An Attitude of Gratitude
In the U.S. our holiday season begins with Thanksgiving. It's a time when I realise I've not been as grateful as I could be. And so, in remedy of this, I offer my appreciation of all the blessings I am fortunate to count as mine.
I am grateful for…
Good and constant friends. I have more of them than I deserve.
My family, these wonderful people with whom I am blessed to associate every day of my life.
A home to shelter me, no matter how humble.
My many, many, (too many?) non-human friends. (Hey, they're never contrary and don't argue. That counts for a lot.)
My beautiful children. What amazing people they are!
A little bit of romance, without which, my life would seem very dreary.
o
Music to lighten my heart.
Different cultures to educate me.
Different ideas to challenge me.
Trials to strengthen me.
And the beauty that is all around me, reminding me how good life truly is.
And most of all…a loving Heavenly Father who gives me all, even if it's not quite just when I want it.
Happy Thanksgiving.
