Our culture is one of complaints. It seems normal to complain and to listen to others do so; people with positive attitudes who express gratitude for the little things are often seen as self-righteous or even delusional. I fall into complaining mode much more easily and often than I like to admit.
Yet there is much to be thankful for, and when I stop to look beyond the bills, the illnesses and the challenges, and quiet the other complainers around me, I find that my life is rich beyond compare. Today I am thankful for:
Loving family
Parents who put in the time and effort to "raise me right"
Good and true friends
Skilled teachers
Great books
Cats and dogs and the vets that keep them healthy
My good health and the use of all of my limbs and senses
Car that runs
Challenging job, smart co-workers, fair boss
Sunshine
Netflix
Coffee
Computers
Faith
Happy Monday,
Cindi
