4. Your home
Be grateful for the roof of your house and how it protects you and your family from different seasons. You may be complaining about that ceiling leaking water or a room makeover.
Think of many unfortunate ones who cannot even call the place home where they live. At least we have a sturdy house to stay in, which we call home.
5. Clean clothes
Be grateful for the clothes that you have in the closet. We can even buy new ones for every season.
Next time, when decluttering your closet for new clothes, try donating the old ones to those who do not even know what a wardrobe is.

If you are earning or running a family with the income you have, then this is very vital to feel blessed for.
Doesn’t matter how large or small the sum is, as long as your pockets and accounts have cha-chings. A small income is better than no income.
