What are you grateful for?

We often take things for granted and seldom stop to reflect on what we have to be grateful for.  We live in a world where we constantly look at what we don’t have, have not achieved, and have yet to go or do.  Perhaps we should look back on what we have accomplished so far, the storms we have weathered and the places we have been; not so much as what we have not done, but what has been done on our life list.  When we refuse to lament the mistakes of the past, we can then appreciate our moment in time in our present.  The idea that maybe a few years ago you dreamed about owning a car; we now own one; may not be what we want, but we have transportation now.  Something to be grateful for.  

We may not own our dream home, but we are not homeless; and that’s something to be grateful for.  We may not eat at the finest eating establishments, but just the other day we were saying how we need to go on a diet; something to be grateful for.  It is easy to find reasons to complain, and it takes more muscles to frown than smile.   Why not use the economy of muscles and smile as we look at the birds in the air.  We have sight and can see the majestic birds as they are lifted in the air.   Our complaints can lift us higher and spur us to greatness.   We feel the wind on our face.  That means the sensation of touch is still active in our lives, so we can breathe life and touch someone else’s life with a kind word or gesture.   There are so many things to be grateful for; if nothing else, you no longer think defeat and now proclaim victory over every facet of your life.   There is one thing about scars we often forget; the time of the injury hurt, and may mar our flesh, but we survived, and if we survived once, we can again; something to be grateful for.  Look over your life and don’t spend time lamenting, connect with me and  let's put your list of grateful  ways to move forward
