*****Gratitude*****

Several Years ago, someone suggested...

I write down what I was thankful for...
That afternoon,
as I was feeling rather down-in-the dumps,
I began to see if I could think of anything that I was thankful for...
As I soon filled the entire page (was using paper then),
I began to feel so appreciative of what I did have
instead of belaboring what I didn't have.

  Topping my gratitude list this year are ...

*My new online friends I've met since starting my web site.

*The knowledge I've gained visiting other's sites.

*The motivation I've received through others sharing
their phenomenal stories of living courageously.

*My spirits being lifted by inspirational poetry.

*The many acts of kindness shown by strangers.

  I thank God that each of you have come into my life
and made an impact on my Life's Journey.
