#BeGrateful... being thankful we remember our many blessings:...

Usually...when we talk about being thankful we remember our many blessings: our family, friends, jobs and all the other things that make up our world. Although this is normal , real gratitude stems from the total understanding of the gift of life, of simply being alive in spite of and regardless of circumstances. If we are going to be grateful only when things are going our way, what happens when life takes away from us .. those things that we are accustomed to having and those people we love so dearly?
Do we stop being grateful? This is not true gratitude, it is selective gratitude. Let us be thankful for every breath we are given and for every ounce of the precious life force that flows through us constantly; I know sometimes its difficult to accept some of the circumstances that  might be going on in our lives... but, let us be grateful no matter what comes our way.
