Appreciate While You Can

Text: Rozanah Zakaria

Oftentimes, we choose to dream on to get what others have. Though it’s not applicable to all, I believe most of us feel that at times.

So, learn to appreciate what we have, while we can. Take for instance, our family members who are around us, staying with us. We see them , we talk to them, we eat together with them every day, usually on ‘auto-pilot’ mode where we don’t even have the thought that we would be losing them one day, or it may be the other way around.

What I learn most during this time is to appreciate those breakfast moments I have every morning. A sharp pang of thought struck me one day that this was a luxurious I’ve been longing for. When my life was once a chaos, always short of time, even for a cup of coffee in the morning with my husband and daughter.

Now, I have plenty of time to cook every morning, preparing a few dishes for us. I often have an hour calm and satisfying breakfast with my daughter and both my parents in laws. No more morning rush that I didn’t even have a minute to talk to my father in law before going to work. What a countless blessings!

This MCO is an eye-opener for me that, despite my aplenty of flaws towards Him, He still grants my wishes. How else I could be ungrateful?

Let’s ponder and appreciate our life and those around us while we can.
