On Being Grateful

They say when you feel defeated or lost, you should count your blessings; that this is something we can do everyday, not just once a year on Thanksgiving. I have to admit, when I thank God for the abundance in my life I do automatically feel a strange sense of peace. I realize that even though I might be unemployed, and in a financial crisis, I am still so much better off than the majority of the people living on this planet.
