How can Gratitude week be complete without thanking the people that make life worth living!! These are the relationships that we are born into and the ones that forge along the way that sustain us through the ups and downs of life.
They say you can't choose your family. I can only thankful that I've been blessed with one that I would not change anything about! With all our similarities and despite all our differences, we are a really tight unit and I know I can count on them no matter what.
As for friends, I have a really diverse bunch that keep me grounded, happy, a bit crazy and a bit sane! We all need different types of people in our life because if we kept relationships with those that are just like us, we would miss out on so many different perspectives, experiences and opportunities.
So here's my thanks to my bunch, in my own special way!!
Someone to share the joys of life with,
to share a laugh or two;
And share a shoulder to cry upon.
when life throws stones at you!
Someone to look up to,
for unbiased, objective advice;
Someone who can call out your flaws,
without being obliged to be nice!
Someone to share your love of coffee,
someone to share your love for cake;
Someone to sing, read or watch movies with,
Someone with whom to run, play or bake!
Someone to call you and ask if you're okay,
if you've reached home safely when you're late;
when your unwell, upset or alone,
or when there's heavy rains or an earthquake!
Someone to make you rasam when you're sick
Someone to make you a card for your birthday;
Someone to cover you when you fall asleep on the couch,
or when your oversleep, to shake you awake!
Someone you can call in the middle of the night,
without thinking twice (or even once!)
Someone you can ask favours from,
without feeling like you're being a burden!
Someone who'll drop you to the airport,
to see you off when you go away;
Or someone who'll get you food,
When you're back home after a holiday!
Someone who can scold, chide or scream at you,
when you do something out of line;
Someone who won't mince words,
Because they genuinely have your best in mind!
Someone who is family,
but you can talk to as as friend;
And someone who is a friend,
but feels like family, no end!
Someone who is young,
Fun and crazy beyond compare;
Someone who is old,
and has stories, experiences and advice to share!
Or someone who is young,
Yet mature beyond their age,
And someone who is old,
Yet fun in a way, almost savage!
I feel blessed to have all of these people in my life,
Family or friend, they help me get by,
I'm thankful to them for always being there,
I'll never take them for granted, yet on them, I'll always rely!
I hope you too have such a fabulous bunch of loved ones in your life - to share all your happy and sad, angry or fun moments with. Parents, siblings, spouse, cousins, grandparents, aunts/uncles, school friends, college mates, commute friends, work colleagues - all of these people that we interact with, sometimes everyday and sometimes after gaps of years, still have such an important role to play in our life! Make sure you let the people who are special to you know what they mean to you because life is too short for unspoken sentiments.
And I pray that those who you hold special hold you special too,
Because there's nothing more meaningful than a feeling that's mutual!
New post tomorrow!
