Gratitude

Sometimes we go through the day thinking that everything is going wrong. If we keep thinking that way, it will. If we stop for just a moment and think of what we have to be grateful for today, you can change a bad day into a good one.

I am grateful today for being clean and sober, because it gives me the opportunity to do just what I am doing; working and exploring on my computer. I have all my limbs, my eyes (even though I can't see very well up close) and good health. My family is safe and not going hungry and have a place to live.

The following is a poem I found while exploring other sites, and it has some good thoughts. I hope you like it.

Good day to all

The Milkman

BE THANKFUL
Be thankful that you don't already have everything you desire,
If you did, what would there be to look forward to?
Be thankful when you don't know something
For it gives you the opportunity to learn.
Be thankful for the difficult times.
During those times you grow.
Be thankful for your limitations
Because they give you opportunities for improvement.
Be thankful for each new challenge
Because it will build your strength and character.
Be thankful for your mistakes
They will teach you valuable lessons.
Be thankful when you're tired and weary
Because it means you've made a difference.
It is easy to be thankful for the good things.
A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who are
also thankful for the setbacks.

GRATITUDE can turn a negative into a positive.
Find a way to be thankful for your troubles and they
can become your blessings.
