Just a General Feeling of Gratitude

Sometimes it is easy to forget what we have to be grateful for.

These days are hard.

There is no doubt. While we have made great strides to move forward in our society, it seems as though we are now taking giant leaps backward.

It doesn’t make sense, I know.

But I do know, that despite it all, we can still find joy, happiness, and gratitude within each one of us.

In fact, we must.

In these trying days, we can not let the dark take over the light. That is what is happening, you know? The darkness is trying, like REALLY trying, to bring us all to our knees. The evil of the world has risen up. But we can’t let them.

We can’t allow them to win.

Each one of us has the ability to turn our attention to the good stuff. The things that make us happy.

• If you watch the news and you get depressed, turn it off. Go for a walk, or watch a sunset. Find something to take your attention in a more positive direction.
• If your sister is calling and you don’t want to talk to her, don’t answer it. Continue playing your games on your iPad, or doing your jigsaw puzzle. You don’t have to subscribe to her annoyances.
