When things are going well in
our lives,
it’s easy to be
grateful. But it can be
difficult
to stay positive and grateful
when we’re going through
tough times.
Still, even in
what seems to be the worst
situation, you should look for
reasons
to be thankful. Next
time your brother
or sister
annoys you, try to make a list
of the things you are grateful
for about
him or her. Next
time you can’t buy what
you
want from the store,
remember all
of the great
things you’ve got at home.
Or,
remember those less fortunate
who
don’t have anything at
all. If kids at school
make fun
of you, remember-things
could
be worse. You could be
them! People
who are grateful
are usually happier with
themselves and others. And
there are
lots of things to be
grateful for:
• Being alive. Honor and
appreciate
the miracle
of life.
• The wonders of nature.
There is beauty
all around
us-rejoice in it.
• The people in your life.
There are
lessons to be
learned from all.
• The ability to forgive. It is
the key
to your happiness.
• Your successes and your
failures. You
can learn
much from both.
Gratefulness is magical-the
more you
are grateful for
today, the more you will
find
you are grateful for tomorrow.
