    Default Seeing things differently.

    I read a news story last night that made me take a look at
    myself and the amount of complaining I do sometimes. I
    complain about the cold weather. I complain about my job.
    I complain because some presents I wanted to order were
    sold out. After reading this story, I think I will find a lot
    less to complain about. I am seeing things differently this
    morning. This story had a profound effect on me:

    This morning I am thankful to have my job. Without it, I
    wouldn't be able to complain about the sold out presents,
    because I wouldn't have been Christmas shopping. Just
    feeling very humbled today because of this little boy.
    You have succeeded in life when all you really want is only what you really need.

    Some times we are never thankful for the things we have until they are gone.I know i have so much to be thankful for but some days i moan grown and complain when i should be counting my blessings and thanking God for them all.

    We ALL really have a lot to be thankful for.........then that 'human nature' thing kicks in!!
