“Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.” Robert Brault

This is the time of year that people usually try to count their blessings. But 2016 has been a hard year for a lot of people. Of course, people are thankful, but people are overwhelmed. There has been a lot of negativity and pain. So, since being grateful can make you happier, I’ll practice some gratitude with 10 Days Of Giving Thanks.

Day #1
I’m thankful for the love of my family and friends.

I’m thankful for those who are always hoping that I’ll succeed and achieve in all that I do, for those rooting for me and who are excited with me about my successes. I appreciate all the family and friends that support me, believe in me and believe I’m trying my best, despite my shortcomings and weaknesses.

And I’m thankful that I have four kids who give me unconditional love, don’t care if I sing out-of-tune, and always notice when I’m dressed up to leave the house. They have taught me to appreciate when the house gets clean, even if it’s only for 5 minutes, being able to sleep through the night, and especially to appreciate the occasional quiet when they’re getting along.
