A New Creed

I've been grumbling more and more lately. It's a habit (pastime?) that is becoming more and more entrenched. Why?
1. I'm Singaporean
2. I'm a civil servant
3. I'm a teacher (each lesson gives me potentially 40 things to complain about.)

What to do?

So here's my new creed - give thanks.

This is the cure to a grumbling spirit and a sad life. (The grumbling spirit is what led to a 40-year wandering in the desert, and a plague that killed thousands, after all.)

Give thanks - My new creed is to buck the trend. And to do this at the start and end of each day. And today, there are so many things to thank God for! A good night's rest, cool weather, getting to work on time (which is a greater and greater challenge as each day passes...), tasks done, problems miraculously ironed out at work, nice food, surviving the day.

And even duh! things to be thankful about, which I had scoffed at earlier - breakfast (how many ppl are starving in the world!), the ability to walk, a job.

Bucking the trend is good.
