Just A Thought ~ SO MANY THINGS
YOU COULD HAVE
"If you have nothing
for which to be thankful, make up your mind that there's
something wrong with you. If you think you haven't
much to be thankful for, why not be thankful for some
of the things you don't have?"

No doubt there are things we would
like to have, but there are also things we wouldn't
like; TV shows us plenty of both, and we don't even
need to go out into the real world to learn
this. The advertisements are constantly urging us
to buy, promising happiness if we do. But the news,
in particular, shows us how fortunate we are to be
without many things that other people have! Gratitude,
therefore, is just as much about not having, as it
is with having. If you feel that nothing good is happening
to you, go along to a hospital or nursing-home; it
will change your mind.
