When Life Is on the Line: My Truest Gratitude and Happiness.

Gratitude is powerful, and I practice thankfulness not just on bad days but everyday. Apart from an imaginary scenario of being held at gunpoint, there are worse situations people face daily, but yet they choose to practice gratitude.
They choose to find a blessing to count and be grateful for and that's something I like seeing people practice.

Well, if a gun is placed on my head right now, and I'm given a chance to express gratitude, alot of things will come to my mind to be grateful for and the fear of never seeing them again will be extremely painful and sad. At that point, I will be more concerned about living for what I'm grateful for and protecting myself to have a chance to experience them again.

The first thing I will be grateful for is my family. The gift of family is priceless. Grateful for a family that loves and cares deeply about me.
I will be grateful for my parents, my sisters and my brother. They are the best that ever happened to me and I love and cherish them.
I will be grateful for a family that stands by my side, supports me and accepts me dearly for who I am.
Accepts my flaws and loves me regardless.
Grateful for a family that has held me from birth, to every stage of growth and development. My family is a part of my story that can't be eliminated. Their love and support is second to none, and I'm forever grateful for them.
At gun point, if given an opportunity to be grateful for anything, my family is definitely going to come first, because without my family, I wouldn't have experienced the joy or even find a purpose to keep surviving.

Secondly, I will be grateful that I'm healthy. Even at gun point I will be grateful that I'm not in the hospital.
I realized the hospital wasn't a good place to be last year. I spent time at the hospital and I had to build myself to practice gratitude everyday, including, good and bad days.
People are battling with sicknesses and pain, living with drugs, drips and life support. Most of them might wish to die at gunpoint instead of going through unbearable pains and still die at the end.
I'm forever grateful for good health, grateful I can breathe, walk, and survive daily without drugs.
Part of the things I'm forever grateful for is good health.
Regardless of what might happen at gunpoint, I will remain grateful for good health and not lying half dead on a hospital bed, and not being a cause of burden or liability to those I love is worth being grateful for. Forever grateful for good health.

I will be grateful for the gift of friends. We might not be communicating as often as we did when we had no responsibilities, but I'm grateful for the experiences we had together, shared, the lessons we learn from ourselves, the risk we took together, our quarrels and lovey dovey moment.
I will be grateful for our mutual understanding and the positivity we share amongst ourselves. Indeed, life is good when you find the right person.
I'm grateful for my friends and everyone that crossed path with me.

Also, grateful for survival, for those who have loved me genuinely. Grateful for businesses and online jobs that have given me an opportunity to pay my bills and share with those that I love and care about.

In life, we really don't have to own the world to practice gratitude. At the end of the day, it's the things we don't always regard, that is worth being grateful for, worth being alive for. We don't have to be at gunpoint to remember the importance of family, good health, friends and many other benefits of life. Regardless of what might happen in such a situation, I'm grateful and happy for family, good health and the gift of friends.
