My New Blog

Yes, we have certainly heard this one before, but especially this year, it is good to take a serious look at one's attitude, as it is a precious possession and is only created by our thoughts.

At a time when we are giving thanks, the usual comes to mind:  thanks for our health, our families, and all the good that has happened to us throughout the year.  But mixed in with all the good, each one of us has experienced some kind of challenge in 2009, whether it be the loss of a job, income, the loss of a home, death of a loved one, health issues, or destroyed relationships. 

We are actually being forced to change our thoughts in order to achieve balance and harmony in life.  Our priorities are definitely changing and that is a good thing.  Our mind remains productive only when we clear it of fear and anger.  Many things in life are important, but so is peace of mind. 

This Thanksgiving, let's not only give thanks for what is good in our life, but take time to review all that has happened this year and use it as an opportunity to grow.  Each irritation, frustration, heartache  and disappointment is a chance to practice the attitude of gratitude.  Everyone has something for which to be grateful!

May you have a peaceful and happy Thanksgiving!
