We tend to forget that happiness doesn’t come as a result of getting something we don’t have, but rather of recognizing and appreciating what we do have.
On this Labor Day 2008, with the world at war and Hurricane Gustav threatening the homes and lives of so many in the southeast, I am thankful for what I have...my life, my family, my job, my home, the freedom that we as Americans take for granted. So often, we don't appreciate what we have right now. (The photo is Mt. Hood taken from Shanna's high school).
so so true. taking the time to look around and be thankful is something I need to do more of. thks for the reminder.
