"Contentment" by ARK

I took a little look around me and found that I should be thankful for all those things I have. I should enjoy all these while it lasts. Nothing is permanent, but contentment is forever.

I saw the electric fan I never noticed before. I more often complained how perpetually hot it was inside the house. I never thanked the fan for doing its job. I remembered all those moment when I thought I would dry up ‘cause of the burning sun. I couldn’t be thankful enough that I’m here being cooled by this fan, instead of somewhere else, dripping with sweat.

I saw my bed. It needed a little tidying up, ‘cause I always forgot how much I loved it. It’s lumpy, but it fit me perfectly. Though I could sleep in any situation, that bed was the only one that truly brought me good sleep. I couldn’t be thankful enough for having my own bed, instead of having to sleep somewhere else.

I saw my study table. It was organized, but it needed a little dusting. I used it often, but I never fully understood its purpose. I did many things on this table- created many things. Now I couldn’t be thankful enough for having the right to use this. Going deeper, I couldn’t be thankful enough for having a proper education, instead of not having any and wondering about my future.

I couldn’t be happier that I have the right to a great future. I’m so happy, that I’ve made it a goal to reach it. I’m gonna reach that future by admiring all these little opportunities, that I’m so blessed with. And when I reach that future, I’m gonna see how big everything’s become…and then I’ll remember that they used to be the little things.
