How to Be Thankful Even When You Don't Feel Like It!

How to Be Thankful Even When You Don't Feel Like It!

One morning I was taking my son and his friend to school and I know it was early and a lot of people HATE the morning, but I was amazed at this kids’ attitude. He was all negative and depressed and acting all down…So my son says, “What’s wrong with you?” And there’s just this low groan that comes from the back seat…And that got me going! Now I’m not one of these overly positive people or anything like that, but I’m learning how important it is to live THANKFUL lives! It changes my whole attitude when I choose to be grateful and live thankfully…


And just like I told this kid that morning, we have SO MUCH to be thankful for! He was able to wake up in a house with a roof over his head. He got to eat breakfast that morning. I don’t think HE agreed with me on this one, but he even got to go to SCHOOL and learn and expand his mind. Tons of kids all over the world never get that opportunity!

Look at this: My fingers and toes all work. I can breathe and exercise and move around. There is so much to be thankful for! Even this incredible country we live in…hey, I know it’s not perfect, but do you know we’re living in the freest country in the history of the world? We’re free to express ourselves and do whatever we want with our lives…it’s incredible!

So instead of walking around all negative and allowing that to effect your entire outlook on life, why not choose to live thankfully today? Just give it a try! It’s infectious! It will change you from the inside out!
