At this point in my life, I have come to realize that every day I have a choice. I can look at the cup as half full or half empty. Its always the same cup, although the contents change and shift with the seasons. I can choose to be thankful for the good things or I can choose to worry and obsess over the things I perceive as bad. Because sometimes they really arent as bad as I make them out to be. I dont always get it right. There are days that I find myself picking apart and focusing solely on whats bad because I think I can somehow control it that way. Also, we can forget how good we have it because, when we stack it up in comparison to someone else, it seems like they have it better than we do. But as I get some distance from the bad things that HAVE happened in my life, I see that those things serve as a contrast to help me grasp just how good I have it. I have food in my cabinets, a car that gets me where I need to go, a roof over my head, a job that I enjoy, and friends and family who love me in spite of my faults. Thats just for starters. If we can take one day to truly count our blessings, to see that cup as half full, to thank God for all we have, to make a commitment to be happy with what we have NOW - let today be that day. Happy Thanksgiving to you all!
