2017 blessings reminder

I saw this posted before on FB but I am going to think about doing it this year. Sometimes it is too easy to forget all the good in life because one gets caught up in negativity and/or feeling sorry for yourself. A little reminder of our blessings here and there is a very good thing!

Reprinted from my FB:

Borrowing from a friend...

Saw this and thought "How awesome!" Jar the memory of something good that happens to you everyday of the year! 

They won't be in order December 31st but they will still be awesome to recount. 

Happy New Year!

Be Thankful...

Be thankful that you don't already have everything you desire.

If you did, what would there be to look forward to?

Be thankful when you don't know something,

for it gives you the opportunity to learn.

Be thankful for the difficult times.

During those times you grow.

Be thankful for your limitations,

because they give you opportunities for improvement.

Be thankful for each new challenge,

because it will build your strength and character.

Be thankful for your mistakes.

They will teach you valuable lessons.

Be thankful when you're tired and weary,

because it means you've made a difference.

It's easy to be thankful for the good things.

A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who

are also thankful for the setbacks.

Gratitude can turn a negative into a positive.

Find a way to be thankful for your troubles,

and they can become your blessings.
