List of things to be thankful for

Birth : You gotta  be thankful for the day you are born, might not realise it soon but still has to be a first in the chronological order of your life and nor will you be able to type after you die, so best to jot it down now and may be repeat again if you get a chance.

Loving mother : You know you have a loving mother when she takes on the world for your well being and of course for your father too in a intangible manner as he influences your life to a huge extent. I hope I can elicit better words from my daughter on my contributions.

Decent school life : A bunch of good teachers and good friends and perhaps good grades build the foundation of our lives

Youth and college : Thank God for getting the wisdom to survive and preventing from falling astray as these are the most vulnerable times of our lives where we have the least control over our good senses.

First flight, first car, first love :These are the high flying moments in our lives and probably the enthusiasm in most cases does not last long but still blessed to have some memory of it.

Brotherhood : Your life and your loved ones become most precious when someone survives an accident or illness. I believe for me this is the biggest thing to be thankful for.

First job/ career : The engine of your life if you get into a balanced career, it could give you the thrills and at times the chills but the experiences make you what you are as a human being, social being and a worker who supports his industry and at times leads and if destined leaves an impression on those around to inspire or in rare cases leave a legacy behind.

Marriage : A special feeling to have found the special one and a challenging one for the rest of life to understand each other but still loving to live with each other and care for each other, fight with each other and tread along in life

First child : Quite an experience and as the baby grows you see God's love, unconditional love which only a child or a mother can give. This is where you believe that only God could create such a thing.
