THINGS TO BE GRATEFUL FOR IN LIFE........

“We often take for granted the very things that most deserve our gratitude.” ~Cynthia Ozick

Sometimes it's easy to feel bad because you're going through a rough time, but I have learnt that really my life is good in comparison to what a lot of other people are going through,  I have learnt to look around me and you will always find lots of things to be really grateful for in this life.....

 
I make it a rule in my life now to be thankful for all that I have to show gratitude and kindness where I can.  It means that when I live my life like this,  I find JOY... a peace of mind and heart and a feeling of thankful to God for all the blessings in my life....
