Be Grateful......

Be grateful to everything in your life. If you have a messed up family be grateful that you have one. If you are a single parent struggling to make it on your own, be grateful for the blessing of having a child and the joy they bring. If you had a relationship end be grateful for the personal growth that has or is about to take place, and be grateful for your support system in these difficult times. If you have a messed up job and hate going to work everyday, be grateful that you are employed. If you just found yourself to be unemployed be grateful for the health that you have. If you have found yourself diagnosed with cancer, be grateful for all the people that love you and cherish you. If you lost a loved one this year, be grateful that you had the opportunity to get to know them and love them the way you did.

No matter what the situation is be grateful for what you do have and hold onto that. Don't compare what you have compared to what others are less fortunate and do not have. Just be grateful for the one thing that brings you joy what ever that is. Find solace and tranquility in this holiday season for what you have, and always be grateful.

Sincerely,

Icy Mike

Easier said than done, sometimes. But, nevertheless, a good message that we all need to hear.
