What am I grateful for?

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.

And have a happy Thanksgiving.  :-)
