Thankful

I've decided its time to start updating again, on my life, my spiritual growth, and my thoughts in general. I post mostly what I feel, think and perhaps its not for everyone, yet if I can touch someone to let them know they are not alone, that they are loved, that they are someone that is of importance, if it will help that person to move forward, then it will be worth it.

Our life is too short here and we should take a look at what we do. Not just our jobs, but at all the little things that comprise an ordinary day. How we wake up and respond to the world, to our family, our house, our animals, to our environment.

Be thankful for what you have and are able to do. Most of us have lives that are so generous in so many ways, yet we find ways to make it seem as if we don't have much at all, causing us to fall into a a spiral that entraps us into negative everything, resentment and jealousy of what others have. I, myself have fallen into this, but I have learned that it is so unhealthy for me.

I have worked very hard to not let myself into this trap anymore, and am very thankful for what I do have. I addition to our animals, a house over my head, a job,transportation, I realize that my life could really be bad.

Look around you, look at what you think is wrong,and then look at what is good, right, wonderful in your life. Look for one thing a day, and then increase it to a little more.

I can get up and walk, talk, see, smell, cook, clean, play with my dogs, smile at the fact that I have another day to contribute to someone.

God is good to me, this generosity is amazing that He gives me, I am thankful.
