Be Thankful

Be thankful that you don't already have everything you desire,If you did, what would there be to look forward to? Be thankful when you don't know somethingFor it gives you the opportunity to learn. Be thankful for the difficult times. During those times you grow. Be thankful for your limitationsBecause they give you opportunities for improvement. Be thankful for each new challengeBecause it will build your strength and character. Be thankful for your mistakesThey will teach you valuable lessons. Be thankful when you're tired and wearyBecause it means you've made a difference. It is easy to be thankful for the good things.A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who arealso thankful for the setbacks. GRATITUDE can turn a negative into a positive.Find a way to be thankful for your troublesand they can become your blessings.~ Author Unknown ~

I thought this was appropiate because we do have things to be thankful for now but we also have many difficult times and challenges right now. So hopefully this little poem is true and we will grow and build strength and character!
