Be thankful for what you have;
you'll end up having more.
If you concentrate on what you don't have,
you will never, ever have enough.
I saw this on Pinterest a while back & it stuck with me. My Rockstar husband and I were in the car today talking about our crap luck lately but we decided we're not going to say that anymore. We've felt like there's a cloud hanging over us for so long - I'm starting to think WE'RE keeping that cloud over us. It's not that changing our thinking will change what happens to us, but it will absolutely change how we deal with things. We have unfortunate things happen to us at inconvenient times but at the end of the day - we have absolutely nothing to complain about.
We are happy and in love. We are healthy. No one close to us is very sick right now. All 4 of our parents are alive & well (knock on wood). We are constantly surrounded by family & friends who love us. Our calender is choc-full of b-day parties, weddings, holiday parties - all happy memories to be made. We have recently made our dream come true by becoming homeowners. We have a roof over our heads, full bellies, and a warm bed to sleep in. I have faith & hope that I will soon find a job and we'll be back on track.
And really... what else could you possibly ask out of life right now??
Here's wishing every one of you a very Happy Thanksgiving!!

Well said. My friend is a nurse and reminds me all the time of the perspective she gets on her shifts from the patients on her floor. It makes a difference to change your thinking!
