Be Thankful

Be thankful that you don't already have everything you desire,
If you did, what would there be to look forward to?

Be thankful when you don't know something
For it gives you the opportunity to learn.

Be thankful for the difficult times.
During those times you grow.

Be thankful for your limitations
Because they give you opportunities for improvement.

Be thankful for each new challenge
Because it will build your strength and character.

Be thankful for your mistakes
They will teach you valuable lessons.

Be thankful when you're tired and weary
Because it means you've made a difference.

It is easy to be thankful for the good things.
A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who are
also thankful for the setbacks.

GRATITUDE can turn a negative into a positive.
Find a way to be thankful for your troubles
and they can become your blessings.

Thankful for the women in my life who take the time to mentor me.

Hello, everyone! Just don't know where the time went again. Yesterday was lost with DD coming over with the girls and doing the baby shower invitations for other DD. Older granddaughter looked feverish to me and sure enough she is sick and she needed some extra attention yesterday.


Today was busy busy with errands and things I did not get done yesterday. I had to get the business stuff set up, pay bills, etc. I am glad that is off my mind for now.


I am freezing and I guess I should be thankful I have enough clothes to keep putting layers on. Just can't warm up after my haircut. I dyed it at home so my head was wet a long time. I ended up putting plastic wrap on my head to help keep me warm. Don't think it worked!


I am off my eating plan today and don't know what the heck is the matter with me. Just can't get both exercise and eating right on the same day. I didn't even do any journaling with the confusion here the past two days. What a way to start 2008! Ok another day tomorrow and I can pull this out if I try.


Thankful for you guys for being here to listen and to help me get my act together.
