In honor of Thanksgiving…..

I believe Thanksgiving is much like Valentine’s day.  Why only one day do we need to reflect on being thankful?  Being thankful should be a lifestyle.  What a great gift to pass on to your future generations (did I mention it’s free?)!  In our house we aren’t rich and life hasn’t always been smooth, however, we are always thankful for what we DO have.  Because of this, my children are some of the most giving children I know (I’m not just bragging I promise).  There is always someone in a worse position!

You may have a tough pregnancy (Oh, can I tell you about that), you may be struggling to get pregnant, or you may  have a sick child.  There is always something to be thankful for.  You will find when you start with the little things (yes, as simple as a dry, warm house), the bigger things come to mind.  Your attitude and heart are changed.

I dare you to ponder those things you are thankful for with a scowl on your face.  Can you do it?  I thought not:)  Go, pass on the attitude of gratitude to those around you, especially that one person who always irks you.
