Have you ever thought about how lucky you are? Well, I did... Today I woke up from a nightmare and sat up, I looked around my room at my bed, my closet, my books, my clothes, my table, my laptop, and then at myself... I suddenly felt that I was really lucky to be born, especially lucky to be born in a happy family with a working brain and body... I imagined how hard my life would be if I had no money, no shelter, no food, no parents, no arms/legs, or if I was deaf, blind, and couldn't express my feelings with words coming out of my mouth. I looked around me and thought that I had everything, I had a bed, I had food, I had parents, and everything else that I need. Today I thought that I was really lucky that I didn't need to work everyday at places to survive, didn't need to worry everyday just for food and shelter, didn't need to worry about freezing in the cold, and that I had money to go to such a school. I saw all this as a note from god, and for me, it's telling us to be thankful of what you have, make good use of the luck that god gave us, and thank our parents for raising us from the moment we were born...
