Happy Thanksgiving!

This weekend, we celebrate Thanksgiving. 
How often do we really stop and think about things we are thankful for?
I find I get so busy, that my thoughts seem to be on what I am busy at, 
and all the things that are not right in my life.

But....when I pause to think of all the good in my life....
It's amazing how my attitude can change !



We have no right to ask when sorrow comes, 
"Why did this happen to me?"
 unless we ask the same question 
for every moment of happiness that comes our way.

    Flora I used to write in a gratitude journal every night. I would write down a minimum of 3 things I was grateful for in my day and they had to be different, it couldn't be the same thing every day. I got into the habit of living in gratitude, even when things aren't going so great I can find something to be grateful for and what a wonderful way to live. It's hard to be upset when you live with an attitude of gratitude!

    Happy Thanksgiving, I like your photos.

    Had not heard that quote before, but it is absolutely spot-on. That needs to be on a billboard somewhere...

    Happy Thanksgiving

    Gratitude is often overlooked, but essential. I used to keep a gratitude journal like Darlin mentioned but gradually got out of the habit. I need to start it again.
