Here’s a little poem I wrote some time ago:
The (Hilarious) Giver
I’ve heard it’s good to give until it hurts,
But I have yet to feel this holy pain.
It seems the more I give, the more I gain:
I bare my back and bear back thirty shirts!
It’s joy to spend a grand amount—
Especially when it’s God’s account.
Happy Thanksgiving. May your gratitude deliver you from the tyranny of lesser things.

Happy Thanksgiving to you!
It is good to have one day in a year designated for the expression of gratefulness. We do not have one here in Malaysia. But I am always in the mood for gratefulness. Hope you don’t mind me joining in. Your president, Abraham Lincoln is so wise!
The world would be less chaotic, it would be a more peaceful place if each one of us has the awareness in him that there are plenty for which he should be thankful for.
Gratefulness gives us contentment and peace of mind. These two qualities help reduce our stress level which helps greatly in keeping us healthy.
To remind myself of my good fortune, I have drawn up a list for my daily expression of giving thanks.
