“If you haven’t all the things you want, be
grateful for the things you don’t have that you wouldn't want."
As you sit at your
computer reading these words, you probably have a lot to be grateful and
appreciative for.
You have access to the
world’s information at your fingertips and more knowledge than any king or wise
man in history at your disposal! However, it’s easy to take our lives for
granted and focus on things we don’t have!
As a group, we humans have a tendency to always want more…and often we
only realize what we had once it’s gone.
Learning to be thankful
and expressing gratitude is an important part of being happy! Being thankful gives us an
appreciation for what we have. Even when
you don’t feel like you have much to be thankful for, realize that there’s
someone out there in this world of 6 billion people who would look at your life
and trade places with you in a heartbeat!

each of you, I’m grateful for your friendship and I wish for you much happiness
