Too many times we complain about all that ails us and so do the folks around us. At least here in this town they do. Everyone complains about everything. So I've decided to be positive and spend more time thinking about the good things in life. I for one am very grateful for my wonderful family, my sexy husband and our healthy smart kids. We have good friends and never have to go hungry. I have two exhibits up right now and last month sold a painting. Spring is on it's way and the flowers are blooming. All is right with the world. What are you grateful for?

I'm grateful for my ability to be positive and start each day fresh....even though I've had family stress in my life through the years. I'm grateful that I usually think laughter can get me through most situations. I'm grateful that I have a wonderful boyfriend who loves me very much!!! I'm grateful to love him back so completely. I'm grateful that I have a beautiful place to live, yummy food to eat and a comfy bed. I'm grateful that I have a job that is diverse and brings me much joy (usually at least!) I'm grateful for music, for music expresses the feelings I feel.....better than I can express myself sometimes. I'm sure there are many, many more things I am grateful for.....I may be back ;)

You're right! All to often we complain, complain and complain some more. I need to be looking at the good things in my life as well. I am grateful for my husband of 11 years. No one has ever treated me as well as he has. He spoils me. Then there's my daughter from my first marriage, she is a wonderful daughter. She lives 2 hours away and talk to each other almost everyday. Either she calls me or I call her. I'm grateful that the Lord has always helped me to have a home, food, and clothes. And the means to have them. And, as you say, spring is right on us. Daffodils are breaking through and soon will be blooming. You know, a smile infectious!
