Thankfully I am beginning to have more times during the day where I feel almost human so I am hopeful that we are on a uphill side of things. I have been humbled recently with the amount of inquiries about my health that I have received these past few weeks. Humbled and thankful for the prayers.
Earlier today I was on Facebook and was astounded by all the negative comments and just plain displays of grouchiness on display from some of my facebook contacts. As usual, this got me thinking...
As I did last year, I am doing the 30 days of Thankfulness, thinking of at least one thing each day that I am thankful for. Some people may think doing this is "lame" or whatnot, but honestly, sometimes we need to be reminded to think of something each day that we are thankful for. Otherwise we can easily be wrapped up in our own pity party and forget how blessed we are. I love writing these each day and I love reading what others find to be thankful.
Reflecting on this thought, it hit me: I am happy. I have a wonderful and blessed life. Yes, lately things have been hard on me and my family because of my physical limitations, but that hasn't changed anything. I have a wonderful family, wonderful friends, a lovely home, and food on the table. What more could I possible want?
It's easy to let our day to day burdens drag us down. But just think how much happier we would be if forced ourselves to be thankful for our blessings each and every day. Let's band together, stop the negativity, and be a beacon of light and goodness for the world to see.
