Reasons to be Thankful

Tweet

No, this isn't my thankful post. Too often I read people have no reason to be thankful and then give a reason why. I have a problem with that. So, here are some reasons you can be thankful every day. 1. You're alive and breathing. If you don't qualify for this, don't respond to the post. You really are having a bad day, unless, like me, it would be the best day of your life because you would be with your Savior. 2. You're sitting at your laptop, iPad, phone, desktop and reading this post and interacting with virtual friends. 3. The weather. Regardless of what it's doing outside, you're inside enjoying it or wishing it would stop raining and the sun would shine. You have something to be thankful about. 4. The fact that you can wish, dream, and think is something to be thankful for. 5. A place to live. You have the power necessary to operate your device and enjoy the amenities of your living space. i.e: food, a bed, utilities, and in many cases, neighbors. 6. A way to get from one place to another: your own car, friends, the transportation system, Uber, or your feet, bicycle, motor vehicle of some kind. 7. Ways to communicate with others: your phone - texting, talking, visiting friends via the above means. 8. Your body. You know it's problems better than anyone, and because you do, you can be thankful because you can live in your body every day and know how it will react in everyday situations. Face it, everyone has problems. As we age, they become more pronounced. Maybe you need a walker or wheelchair to get around. The fact is, you're doing it. 9. Your six senses. Everyone knows about the five main ones: hearing, seeing, touching, smelling, and tasting. Don't forget the sixth sense - common sense. Don't forget to use it every day. 10. Relationships. This could be the first and main one since everyone has at least one relationship with a spouse, significant other, or partner. You're never alone. Especially when your relationship is with God. Okay, those are ten starting points for something to be thankful for. I'm sure among those you can find something to be thankful for every day. Thanks for reading. The image belongs to me. There's a train track along the trail. I rarely see the train. I did a couple of days ago.
