The economy stinks, life can be hard, and at times, terribly unfair! However, there are many things to be grateful for at the same time; wonderful things all around us that we tend to overlook or take for granted, or that just get overshadowed by the JUNK. My sweet Mom used to always say, "When life hands you a lemon, make lemonade!" and "It is always darkest before the dawn." My Dad was equally positive and had many health challenges before he passed away...in my book, he had a lot he could complain about, but never did! Instead he would always end our conversations with," I've lived a blessed life. I have no complaints." We can't control everything around us, but we can control our attitude...we can laugh or we can cry...we can focus on our trials or focus on our blessings...we can complain about our circumstances or do something to make life better, either in our life or someone else's! Now don't go thinking I've got this "attitude thing" mastered, but I'm working on it! LIFE really IS GREAT!
