Why do all my neighbours have bigger houses, nicer cars, blah, blah, blah? I’ve just read your post, given myself a big kick and feel so much better.

It is a times when we think life sucks that we should open our eyes and look around us. <br />A very well written and touching article. I will think of ten things to be thankful for tonight. Very good advice for us all.<br />Ciao,<br />PatriciaPat Garciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04204650731843984192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6590699484148529190.post-34142811928180029322012-03-26T02:35:43.497-04:002012-03-26T02:35:43.497-04:00I needed that what-up call today.

An attitude of gratitude paves the road to victory over disappointment, depression, frustration, etc. And, as you have pointed out, when we look at what others have to live with, or without, it's not difficult to conclude that we have it pretty good in comparison. Sure, there are people who have more, who seem to live charmed lives, but are they truly any better off than we are, any happier or more fulfilled? Probably not. So instead of comparing our circumstances with those we think have everything, we need to compare them with those who have next to nothing. Often those people show more gratitude for the little they have than we do for all our blessings. I start the day with a few minutes of prayers of thanksgiving before I do anything else. It's a great boost for the soul and spirit.Diane Stephensonhttp://diane-stephenson.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6590699484148529190.post-27204211238766933482012-03-25T17:13:23.129-04:002012-03-25T17:13:23.129-04:00Hallelujah!

It is so easy to get caught up in our disappointments when I find that, most often, it was my expectation of how things would be that trips me up. If I just take the time to accept what I've been given in a day, I find I am more content than when I compare what I got to what I expected or wanted.kariohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10150537989886423212noreply@blogger.com
