The grass isn't always greener on the other side. These days it is so easy to fall into the trap of taking everything for granted.
Tomorrow is not a guarantee. It's so easy to always look for something or someone better, with social media - no wonder the divorce rate is so high in this country.
We hardly ever hear about couples reaching their 50th/60th or even 70th wedding anniversary. It is so easy to just give up and get divorced and tell the judge all the miserable things about your partner/marriage.
While you are looking for something better, you are missing out on what is right in front of you. When you wake up in the morning, and wake up next to the person that you love, be thankful that you were able to wake up next to them.
Be thankful that you have another gorgeous day to make memories with the person that you love. Imagine waking up alone every morning? As you go about your daily routine to get done for work, be thankful that you have your partner to share every moment with.
Imagine getting done in the mornings alone? As you go through your day, be thankful that when your day is over, you are returning to the one you love. Imagine going home alone. When you partner comes to fetch you after a long day at the office, be thankful that they cared enough to come and fetch you - sure you could have taken the taxi, bus, train or walked, but someone cares about you enough to fetch you - be thankful.
Imagine going home alone? As you share your days events over dinner, be thankful that your partner is sitting with you, sharing your moments. Be thankful that you are able to share dinner together. Imagine not having any food at all?
Imagine eating your dinner alone? If your partner works odd hours, be thankful that they are prepared to sacrifice their time to be able to provide your family with everything they need. Imagine you were both jobless?
As your get ready for bed, be thankful that the one you love is getting into bed with you, holding you tight and whispering, " goodnight my love " as you fall asleep.
Imagine going to sleep alone? It so easy to take every single thing that your partner does for you for granted, to complain about all the things your partner didn’t do, or all the things you expect your partner to be, instead of complaining, look at your partner through the eyes of gratitude and nothing else will matter. The grass that you have - will flourish if given the right attention.
