What am I grateful for?
grateful, gratitude, Thanksgiving
Today the Thanksgiving holiday is being celebrated here in the United States.
Whether you participate in this holiday or not, it’s a perfect time to deliberately and consciously consider the things you have to be grateful for.
We all have our own troubles, problems, and issues. Nothing is perfect; nor will it ever be. But everyone has things to be grateful for! So today let’s focus on the positive.
Seriously. Stop and take just 5 minutes right now to think about all of the good things you have in life.
I’ll share with you some of the things I am grateful for. (Maybe it will help inspire you if you’re having difficulty getting started.)
- Good health.
- Having plenty of good, clean food to eat, and never having to know what true hunger is like.
- A home to shelter me from the elements.
- Having a relatively care-free life (compared to many less fortunate people around the earth).
- Two caring parents who looked after me while I was most vulnerable, did their best, and helped shape the person I am today.
- Good, close friends and a loving family.
- All of the opportunities that have been available to me throughout my life, and the inspiring people I have met along the way.
- Being alive! And being witness to all the amazing splendor of the universe.
What are YOU grateful for? Share your thoughts with me by leaving a comment below.
And have a happy Thanksgiving.

I am thankful that a house sold recently, that had been on the market for 15 months. I am thankful for my son and daughter, who inspire me to be a better person. I am thankful for my grandson, who calls me and tells me what’s going on in his life, and that he misses me and loves me. I am thankful for my job, which makes my life less stressful, financially.

Chuck,
I’d say that I am greatful for you. When I received your e-mail today, it seemed like a friend sharing his thoughts.
Thank you
