I am trying to keep an attitude of gratitude. I know there is a lot going on in the world. It is easy to get overwhelmed. Especially at this time of year, there is so much to do.
We must not forget to be thankful for what we have, all around the year. Imagine not having anything. Some people do not have a warm home to be in or a hot meal or money to buy what they need.
I am grateful that I have a job and money in the back. I am grateful that I have food to eat. I am thankful that I have a family to help me get through the hard times.
Being alive is something to be grateful for. I try not to fall into the whoa is me attitude. My kids can pick up on that negativity. We can all forget to be grateful for what we have at times. It is a challenge to keep a running list every day of things that we are grateful for. The benefits are astounding.
