One seems so focused on what he wants from the future that he forgets to be thankful to the past for allowing him the life he has had. True, there always seem to be people for whom nothing is ever good enough. But there is little we can do about them.
There have been several little joys that stick to my memory to this day and will very probably go to my funeral with me. Regardless of any changes later in my life, these little shifts in my growth will never get overshadowed.
On a look out for an important document I ended up with stuff more momentous...
my slam books,loads of paper cutouts,photographs...which roped me to implant vignettes into my memory. During the process I realised how great a cricket devotee I used to be,prompted me of those few chums ive gotten disconnected with,raked up those kerfuffles which happened during the lunch breaks in the school,those quibbles over celeb paper cutouts,those flyspeck raslings during the game(I remember one in which I actually knocked this dame's tooth out)....these incidents so bantam yet so powerful,pedagogic and entrenched that its hopelessly impossible that they get erased from your mind.
There are more things that I ought to be thankful for. They may not mark turnabouts in my education or my personal life, but they affect the whole of my worldview in small but significant ways. We all need them for perspective and should remain ever thankful for them.
