I am grateful for so many things

Many days I take for granted that my children are healthy and my husband and myself! Or that if we are hungry all we have to do is walk into the kitchen and eat!!

I am thankful that my dump of a basement has a washer and dryer and that I don't have to haul my family's clothes to the laundromat to keep clean! I am thankful that if I have to go somewhere I just hop in my car and go unlike so many I see carrying bags of groceries waiting for the bus...

AND as I write this, I can feel negativity creeping into my mind saying "Is this all there is to life?!?!" but yes I am thankful still... I wish I had lots of money in the bank and could buy all my heart desires or go on vacations or have a bigger nicer house... but even with all that, wouldn't I wish for something more?

Thank God, for all I have and all I don't!
