Giving thanks is such an important part of our life. I don't think people realize the power of gratitude. There are times I wake in the middle of the night....toss around....wonder if I am going to get back to sleep....then I start to list the things I am grateful for.....before I know it I am waking in the morning, rested and ready for my new day. Gratitude is truly a fix all. When you find yourself looking at a situation and feeling some negative emotion....put the grateful factor to work....turn the situation. Turn it around. There may not be a reason for much of what happens to us....but there is a way to look at things, even if it is just plain acceptance....because some things just are....it is what it is. Acceptance, Gratitude.....it works.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone....
Gratitude has a way of calmiing a situation, you are so right. It is a work in progress applying the "act" of gratitude to our lives.
