Greet Each Day with an Attitude of Gratitude

Those of us who live in a country free from the ravages of war, spared
from natural disasters like typhoon earthquakes, tsunami or flooding-
we have so much to be thankful for. The economic downturn presents
obstacles of a different nature.

It is difficult to imagine what it's like to see your world turned upside
down, inside out from disasters. I lived through the Icestorm of 1998,
I know the devastation flood can do first hand, grieve through the loss
of l0ved ones, see a business endeavour almost drive me to bankruptcy,
but here I am .

Pain and sorrow touch everyone who passes through this Earth.
Disappointment and regrets visit us now and then. We stumble and
fall. This spares no one, money can not buy happiness. I suppose by
now, more people accept that this is really a fact of life.

Start and end your day with gratitude- the sun does not always shine, but
sooner or later, it will. Life presents us with nuggets of wisdom, if we stop
long enough to pay attention.

Count your blessings each day- surely there is something to be thankful for.
