Once you learn to appreciate everything in your life, happiness follows.  I have read enough self help books and listened to many CDs  on the matter and they generally preach the same thing.  It is no secret.  Focusing on all the gifts in your life will put you in the best state of mind.

During these tough economic times, everyone worries about money and how they are going to pay their bills.  Really that is not a big deal. We all figure it out somehow.  And if we dont’ the worse that can happen is some of the bills don’t get paid on time.  So why worry about it?

I won’t deny it, I have an excellent life but most of that comes about my perception of what I have.  I think most people have more than they realize.

I am thankful I am healthy.

I am thankful for my wife of over 20 years and the great relationship we have it.

I am thankful we have delicious food to eat everyday.

I am thankful for the coffee we share together everyday.

I am thankful for the roof over our heads.

I am thankful for the economical car that we have.

I am thankful to be able to enjoy my life another day.

Everyday I take time out to recognize what I have to be grateful for.  Simply known as counting my blessings.  I am sure we all do it but being consistent and meaning it is the most important thing about gratitude.

I have learned to love everything in my life and not take it for granted. So be happy today because tomorrow is not promised.

Cheers!
