I truly believe lasting happiness comes from being grateful for everything you already have...even the things that are tough to deal with bring with them gifts, if you look long enough.
I know my biggest pain has provided also my biggest blessings and I share the following to extend the Thanksgiving Spirit at least another week! ;-)
BE THANKFUL By Author Unknown
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's 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.
~I'm very thankful to my friend Jan for her love and support and for sharing this with us...Happy Thanksgiving!
