I am thankful for...

So, I know that there are a bunch of other things I need to post about, most importantly being Michelle's baptism, but today I had something different I want to write about.
I keep hearing the question, "What are you most thankful for?" and I have figured out my answer.
I am most thankful for being thankful. Odd huh? I am grateful that I have the ability to see the world around me and know where it came from, to recognize the Lord's tender mercies, the little miracles that happen everyday. I am grateful that when I see my family I know they are a gift from God that I can be thankful for.
I make a conscience effort to be grateful, life is so much better that way. The harder things get, the more grateful I need to be and when I realize that and look at situations with grateful eyes, things are easier to handle.
I have much to be grateful for! Living life focusing on gratitude is an amazing adventure that everyone should try. I highly recommend it!!
So, on this great day of thanks giving (as a verb) I ask, what are you most thankful for?

It is SO important to be thankful for what we have and to recognize the blessings. I'm most thankful for loving family (immediate and extended). That it truly a blessing.
=) Happy Thanksgiving!!!
