Be Thankful

When you have bills up to the ceiling, bill collectors calling on your telephone, angry letters demanding payment, a thankless job that you don't get paid enough to do and times just seem hard it can seem hard to be thankful for the things you have.

Look around yourself and count what you do have. If you have a roof over your head, food on your table and a place to lay your head - that's a start. Expand your list towards people that love you in your life, your family and friends. Consider who you can count on and who always has your back.

You have possessions that mean things, you have sentimental photos and more. If you have a pet in your life - you're truly wealthy - no one will love you more unconditionally than you're animal companion.

Think about your education, your job if you're employed.; Think of the jobs you've had and what you've learned from working. Even if the job ended on a sour note - you still took away at least one valuable lesson from the experience. Expand that to consider the roughest times of your life - no matter how bad it was - you got through it and came out stronger.

And the biggest of all, consider that the Divine always watches over you and remember no matter how you feel about life - you are loved.
