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 something,
For it gives you the opportunity to learn.
Be thankful for the difficult times.
During those times you grow.
Be thankful for your limitations,
Because they give you opportunities for improvement.
Be thankful for each new challenge,
Because it will build your strength and character.
Be thankful for your mistakes.
They will teach you valuable lessons.
Be thankful when you're tired and weary,
Because it means you've made the effort.
It's easy to be thankful for the good things.
A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who
are also thankful for the setbacks.
Gratitude can turn a negative into a positive.
Find a way to be thankful for your troubles,
And they can become your blessings.

"Be thankful when you're tired and weary,
Because it means you've made the effort." - have never thought of it that way!
And this: "Be thankful that you don't already have everything you desire.
If you did, what would there be to look forward to?" - so so so true.

I never really thought about it like that, but it's so right--gratitude can turn a negative into a positive for sure.
I'm definitely thankful -- esp with what happened during Hurricane Sandy. Great post!
Ohhh dying over here,honey!;-)

We are so so over with all these material things that suround us every hour that we forget to be thankful for the real and true values of our lives.
