How grateful are you to be ungrateful?

Huh? Seems confusing doesn't it? But not really.

On April 8, 2010 I had a bad car accident. I was driving on a winding road and lost control. The whole time i knew what was going to happen next. Right before the car flipped, I thought "my car is about to flip." After the accident several spectators rushed to my rescue. My true guardian angels, I was truly GRATEFUL. For a matter of fact I praised GOD (in the damp grass) for saving me and for only minimal damages to my physical body.

My family was there by my side through the whole ordeal. While I was so GRATEFUL for them to be there for me- I was UNGRATEFUL for the grief and sadness that it brought upon their hearts. I was UNGRATEFUL for the weeks my 2 year old daughter Jailah would not let her mother hold/ touch her. I was very GRATEFUL that in due time her mother was well enough to embrace her.

During my trials I learned that it is ok to be UNGRATEFUL sometimes as long as you are GRATEFUL for all those UNGRATEFUL things. Tell me...How grateful are you to be ungrateful?
