year I experienced the sorrow of the death of my father.
**And in the same year my son failed in his medical exam because he had a
car accident. He had to stay in bed at hospital with the cast on for several
days. The destruction of car was another loss.
At the end he wrote: Alas! It was
such bad year!!
When the writer's wife entered the room, she found her husband looking sad
lost in his thoughts. From behind his back she read what was written on the
paper. She left the room silently and came back with another paper and placed
it on the side of her husband's writing.
When the writer saw this paper, he found this written on it:
**Last year I finally got rid of my
gall bladder due to which I had spent years in pain.
**I turned 60 with sound health and got retired from my job. Now I can
utilize my time to write something better with more focus and peace.
**The same year my father, at the age of 95, without depending on anyone
or without any critical condition met his Creator.
**The same year, God blessed my son with a new life. My car was destroyed
but my son stayed alive without getting any disability.
At the end she wrote: This year was an immense blessing of God and it
passed well!!
See!! The incident was same but viewed
in different viewpoints. If we ponder with this viewpoint that what could have
happened more, we would truly become thankful to the Almighty.
In our daily lives we must see that
it's not happiness that makes us grateful but gratefulness that makes us happy.
There is always, always, always something to be thankful for!! Stay
Blessed !!
