Joe, that's so true.
We were remarking how ungrateful we are in this country. We have a few leaks in our house and we moan and complain, never thinking how much worse things can get.

Yes, there are alot of things to be thankful for.
Just watching the news and seeing the people of New Orleans makes you realize your blessings and recognize people who actually have problems!!

That's true Ginnie.
Keeping positive thoughts and making such a list does help put things in perspective, which we all need when we start feeling sorry for ourselves.

HG, I gotta agree with you there.
For all the fact that I am upbeat most of the time, I do get depressed if I think too much. I bypass the good things and reflect on all that's going wrong. I get past this because I believe in God and find comfort in talking to Him as well as bringing to mind all that's good about life in spite of the struggles.

Word,
I agree with HolyG. It's always good to make a list like this now and then. Helps us remember and appreciate the things we do have rather than focus on the things we don't.

I think it's very healthy to take the time to do this once in awhile. People like me tend to get caught up swelling in the negatives aspects of our lives. Usually there are more positives and it's good to stop and take a look so we can appreciate them.
