It's, sometimes, easy, to lose sight of the things, in our lives, that we, ideally, would give thanks for, yet, tend to take for granted, instead. Some folks, are hard-pressed, when asked, to come up with anything that they feel gratitude over. Heck, if you're reading this, there ya go...you're here, your ALIVE, and, that's a 'BIGGIE'. I can't speak for others, but, this a thing I give thanks for, each and every day. Another, item of import, on my, personal, list of gifts to be thankful for, are the 'moments' we experience, as, each one offers us an opportunity to make a 'change for the better', and, alter a life in ways which will carry over, as a positive, 'ripple-effect' for years, to come. Giving and receiving LOVE is another way, in which we are Blessed; affection...a true, gift, to appreciate. When we accomplish tasks, or, attain achievements, no matter how big or small, these are things, too, which we can feel gratitude over. If we are faith-filled folk, our faith serves as an anchor for our soul. We can be thankful that we have the power to believe and guide our life based on that which we hold near and deeply true. So, whenever you might find yourself 'down and out', imagining that there's nothing in your life for which to feel grateful, think again... there IS! Just Sayin'..
