Counting My Blessings
Life, Musings June 10th, 2007Tagged by Avaris. Not sure how many I’m supposed to put, but here’s five (in no particular order):
- My current living environments: Wild, rainy weather here in Sydney recently quite vividly reminds me how fortunate I am to be living in a warm, functioning and comfortable house. There were times in my childhood when that was not the case (once where I lived when I was quite young, one of the windows to one of the houses I lived in actually blew off during a particularly rainy night, and my poor mother was the only one there to try to patch things up as best as she could).
- My mum: Bestest role model of my life. She basically held up our whole household financially, even if that meant she sacrificed a lot of her own time and happiness for us.
- Tim: Okay, everything that I could say here would be so INCREDIBLY MUSHY your brain would explode, so I’ll just leave it out. :P Just say he’s on the list.
- Reason and Rationality: I feel blessed that I’ve encountered people and been educated to value the importance of reason and rationality. I’m glad I live at a time of growing awareness of the power of thinking and discourse over tradition, culture and other arbitrary social pressures (especially the harmful type). We’re not totally there yet, but we’re on our way.
- Friends: I’m thankful for those who stuck around.
I tag: Everyone who’s so much as THOUGHT about doing this meme!
More substantial entry coming soon, exam season has commenced.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
I don’t feel that I’ve been as blessed as you in regards to number four. I’m completely irrational most of the time and the people around me aren’t much better! Your mum sounds amazing though. :)
I’m afraid I can’t do this meme. I’m saving up gratitude for Thanksgiving (aka Turkey Day).
To Amber: She IS amazing! :D
To Tim: I think we’re all thankful for turkeys.
Hi Belinda! Lol, I would love to hear all your INCREDIBLY MUSHY part on your boyfriend! :P, I love to read romance :P kekeke
We got a lot of windy days here, and one guys house top window blew off and crashed into the middle of the street, lol. He spent a lot of time cleaning up. My brothers went agaisnt my moms order and helped him. >
I think I am beginning to see why my comments get cut off sometimes XD…last thing I said was that your mother does sound amazing, just like what Amber said. ^^
all mothers deserve to be on these lists, and your mom sounds so cool!
counting your blessings is fun, but I’m too lazy to do it :P
Fantastic! I might do this for fun. I agree with number 4, but I’m still sad because of all the irrationality I see. Bleh!
