Well as I was doing the email tonight for Zaney Clicks I went searching for some Thanksgiving quotes and it’s amazing how things work out and you find things that YOU need – another one of those miracles that most don’t talk about.
As most of you know and have been putting up with my pile of screw ups on the sites lately and yes there is a reason – you see I lost focus on what I should be thankful for and got wrapped up in what life was dishing out for me instead of trusting God.
Running across this poem sure put things in perspective for me and thought I would share with all of you…
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.

So everyone no matter what life dishes out to you if you look hard enough you will find those things to be thankful for and I’m one of the lucky ones as I have many of them and they are YOU all the wonderful people that I have met since my journey online and you all don’t even realize how much you have helped me – so just wanted to write this and say THANK YOU
Thanks for sharing this poem with us, Nancy. You had the same idea as me. This is such a great piece, we gotta share it with the world 🙂
Oh thanks Xarah and I see the author was unknown but I tell you the timing of me finding that was just awesome
Thank you Nancy for sharing that poem.We all needed it today.God Bless America and everyone today!
Oh Don the timing was just so uplifting for me and I know I really needed it 🙂
Many Blessing come to us in disguise and if we don’t watch for them with an open mind they will be missed.
Life provides us with challenges every day, it’s how we deal with them that makes the differences.
Great post Nancy. You are a definite inspiration to your circle of influence. I have learned a lot working with you over the last few years. Thank You for being a Great Leader and Friend.
Many Blessings to you and your Family. Happy Thanksgiving!
You are so right Randy and I so forgot what life can teach you and I sure lost my focus on staying positive
Hope that you have awesome Thanksgiving
