This morning I woke up with a not-so-happy attitude, I guess you would call it. I wasn't flat out mean and ornery; just tired, sore, and not feeling up to par. As I thought about why I just didn't feel as thankful as I should be on this beautiful day, I realized that my attitude was affecting my display of gratitude. I realized that when we focus on things we can't do, or on what we don't have, or even things we once were, are basically not being grateful for what we can do, and what we do have, and who we are today.
I learned that our attitude really does display our gratitude to everyone we associate with as well as our Father in Heaven. I know that when I think of all the blessings in my life it changes the way I feel and my attitude changes from one of being not-so-happy to an attitude of gratitude.
My hope as I go throughout this day that I will look for and think about every tiny little blessing that is in my life and keep that though in my heart. By the end of the day I hope to have a heart filled with blessings and an attitude filled with gratitude!
Happy Thanksgiving!
