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 have 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.

This was amazing and so inspiring.
Thank you for sharing this with all the people who you care about, and who care about you.
If we all could stop stressing about STUFF, we would find PEACE so much easier.
Off to celebrate my birthday. This is new for me. I never celebrate or mention my birthday (and that’s hard when you grow up with a twin sister). But, I am putting new (and hopefully) more positive things into my life. This is one of them!!!!
