I Appreciate My Life & Health More...

good deal... Im more healthy now than I was a few months bad. Glad for that. Also more happy now as my son is here with me. Im glad you are doing so well there as well. Have a super weekend my dear.

Which one? There is just a list.

I like how you phrase it.. "I appreciate my life and health MORE". This means that you were already grateful of what you have until you read that article. Sometimes I feel bad when people only get to appreciate things when they see worse. They compare themselves to others which had it worse, then that makes them feel better. I am not really totally against that. Sometimes we really need some eye-opener to see what we really have and be grateful that we have. What if it is too late to appreciate what they have because they already lost it? I hope people will be more grateful with their lives even if it is not better than others. We can't always compare our lives to others, just to affirm that we are having a blast with our lives. Regardless of what others have, we should be thankful.

What a heartbreaking read this was. He certainly has overcome many obsticles in his life. I feel so bad for anyone losing their home regardless of whether or not they have a handicap. The fact that he is handicapped tells me that he is probably going to recieve help much quicker and easier than a non handicapped person. I wish I could help but I live in low income housing on wages that barely allow me to get by and surely not enough to help out someone else financially. The thing that I really have trouble with a situation like this is that he is using his handicap as a means to solicit help to save his home. A non handicapped person would not have such help or sympathy from the public. Also what if everyone helps him with his mortgage etc. When does it end?? Is he going to have more money next month to support himself? As for being grateful for my health, anytime I see a person that is struggling with any sort of illness or handicap, it does make me feel grateful.

Hi, LovingMyBabies! I have just read the link and I feel so sad about the man. It seems like he is full of life from the way he described his situation but he is just out of resources. I hope he will receive enough for his needs. I am more grateful of my life....there is no absolutely room for complaints.

I feel the same way cuz we are lucky to be a normal person and have chances to make things become reality.So being grateful is a must we should all posess.Good for you and good for everything that we gonna go through in life.I appreciate the article.

you are so right! we whine and complain about this or that but often fail to remember that there are people that much worse off than we are. it is good to get a little reminder once in awhile. thanks!

There are always those who have it worse then we do....we just have to remember to appreciate what we do have!

Link said it was flagged for removal . I think reading inspirational stories are articles brings us back down to the ground. Makes us get it real. Wish it was still available to read. It sounded like something that a person could benefit from.

Sometimes, we get so lost in our own misery that we overlook others who are going through far worse situations. I'm guilty of this. I read the story, and it is a great reminder that not all our troubles are the absolute worse. There are still a few things that we could be grateful for. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for this, it made me feel very grateful today for what I have. Thanks.

That is sad, as I kept reading and thinking oy when will it stop. Hopefully and key that his health improves. Maybe selling his place, and moving into a group home for the time being would help, I am sure the streess isn't helping.

OMG, this is a good read. I am going to share this with my younger siblings just so they can understand the value of hard earned money and how they should not take their good health for granted. Right now, their only problems are their braces setting their teeth to grow properly and sometimes they will feel so lazy going to their appointments. My husband and I are paying for everything, all they have to do is show up. Don't get me wrong, they are good kids but they also need a few tweaks here and there so they will not grow up to such spoiled brats. I will also include him in my prayers and I will see if I can send some little help from my side of the planet. Thank goodness he is still doing okay and most especially, he's got this fighter attitude going on for him. I wish him all the best luck and my prayers are with him.

Hello there ! That is really our nature as human being , we keep on complaining with life's little discomfort that is given to us then forgetting the so many blessings that God had given. Instead of counting blessings we keep on counting failures in life. A very negative thing , we must be grateful of whatever we have , still though in middle of a hard up life we are fortunate compared to others who wishes for an extension of life . Whatever is in the plate , we must know how to appreciate it and stop looking for what is not there , as simple as that !
