Be Thankful

I was reminded today of something from days past and I felt very sad that I was the only one who was thankful for what we have now.

I am reminded of the days that we were unemployed, living in an apartment on unemployment, trying to figure out how to put food in the house and pay our bills. How we would sit and wish for things we didn’t have but as soon as we could, we would make those wishes reality:

1) to wish we could afford new vehicles (the old ones were on their last legs and we were piecing them back together constantly).

2) to wish us out of an apartment and for a nice house with a yard.

3) to wish for a really good jobs (one that has benefits & retirement).

4) to wish for a little extra to put into our saving accounts.

A lot has changed for us over the last few years. We truly have accomplished 3 out of the 4 things on our list but I still have to gently remind my other half that we have come a long way from where we were and to be thankful for what he has because it can all be taken away at the blink of an eye. Life is so short and we just never know how long we will be here so enjoy the life you have and be thankful for all that you have!

Todays Inspiration

This was sent to me today from a friend. This was very much-needed because I was having a not so good week and I am looking for some inspiration to make it through to the weekend…

Find something to be thankful for each and every day…..

I hope that you all have a blessed day!

Gratitude

I found some great inspirational pics on gratitude and thought I would share with you all!

I am still adding little pieces of paper, each and every day to my gratitude jar. How many of you are still doing a gratitude jar? I thought that this little gratitude jar was going to be easy, and when you have to sit down and put your thoughts into words on what you are grateful for, I think it is getting harder for me, because I am trying to not duplicate something that I have already written down and put into the jar.

Most of us start with our spouses, girlfriends, boyfriends, children, moms, dads, sisters, brothers, extended family, friends, then move on to other things. everyone’s journey in this life is different. Some people have pets that are their family. Some people are grateful for their jobs, especially if they have been unemployed and just recently employed. Some people are grateful for their faith. I hope that you all have found your reasons to be grateful and take a moment to look at these great pics that I found. Have an amazing day!
