being thankful for the little things

Greetings, so glad you are here. Today's focus is being thankful for the little things. In this new day of infinite opportunities, what are you thankful for? Being able to see a new day, waking up in a positive frame of mind, health and strength to endure another day, your family, your job or has pessimism obstructed your view? The list seems endless when we focus on the tangibles, yet how does one remain thankful when the vision isn't so clear? As intelligent as we are, we often need reminders to stimulate our awareness, because we become so disconnected from our blessings.

In order to be thankful, you have to know what you, personally, value and what meaning your life would have without such influences. The blessing is the gift. To live with appreciation and purpose is a personal choice, yet, when the opportunities are lost, regret can become the companion of many who have missed the moment to laugh, to cry, to love, and to live. Thus, the difficulty is only in your perception or the unwillingness to embrace the obvious, being thankful for the little things. Whatever your choices, celebrate life, for death offers very few rewards to recoup the things you have allowed to escape you!
