let's start counting our blessings (:

I'd like to take this opurtunity to apologize..I was in a bad mood last night when I posted my unfortunate and regrettable comments, the Los Angeles Lakers were takin it to my Denver Nuggets and earlier my Chicago Bulls were taken to the woodshed by the Sixers. Both my teams are being eliminated from the playoffs and I was frustrated and took my anger out on Little Nando.

Of course it never hurts to remind people to count their blessings. I'll count mine in a second

Because the mind MAKES everything else strong...now stop talking and do the needful!

ok ok m going !

keep my mind strong...eh ? :( why not i keep each and every part of my body strong ? :)

Best of luck Rizkz! KEEP your mind strong!!!!

Go Rizkz, GO Rizks!!!!!!!!! You can do it!

Okies, thanks for the encouragement !

Tying my lungi to the waist and heading towards some haunted villas....:)

Why? If you are not afraid ,do the best you can, and expect only the best, than nothing bad will happen to you.

Most probably you will have made a friend for life all the way into the hereafter! Very useful!

ROFL nomerci !

then after tat conversation i wil find myself with no legs or eyes...:(

No Rizks, we should not. Fear makes us react in the wrong way, maybe even putting ourselves in danger.

Think about it rationally, and react properly.Like this: you say....hey, I;m sorry, you lost your head somewhere? Let's go and look for it together...I have eyes, you don't...:P

how about if u visit some haunted house and you find someone standing in front of you who is all white but without a head, should we be in fear ? :(

Good one. I am grateful for so many things every day. I have come a loooong way, and I am proud of it.

One word of advise though...do not, EVER, be fearful of anything...fear is humankind's biggest enemy.

Whenever fear, doubt or worry raise their ugly heads in your mind, chase them away...they are useless.

So nice of u Rizks!!!!n thanks u!!!!

Most of the time wht i want to say its already said, so i really wish there was like button over here, other times Just a Blank Stare @ some of the recent forums n comments!!!!

May the angels in heaven hover over you in your sleep, spread their wings to keep you sound and safe. May the heaven’s high above you light a path at you to find your way back in the morning :P

"God had nothing to do with it. He wasn't the top salesman in the entire Western Region last year, I was. I'm taking all the credit here.."...no comments ! after reading this - Mannapro !

HASNA!!!!! WB...now I can add this to my "grateful for" list. I'm grateful to MN for posting this thread that brought back our buddy Hasna!

Before I go to sleep-

Any more words of wisdom my friend?

Thanks for the lovely reminder MN,

Pray & thank God for blessing me a with caring family, good friends & for everthing in life !!!!

MP: this newly self-proclaimed saffron robe Monk is trying too hard to press down the demons within him. You were just one post away from reopening the Pandora box.

I understand better now FathimaH

Thanks

I remember you telling us how you were at this whole spiritual getaway thing(which you didn't really care for), guess for us here in Qatarliving forums like this serve as our extramundane flight from our constant whining over our shortcomings. This is our feel good thread!

Gave me chills when I heard Tink & Fatimah. My biggest fear right now would be something happening to my son.

MN, here's a link that made me cry and goes with your theme today:

I just read that she passed away. The poor family. :(

Totally blessed nad happy with my life and am very thankful to Allah, and feel even more blessed when i see less fortunate labours working without enough compensation.

I feel ya..I often say I would appreciate having just one child until the day I die rather than having more and then having to endure the pain of losing even one. No loving parent ever wants to live to bury their child =(

Some people are sooo full of it!!!!

Get over urself MP - no one gives a rats ass if ur 50 and were the top salesman! So just zip it! Go blow ur trumpet elsewhere!

u want respect u learn to give it too.....

Alright alright..Maybe I was a little hard on the boy, but...He just bothers me for some reason..

I'm sorry Nandoz

We should all count our blessings...Its good advice

Today I'm grateful that my son was born healthy and happy. Just found out that two of my friends from high school's little girl was born stillborn. :(

!!!!Om bhur bheva sewaha tat savitur varaniyam, bhargo devasdhi mahi dhiyo yo na prachho deya, OMMMMMMMMM SHANTI SHANTI OMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!

Mannapro, in todays fast moving life, we forget wat we are blessed with and also tend to forget thanking the ONE who has blessed us with such wonderful things in our life.

MN said that coz, many knew this but its always good to remind and he has just reminded us for which atleast 'I' should thank him for and its always good to thank the One Almighty God for wat he has blessed us with ?

Hey friend..I made all my money- the hard way. God had nothing to do with it. He wasn't the top salesman in the entire Western Region last year, I was. I'm taking all the credit here

I don't care where or what country or culture you're from- You had to be thinkin what I wrote when you read Nandoz post. "Count your blessings"? I think thats written on our dollar bill somewhere- Tell me something I don't know

sitting on floor, legs crossed....

OMMMMMMMMM SHANTI SHANTI OMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

I too remember my kindergarden teacher and even my parents say the same but wats the harm in reminding ? its afterall good for urself - right ?

Marco, a little friendy advice

Shouldn't you get a little more life experience before you start preaching to people who've been around the world, worked entire careers and raised families? I mean who do you think you are anyway?

You act like youre telling us something we didn't think about 20 years before you were born- Yeah, yeah, yeah count my blessings- I remember my kindergarden teacher telling me that in 1965

I am alive. (Others are dead already).

I appreciate that positive thought...masha allah...

We can all sleep tight tonight....

I am indeed thankful for what theLord has given me. Thanks for reminding me :0)

Masha Allah,Thabarakhallah.Very admirable bro...keep up the positive spirit and remember even God loves the grateful and patient.

Ok let me try to do the same now. What I am grateful for:

1)My faith

2)My husband and daughter

3)My family

4)My home and life in Qatar

5)Reasonably good health

6)Answered prayers

7)Unanswered prayers(Specially those made in times of immaturity and haste)

8)friends both in person and virtual

9)Education and knowledge

10)financial security

I could go on but I'll stop there..wow..we sure are more blessed than we think. Thanks MN for being an awesome reminder. Will go to bed tonight in a much more pleasant and appreciative mood. Good night all!

Tonight I'm being thankful for

1- family

2- my friends

3- my health

4- my home

5-and all the blessings I have received in my life.

Oh and most of all I;m being thankful tonight for God giving me a chance to see this vid be thankful for something.

Yes BB, We need to stop the negative vibes on here and learn chase away the resentful negative feelings

I think it should be :) and not (: Or is it that as people write from right to left, that the (: would make more sense?

MN - Going out and doing things also helps in blocking out negative emotions :)

This is the vid I was talking about. &feature=related
