I Just Want To Say Thank You For The Things I Have In My Life
Written by Alex Marlin on October 25, 2007 – 2:34 am -On a daily basis we hear many complaints about all the things that isn’t perfect in their life. The sad fact is that we spend our lives complaining and not counting our blessings. So it is only fair to say that we have to be thankful for what we have now, otherwise we will never be able to attract anything better in our lives.
The things we get in life can only be appreciative if we are thankful for receiving what we have. Many of us are not thankful and that is why we face hardship on a daily basis. I would just like to show what all I have to be thankful for.
I would like to say thank you:
- To my Mom for bringing me into this world, I know it was hard on you raising six boys all alone, but you did it your way, and I love you for that
- To my father for giving life to this little hard to understand boy. It is your genes that made me this way, you know why we can’t see eye to eye, but I love in my own way, it’s just that we can never find a topic to talk about
- To my wife, for giving me three lovely kids and sticking with all the hard times I put you through. I know our life isn’t a bed of roses, but I love you anyway
- For life, without life there would be no me, and no inspiration to all that I am today and all that I will be tomorrow
- To my six brothers, we are all different in each and every way possible. I wish you all the best in life, and do hope we continue on as brothers
- For giving me my son, Alexander Junior, he isn’t the easiest kid to deal with, but he has a great hearts, and I do wish to stay alive until he is a grown man, because I know greatness awaits him
- For my daughter Imani, when she was just three years, she said she wants to be a Doctor. Bless her and let her become the greatest and most caring Doctor this world have ever seen.
- For my little Iovana, she is a handful, my Mom says that she was here before, she is years ahead of her age group. Bless her with wealth and good health. for she deserves only what her heart desires
- For my lovely home, we have been living in for 10 years now

- To the many family members I know and have shared great Moments with and to those I don’t know, wish to meet you all some day soon
- To Miriam Fleming a.k.a “Baba”, I know you just had a serious car accident, but the great person you are can’t be silenced by no car accident. Wish you a speedy and healthy recovery.

- To Mr. Monsanto for giving me a chance to work with you, I know now what hard work is. You really push me to my limits, but I am strong and can follow. Keep pushing, I am getting better and stronger
- To this wonderful Universe, you have given and given and I continue to grow and prosper. My time has come to give back, and that is what I do with this blog. I will help you all grow and prosper by publishing nothing but helpful articles.
- For the wisdom you have given me and the courage to build this blog

Last but not least, I am thankful for being my self and for not following any wrong practices or bad people and only wanting the best for myself in this life. I am what I am today, because of all the people I have met in my life. You have all influenced me in many more ways than you know. Thanks.
Life is what you make of it, start being more thankful for the things you have, no matter how small or unimportant you may think it is. Life only gets better once we start to accept the little things that are being offered.

Now that was a really nice blog.
I love how you put it together, you sound like a professional. You should take your writing to a higher level.
Seriously, this was just great reading. So good, I red it over numerous times.
Keep up the good work. I think I might steal some of your ideas for my blog, they’re just great ideas.
Good Job Alex

Sound you say…
I am far from that, I am just myself, and lately I am in the zone. Just feel like writing.

It is great how you took time out to say THANK YOU, sometimes we never do get to say these words and then end up regreting that we never did.
I see that you are definatly in the zone of letting all your emotions out, whether it be things people want to hear or not. Sometimes that is needed and if it brings self contentment then so be it.
Let it all out and be not afraid because people are very afraid of the truth and rather hear a lie and live behind a mural that shows a pretty picture and we all know where that can lead. Be honest, say what you mean and mean what you say.
I do hope your sight becomes a place where all your views and opinions and personal breakthroughs reflect who you really are.

I am glad to see your reaching out.
I do hope you still have that smile, it is the only picture in my mind that I have of you, I will not put any other pictures of you.
Sometimes we just need to let it out, and move on. I surely did, and I got the courage and made this site.

Alex,
I’ve been reading all the articles and responses to your blog.
They are very refreshing and good reading. I’ve noticed that you have a real good talent, that I did not know you’ve had.
Much success with your site and I truly believe that you should pursue a career in writing. Probably short stories and have them published.
Regards and success,

Why Thank you Mr Rombley,
I feel honored to know you would take time out of your busy life to comment on my site.
To be honest I did shock myself when I started this site, seeing the content I have written so far. I will consider what you said, but for now, I will continue to write free content for all the wise few to enjoy and prosper from.
I will make a test run, and write a short story on this site, and set up a poll and see how many people really like it. Who knows, my future may lead me to be the next “Alexander The Great”, writer this time around.
