As part of our healthier lifestyle programme (this requires a dedicated entry on its own), Wil and I have been going for walks around the neighbourhood. Whilst brisk walking one night last week, I asked Wil to list 3 things he was most thankful for-that day. Being the more analytical of the two, I expected him to take a long time to name thankful things. My sweet husband was speedy in his reply and came up with more than what was required.
Wil was thankful for:
Ø Being able to have the time to exercise with me
Ø Everything about us (he must be happily delirious that night)
Ø Everything about the kid
Ø The beautiful night (and day)
Ø How eventful that day was (completing his new road bike project, eating nasi lemak from Tanjong Pagar market, getting a greatly needed haircut, swimming laps, swimming with the kid) Ø A decent job
When it was my turn, I named:
Ø Our health
Ø Great supportive parents (both sides), especially now with the kid
Ø Us
It strucked me that we were both thankful for the simple things. We have come a long way, the both of us, from counting the number of credit cards or model of mobile phones we owe. It is the simple things in life we are thankful for.
Simple Things (by Zero 7)
It’s an easy ride to roam
You’ll never walk alone
Naturally we blew
Simple things we say
Everyday we find the way
Seems like we’ve opened up the door
Feels like we’ve walked this way before
Naturally we blew
Simple things you say
Everyday you'll find the way
It amazes (me)
