Just Thankful
The alarm
woke me up at 5:00 a.m. I turn off the alarm and look at the phone to start my
morning reading. I am thankful for the high technology of the twenty-first
century. I am thankful to have a smart phone in my palm as a learning tool and entertainment.
I promptly update the information, news, input knowledge and feed my hungry
mind anywhere and anytime in the busy schedule. The internet and cyber world
not only carry me to go back to Vietnam to view the country changing, but also
display Mother Nature’s beauty around the world.
Sitting on
the cozy couch, through the window, a hummingbird couple soaring and sucking
red nectar at the birdfeeder, the dove cooing, the birds chirping waiting for
me to feed them, I am thankful for living in a peaceful nest with my half. I am
thankful for Mom and Dad to leave Dan the invaluable property structure. I am
thankful for Mom and Dad to prepare Dan’s knowledge that Dan earns money for
living and for protecting me from financial insecurity. I am thankful for my
parents’ investment in our education and inheritance discipline and hardworking
ethic from them to balance and maintain our happiness as a couple.
My eyes
touch the flower basket with red, white, pink, orange roses, burgundy asters,
shiny marigolds, tiny yellow flowers, and green leaves, with the red bow, saying
“Happy Thanksgiving,” sitting in the middle of the family table, and gift cards
leaning around the basket. I am thankful for working with the amazing children,
understanding parents, and supporting staff at UCLA University Village Center.
The children often surprise me with curious questions, and give me joy with
their innocent laughter to sunshine my day. I am thankful for such a working
environment. It is the most wonderful time of my working career as a childcare
provider.
Just
thankful for good and bad circumstances come into my life!
