A Thousand Blessings!
A Thousand Things Went Right Today! by Ilan Shamir, is a poem I read a few years ago, that captures the essence of everyday gratitude, and that inspired me to write a list of a 1000 things I was grateful for at the time. Since then as the years have gone by, I’ve included in my personal journals “A Thousand Blessings!” writing what I was grateful for that day.
Today, as I was writing no 113, I realised how I wanted to launch the www.womenofworth.co.za website…. by asking you to share what went right in your life today… what blessings you are grateful for, and the little and big things you give thanks for each day.
As a South African woman, despite how many challenges I face… I am grateful for so much, and in celebration of the launch of the www.womenofworth.co.za website, I decided to celebrate and share with each of you by having a R1000.00 cash giveaway competition. *Grin*

A thousand things went right today
I saw a tree that in the wind doth sway
a bee buzzed around a flower sweet
I saw ants busy at my feet!
A thousand things went right today
yet all of them I couldn’t say
for words aplenty cannot talk
of all the wonders on this earth doth walk.

A thousand things went right today. Today when I woke up I looked at the sky the wind was blowing swiftly and the birds were whistling. I looked around the streets children were playing, that is when I realised there is peace, love, joy and hope for the lost world. Women of Worth gave me hope and desire to follow my inner voice which is so difficult to cultivate. This shows there is no impossibles in achieving what we long for.

A thousand things went right today! I visited my community initiative area of Blikkiesdorp to show people around. Creating awareness around our soup initiative for the elderly & sandwich initiative for hungry children. We rely on donations to make this possible every week and I say a thousand prayers for sending the right people in my path who believe that ordinary South Africans can make a difference in the lives of those less fortunate.
May 17, 2016 @ 8:04 pm
A thousand things went right today as we got a huge donation of food and clothing for the Home for abandoned babies and toddlers that I work in.
May 18, 2016 @ 4:15 am
Most inspirational for this beautiful morning. I got to wake up, healthy and alive! So did my family. Beautiful sunrise, a roof over our head, food in the fridge and a loving family to count on. Life is full of blessings and being grateful for each moment is what matters. Thanks for the wonderful words!

A thousand things went right today.
Over a couple of comments I will share the story of my life with all the Woman of Worth of why a thousand things goes right in my life every single day but today I will start with the following.
As baby, toddler, teenager and even today as a grown woman I was and still am very ill because of a disease I was born with called Hydrocephalus and I went through tons of operations, in and out of the hospital year in and year out and nearly lost my battle 3 years ago this year August.
So today I start with a thousand things went right today because I woke up, I felt my aches and pains but I was blessed to see another day and when I realised I was spared for yet another day my aches and pains didn’t matter all that much because my number 1 thing of my 1000 things went right and that was I was able to get up and appreciate another beautiful day.

A thousand things went right today as one of my dearest friends blessed me with a Tree of Life pendant with 2 angels on it 🙂
May 20, 2016 @ 7:09 am
A thousand blessings greet me each day. I awake to a beautiful crisp Autumn morning. I have eyes that see and ears that hear and limbs that work. I have a warm bed, a cosy home, a most beautiful garden, a crazy animal family who all adore me unconditionally, a daughter who drives me mad just as a good daughter should but who tells me she wouldn’t have anyone else as her mother, friends who love and support me. . . . see how the list goes on and on so how can a thousand things NOT go right today?
May 20, 2016 @ 12:11 pm
A thousand things went right for me today …. Saying thank you to our MotherGod is how each day begins and ends for me. So happy I got to spend the day with my furry boys. They fill my life with joy xxx
May 21, 2016 @ 8:41 am
A thousand things went right for me today.
I learnt to appreciate the little I got, after all its priceless.
May 21, 2016 @ 8:41 am
A thousand things went right today…… Just reading this poem right now made me realize again that looking at the positive in life has so much more benefits than we realize…being able to open my eyes and see the beauty in the skies, the trees…. Only I decide how I will feel today
May 21, 2016 @ 9:33 am
A thousand things went right today, I been encouraged and prayed for after 7 month’s now employed.
A thousand more people I can help turn their tears into joy.
May 21, 2016 @ 9:44 am
(A Thousands Things went right with me today ) How often do you pause to appreciate what you have in life?
When I was young, I took things for granted. I believe many other kids did so, as well. After all, we were young and we didn’t know what life could be like on the other side.
One thing we took for granted was education. In my country, it’s compulsory for all kids to go to school, so it was a given. We never thought about how lucky we were to be educated.
We also took our teachers for granted. We never thought about how lucky we were to have teachers who cared for our growth so much, and poured their heart and soul into their lessons.
Then slowly as I grew up, I began to appreciate things around me more. As I saw more and more of the world out there, I realized all the things I’d been given are not rights, but privileges.
I realized that being literate is a not a right, but a gift. I realized there is a lot of war and violence in the world, and I’m lucky to live in a country where it’s safe and peaceful. I realized there are people out there who don’t have their five senses, and to have mine is a gift.
I realized the world is so beautiful, and we’re lucky to live in such an amazing world.
Sometimes it’s easy to feel bad because you’re going through a tough time in life. However, remember that no matter how bad your situation may seem, there are tens of thousands of things to be grateful for in life.
May 21, 2016 @ 10:06 am
For my husband, we have also been married for 28 years and for my beautiful only child, Chanel. She teaches in South Korea, it’s 4 years now and God gave me the strength to cope with us living so far apart and grateful that God protects and guides her each day. Also Grateful for each new day, my health and for my little Yorkie, Coco that makes me so happy ❤️❤️❤️
May 21, 2016 @ 10:06 am
(A thousand things went right with me today) I relised women Don’t ever be ashamed of the scars life has left you with. A scar means the hurt is over and the wound is closed. It means you conquered the pain, learned a lesson, grew stronger, and moved forward. A scar is the tattoo of a triumph to be proud of. Don’t allow your scars to hold you hostage. Don’t allow them to make you live your life in fear. You can’t make the scars in your life disappear, but you can change the way you see them. You can start seeing your scars as a sign of strength and not pain. I am just so gratefull for life
May 21, 2016 @ 10:13 am
A thousand things went right with me today… Truth be told, happiness is not the absence of problems, but the ability to deal with them. Imagine all the wondrous things your mind might embrace if it weren’t wrapped so tightly around your struggles. Always look at what you have, instead of what you have lost. Because it’s not what the world takes away from you that counts; it’s what you do with what you have left. Every time it rains, it stops raining. Every time you get hurt, you heal. After darkness there is always light – you are reminded of this every morning, but still you often forget, and instead choose to believe that the night will last forever. It won’t. Nothing lasts forever. I am thankful
So if things are good right now, enjoy it. It won’t last forever. If things are bad, don’t worry because it won’t last forever either. Just because life isn’t easy at the moment, doesn’t mean you can’t laugh. Just because something is bothering you, doesn’t mean you can’t smile. Every moment gives you a new beginning and a new ending. You get a second chance, every second. You just have to take it and make the best of it.

A Thousand Things Went Right Today, as I got up this morning and counted my blessings … Amidst all the trials and tears, I was gifted with the birth of my daughter on Mother’s Day for my 21st birthday, and now with a grandson, as I turn 50 on Tuesday. A Thousand Things Went Right Today, for two of the most precious moments, that I will always treasure. 🙂
May 21, 2016 @ 11:57 am
A thousand things went right today because…. I’m alive, I woke up, opened my eyes, got to see the sunrise, and got another chance and another day at life.
I am a widow and in 2 weeks time on 3 June will be my 16th wedding anniversary.
I am grateful for the beautiful 10yrs I got to share with my late husband and only wished I could have had a little more time.
Our marriage and life together was not perfect and we had many ups-and-downs but with love, faith and trust in each other we survived.
My husband was the most amazing and loving soul. He loved me more than life itself and showed it everyday in the little things he did and the love, care and concern he showed for me.
He was truly my soulmate and I feel incomplete without him.
Treasure and make the most of every moment you get to spend with your loved ones as we are all here only for a limited time.
May 21, 2016 @ 12:05 pm
A Thousand Things Went Right Today. I work for a Non Profit Organization and my passion and my job is to help the people in the community, people whom are sick. I’m glad I can make a difference.
May 21, 2016 @ 12:10 pm
A Thousand Things Went Wrong Today…But I’m thankful for my husband standing by me in very difficult times in my life, difficult financial stressful times in our marriage… I’m grateful that he appreciates my role in completing him, He seeks my insight, He listens to me, His very encouraging which gives me the strength to keep going & After all these years I’m still his very best friend!
May 21, 2016 @ 1:08 pm
A Thousand Things Went Right Today. I went to an old age home today. We gave them a warm blanket, bed socks, some treats and a bowl of home made chicken veggie soup…
They were so grateful…..

May 21, 2016 @ 1:35 pm
A Thousand things went right today 🙂 my 6 children are all healthy and safe… Every need, how big or how small is met timely and effortlessly! God is using us by letting miracles flow to and through us… Every single day brings a “my God is great!” Moment… Yes, today a thousand things went right <3
May 21, 2016 @ 1:43 pm
A thousand things went right today – I woke up to see a new day, I was able to stand up on my legs, I was able to have a hot shower, I had shoes to put on my feet, clothing to put on my body, I could hear the birds, I could smell the coffee, I could feel the love that surrounded me, I could touch my loved ones, I could hear the sweet melody of my granddaughters voice, I could see the beautiful Nature that surrounds me, I could embrace all of Gods richest blessing with a grateful heart, we all take these little things for granted and aim for bigger things but it is these little things in life – family, friends, our 5 senses, Nature and God blessing us with so much – that really counts in life.
May 21, 2016 @ 1:57 pm
A thousand things went right today – from the moment I woke up I thanked God for a new day, a new beginning, a new start, a new outlook on life. I can list a thousand things everyday, every second of the day, because each second in life is a blessing, each bird that flies pass you is a blessing, seeing the butterflies, hearing the buzzing of the bees, being able to walk, talk, touch, see, hear, smell, phone a friend, hear a loved persons voice, taste the coffee, dip the rusk, these are all things that happen to us on a daily basis and if we take them one by one we will be able to be thankful and grateful for so much more than a thousand things.
I am married to not only my lover, but my best friend, I have a miracle daughter (after being told I could not have children and subsequently lost 6 babies) and just hearing her voice, seeing her beautiful Angelic smile, I thank God everyday for this amazing wonderful miracle that is what my journey through life is all about. Our jobs (no matter how trying it is or how far we have to drive or how mean our boss is), our transport, our salaries, these are things that we are grateful for on a daily basis. A bed to sleep on, a blanket to keep us warm, electricity, a working stove, a fridge, tap water, food, cooldrink, hot water, TV, cellphones, shoes, clothes, slippers, gowns, pyjamas, there are so many people who do not have these things, I am eternally grateful and I do thank God everyday for all my blessings.
May 21, 2016 @ 2:01 pm
A thousand things went right today although my Fibromyalgia has not gone away.
It’s my painful partner for life but I will not surrender, and I live life for all its worth.
A life of pain offers no respite but you fight it with all your might.
You smile you laugh through the pain and then you do it all again.
Give in to despair and pain or stay strong and fight another day.
This is my daily battle of my will to make this Fibro beast be still.
May 21, 2016 @ 2:37 pm
A thousand things went right today; I’m a new mom again and I’m feeling blessed and I’m thankful for my bundle of joy.

A thousand things went right today!!!
Me and my girls got up very sad as we knew we had to drop daddy off at the airport to leave for work and we will only see him again in December. But we are thankful that he has a job and grateful and appreciate the sacrifices he has made to ensure we are blessed and short of nothing. We have a roof over our heads, a plate of food on our table and a car parked outside. We are thankful for daddy and although it’s sad having to watch him leave we know we are blessed and thankful for everything we have.
May 21, 2016 @ 4:20 pm
A thousand things went right today. I opened a wonderful gift this morning, MY BLESSED EYES to see and count all my blessing. I’m surrounded by LOVE who is my family and friends and WOMEN who inspire me daily!! Beating all the odds we might face we never quit being a woman and do what is required, LIVING A LIFE OF GRATITUDE AND HUMILITY IS KEY.
May 21, 2016 @ 6:12 pm

May 21, 2016 @ 6:38 pm
A thousand things went right today as I opened my eyes and started to pray, thanking God for a brand new day, my family, my life and every blessing He so graciously bestowed upon us. My wonderful family, my husband and three precious children. I am so thankful for everything God is doing in our lives. I am also very grateful for my amazing husband of almost 32 years. He is such an enormous blessing. He was there when I went through the deepest of depression and he is still there, every step of the way. He is and continues to be the most wonderful husband and father to our children. A thousand things went right today because I know God will never leave nor forsake us, He is there to lead and guide us. Our names are inscribed on the palm of His Hands, He loves us with an everlasting Love. A thousand things will go right each day if we remember to pray and thank God for our health including every blessing great and small.
God bless you 🙂

“A Thousand Things Went Right Today!” When I woke up besides a wonderful, loving and caring man, “my Husband, ” I smiled and realised how blessed I am to have such an amazing understanding, loving and caring husband. Wish all women are blessed with amazing husbands, as I am.
May 22, 2016 @ 1:04 pm
A thousand things went right today… today is the day I am thankful for what God gave me Pain – for me to become a stronger person. Sadness – for me to appreciate the spectrum of human emotions. . Fears – so I know my opportunities for growth. . Disappointment – so I know the things that matter to me the most. Tears – for helping me express my deepest emotions. My family – for being the closest kin in the world. My friends – for being your companions in life.
May 22, 2016 @ 6:22 pm
A thousand things went right with me today because I’m alive and healthy. I was in a bad car accident years ago and my legs and lower body were trapped and hurt. It took me months of recovery to be able to walk again. There was a time I was wheelchair bound and I thought I would never walk. Relying on others made me helpless and killed my self confidence. So happiness to me is the ability to walk and move on my own. Keeping up with my 3 year old son. Having him was a miracle indeed because of the pain I was in as my body stretched to accommodate him. Dreams I thought would never come true is my reality. Everyday I wakeup grateful. I love waking up healthy and comfortable with my body and self. Being the best version of myself always and being authentic to myself. There is only 1 of me so I’m being the best of me I can be!!! Life is what you make of it!!!♥
May 22, 2016 @ 7:32 pm
Awakening to a new day
A treasured gift
In every way
The fragrance of the morning air
The dew so crisp
Settling on my hair
The rays of sunlight
Through the trees
So gently break
As I feel the cool breeze
Filled with a sense of awe
I fall to my knees
Thank You Father
For another day of LIFE!
Hands-On (c)

We were laughing the whole weekend, worked together preparing food, What a great way to spend a weekend to have quality time together. I am happy that I am alive, can love my family and friends, have a house, car and a job. Food on the table and a nice bed to sleep in with a feather duvet in Winter time. I am thankful for all that and everything else.

May 25, 2016 @ 7:07 pm
A thousand things went right today, I am thankful for my husband because:
He is kind. He tells me that he sees it as his job to make me happy. For years I believed it was not really possible. However, I can honestly say after 19 years of wonderful marriage that I am happy and he has done it. God knew he would do the job properly!
May 25, 2016 @ 7:15 pm
A thousand things went right today. I’ve started to look at life differently. When you’re thanking God for every little thing – every meal, every time you wake up, every time you take a sip of water – you can’t help but be more thankful for life itself, for the unlikely and miraculous fact that you exist at all I am thankful to all the souls I meet in the journey of life.
May 25, 2016 @ 7:19 pm
A thousand things went right today. So grateful for the people who heard me when I was silent and saw me when I was invisible. My first thought in the morning, is thank you God for another day. If people begin to be more grateful, they will see the wonders of life. I am most thankful for what I don’t have, for had my life’s wish list been filled in the manner I had chosen I would be steeped in meaningless trinkets verses bathed in God’s treasures.
May 25, 2016 @ 7:27 pm
A thousand things went right today when I looked into my only grandchild’s eyes and realized how truly blessed we are of God’s miracles.
May 25, 2016 @ 7:34 pm
To all the women in the world, never ever forget you are worth a million….
May 25, 2016 @ 8:20 pm
A Thousand Things Went Right today, I was not born to hate but to Love, to Forgive, to Praise our God, to be Free, to Give and to Share.
May 25, 2016 @ 8:23 pm
I am thankful for the gift of life, family, and friends. The simple pleasure of waking up each day with my five lovely sons by my side is a treasure I will always cherish. Happy days spent with a loving family and faithful friends can never compare to any luxury the world can offer. Everyday is a new reason to be grateful for. I am just thankful I was given the opportunity to experience life and all its sweetness and sorrows combined which molds me into what God purposed me to be.

A thousand things went right today. I’m thankful for life itself, it’s fantastic how great human kind is, and nature itself its just the beauty of our planet. I live thankfully and gratefully with the world and with my parents and with God.

A thousand things went right today. I’m thankful to God for everything that I am and for blessing me with so much talent. I am thankful for my family, friends & relatives who have stood by me in good and trying times

A thousand things went right today I am thankful because I look for reasons to be thankful. Too many people don’t appreciate what they have, especially when they have plenty. I’ve been through difficult times when my mom was sick, and our family struggled to survive. Still, I was grateful that we were able to get through those times together. What I learned is that we should always appreciate our blessings, especially when we have few of them

A thousand things went right today. I am thankful for all of the opportunities I have been afforded. My family, my friends, my job, really when you think about what some people in this world are dealing with. There is so much that is taken for granted every day that it is nice to reflect and compare on what could be, if any one of us were forced to live without the freedoms we have come to expect. I am thankful that I am able to share the time off I have with loved ones and not in a line or lines fighting for the best deal on a TV at 5:30 in the morning. I am truly thankful that I get to enjoy each day that I am given.

A thousand things went right today I am thankful for my husband because:
He loves me even when I’m grouchy and afraid
He is brave enough to do the things that scare me!
He fears God
He always takes time to play with the children!
He has compassion for me!
He works even when he’s sick!
He lets me be weak and doesn’t boast of his strength.
He has a heart that’s willing to change when God challenges him!

A thousand things went right today I am thankful for all the hardships I’ve encountered in my life for they have brought me back home to my family and friends.
I am thankful for my strength for when times got hard I pulled myself together and saw light at the end of the tunnel.
I am thankful for being able to recognize that nothing in life is permanent and now I welcome change.
I am thankful to my friend who never gave up

A thousand things went right today
My gratitude flows endlessly for the countless blessings bestowed upon me. First and foremost, I am completely grateful for the good health my children and I walk with everyday. Without our health, life is extremely difficult, limiting our fullest capacity. Secondly, I am thankful for the roof over my head, the food on my table Lastly, I am grateful for the unconditional Love and the never ending mercy God has for me and all His children

A thousand things went right today, when a friend said she was clear of cancer. When someone you know and care for has such a terrible illness you are grateful for everything that surrounds you. The little things you didn’t see or appreciate become very important to your life. Life is beautiful, Life is a gift that we should be so thankful for. ❤️

Continued…..
So today I continue with my a thousand things went right today.
I woke up today with a mother of a headache because of my Hydrochepalus and feel I can’t get out of bed, but I took my pill to bring the pressure down and got up, that’s my first of a thousand things went right today.
I saw the concern in my husbands eyes and he comforted me and just knowing he is there every step of the way no matter what is my second of a thousand things went right today.
On a funnier note, we woke up without any running water this morning and hubby baths every morning and my mom washes her hair every morning but this morning they had to boil water in the kettle to do that, so at least they could still do that but not as they are used to doing every morning but in fact in the sink so there is my number 3 of a thousand things went right today, with lots of moaning and groaning they at least had some water to do what they had to and for us to brush our teeth and to have a cup of warm coffee on this cold morning.
Today at 10am I will be seeing my aunt that I haven’t seen in months, she is coming for a visit and I’m so excited about that and that’s my number 4 of a thousand things went right today
And last but not least I’m helping an elderly lady later today with her one bird (I have a huge love for animals + years of experience) as she doesn’t have money to take it to the vet to get the beak trimmed so I am doing it for her free of charge so that’s a good deed done for today, that’s my number 5 of a thousand things went right today.

A thousand things went right today. We are expecting our first granddaughter in less than two months. Very exited and truly blessed. Its cold, rainy and windy tonight. Grateful to have a warm bed and house to be in. May God take care of those less fortunate and make it easy on them. I’m thankful that my children and grandkids are happy, healthy and safe!

A thousand things went right today I woke up, I had a job to go to (A job that God called me to do aka working at church) and I’m grateful for that. I have food to eat and a roof over my head and a warm bed to sleep in tonight. I’m not healthy but I am alive and I’m thankful to have seen another day. I have been blessed with something I really needed to feel good about myself again, something I really can’t afford (a colour and cut for my hair) by an angel walking amongst us this is another thing in my life of a thousand things went right today. I was very down today because of a certain health issue and believe me when I say I have a lot, and a good friend talked some faith into me and gave me hope again (A thousand things went right today) I might not have everything I want but I sure have everything I need, family, friends, my beloved animals, a life, a roof over my head, food in my tummy, a bed to sleep in and angels looking out for me and blessing me. To most this might not seem like a lot but to me these are my thousand things that went right today.
Old fan of Women of Worth.
