It all started with a post in Facebook while reading Rhonda Byrne's book, "The Magic".
The magical power of
gratitude turns your life into gold!
- The Magic
On September 10, 2012, I started my
gratitude-giving project. In a span of 365 days, I will be able to say thank
you at least 1,000 times. The journey starts..........
1 of 1,000: Thank you
that my son and hubby woke up early today. I got to see them smile and kiss
before going to work.
2 of 1,000: Thank you
for this beautiful, sunny day. It means going to work is easier + more earnings
for our buko shake business.

for this wonderful bench at our shuttle service terminal. Just a perfect spot
for reading while getting a dose of morning sunshine.
5 of 1,000: Thank you

for my little boy's strong bones and courage, he is learning to stand very
fast.

back logs.
8 of 1,000: Thank you
Lord for the special gift you are giving me everyday. For letting me see my
dream car not less than 10 times a day... For bringing me closer to my dream
car everyday....
9 of 1,000: Thank you
for this wonderful experience of flying on a business-class and seeing Berlin
for free. Yes! I so love this and I'm doing this again, next time, with my
family.
10 of 1,000: Thank you
for letting me sleep for 5
hours while on flight. I successfully avoided thinking of my koykoys... Mom
said Marty behaved and slept soundly.
11 of 1,000: Thank you
for this trip, I was able to have a little movie marathon which I have not been
doing for the past few months.
12 of 1,000: Thank you

have lots of $$$$$$$$$$$! The more I'm wanting to develop multiple streams of
income so I can let my family enjoy the same experience.
13 of 1,000: Thank you
for this amazing experience of seeing the other part of the world for free.
Seeing and feeling a different culture, learning a lot of new things, and
discovering new things about myself.
14 of 1,000: Thank you
that all the TV shows are in German language, I get to watch CNN during my
entire stay, opening my eyes on global issues. Something I often fail to get
because of watching Cinema One always. Hahaha!
15 of 1,000: Thank you
for the generosity and kindness of one of our organizers. He told me that he
bought some sweets and apples for me. Though I can't get it anymore because I'm
flying back to Manila this evening, I appreciate that he remembered buying me
something.
16 of 1,000: Thank you
for giving me some new friends from different parts of the world (Egypt,
Serbia, Jordan, Tunisia, Sweden, Ireland, Poland, Saudi Arabia, Finland,
Ukraine, Turkey, Belarus, Russia, Spain, Switzerland, and Germany). United
nations!
17 of 1,000: Thank you
for keeping me and my family safe while we are away.

while I'm away.

for letting me experience this cold weather. Making me appreciate the warm
weather in the Philippines.
20 of 1,000: Thank you

motivated to work even better and harder.
21 of 1,000: Thank you
for the blessings our businesses are about to receive today.
22 of 1,000: Thank you
for the humbling experience last night (Short story: On my way home, I rode on
a trike with a lady driver. The lady driver is with her 2-year old son seated
next to me. Seeing this scenario makes me feel fortunate that I have a decent
job and that I need not bring my son along to earn a living).
23 of 1,000: Thank you
for another fruitful and happy month with our son Marty who is celebrating his
9th month birthday today.
24 of 1,000: Thank you
for hubby's wonderful gift. I spend time reading my favorite ebook every
morning. A perfect way to start my day.

for the mentors that remind me to embrace abundance in all aspects of my life -
career, health, money, family, love, happiness, relationships, etc.
26 of 1,000: Thank you for the
gift of wisdom that allowed me to face challenges with tons of positivity.

32 of 1,000: Thank you
for the rain yesterday, we were able to receive bountiful of blessings for our
businesses.
33 of 1,000: Thank
you, Thank you, Thank you... Thank you that my husband is not a perfect, but
humble husband, who can do the dishes, cook, wash clothes, change Marty's
diapers, and give me foot
massage before going to sleep. I appreciate it more after having a conversation
with an irresponsible married man this morning who is too arrogant in saying
that cooking, doing the laundry, and taking care of their baby is his wife's
tasks. Tsk, tsk, tsk... Reminded me how fortunate I am to have a humble
life-long partner. Love you so much, Jun Rupisan! To all married men: Keep in
mind that you married a life-long partner, not a maid. It will not make you
less of a man if you cook food for your wife.
34 of 1,000: Thank you
for having a wonderful father who heats water for me every morning.
35 of 1,000: Thank you

time.

for the superb immune system. I remained cold and cough-free despite the
weather changes these past few days.
41 of 1,000: Thank
you, Thank you, Thank you... Thank you for Marty's strength and courage, he was
able to freestand last night. Such a priceless moment for a mom like me. The
sight of it last night simply took away all the stress from a long day at work.
42 of 1,000: Thank you
for Marty's cute giggles whenever he see's me and his tita Stephanie Barias
sing and dance "If you're happy and you know it."
43 of 1,000: Thank you
for keeping our family close and at peace everyday.
44 of 1,000: Thank you
for my teachers and mentors who taught me A,B,C and 1,2,3. Teachers who

cyber crime law is not an issue, where kids still play
"tumbang-preso", "taguan", and "patintero", where
people still use deep well, where ice candy is still kids' favorite snack,
where computer and internet games has no place.... My baby Marty will surely
grow up as a simple and grounded kid.
52 of 1,000: Thank you
for the pain of giving I'm experiencing. It simply means that I have more
reasons so strive harder to earn more and to give more.
53 of 1,000: Thank you
for giving me this gift of motherhood where happiness is immeasurable and
moments are priceless.

I say, "Thank you for a happy and peaceful life."
Instead of saying, "I hope my loved ones won't get sick."
I say, "Thank you for keeping my loved ones healthy always."
Instead of saying, "I hope there's not much traffic so I won't arrive late for work."
