Happy Thanksgiving to All!!

[Tinker'n'Fun]

Count your blessings instead of your crosses;
Count your gains instead of your losses.

Count your joys instead of your woes;
Count your friends instead of your foes.

Count your smiles instead of your tears;
Count your courage instead of your fears.

Count your full years instead of your lean;
Count your kind deeds instead of your mean.

Count your health instead of your wealth;
Count on God instead of yourself.

Thank you, that was especially poignant to read tonight. Dh is in Afghanistan, I was feeling very down tonight and that just turned my attitude all around. I am seeing the rest of my family tomorrow and will focus on that. I appreciate you taking the time to post that, many thanksgiving blessings back to you.

Hope your day is wonderful, and please thank your husband for his service, we will include him in our Thanksgiving prayer tomorrow.

It's a favorite of mine, as I tend to "forget my blessings". Hope your Thanksgiving is wonderful.

Right back at ya!

I have so much to be thankful for...

If I've learned nothing else in the past year, I have learned that life is so much more pleasant when you wake up each day and choose what your attitude will be..

Laughing is always better than crying..

Kindness is always better than being mean-spirited..

Generosity is always better than thinking in terms of "Me, me, me.."

Having faith is always better than feeling hopeless..

Being thankful is always better than taking life - and all that comes with it - for granted..

Happy Thanksgiving To All !!!
