Lou,

Excellent. I wonder why so many people have trouble with this simple concept.

So true. Looking for people and things to appreciate certainly increases the likelihood of finding them. It makes everyday better.

Hi Lou:

Thank you is so simple and so important.

Have a Happy New Year.

Lou - We should all give thanks everyday we wake up.

Lou- giving thanks for what we have and appreciating our lives are sorley lacking in so many today, especially some of our youth.  We cannot be so blase about our good fortune otherwise life becomes meaningless. 

Lou showing appreciation is so important, yet a quality that is lacking in our society today.

Hi Lou, Tacumesh was a very smart man.  I often wake and start planning the day and forget to give thanks for the morning light, but I agree with your take on it, focus on the positive and strive to move through this world with a grateful heart.

Lou,

Thanksgiving is one of the basic traits of mankind. We have so many blessings and we need to able to acknowledge them befor our Creator. :)

Lou-  Love the post.   I know this is something I do frequently.  I am truly blessed with my friends, family and job.  I wish more people would appreciate truly what they have instead of complaining and finding foughts.  

Thanks for the reminder. It is way too easy to forget the most simple things in life that continue to bring us happiness.

Having gratitude makes our lives so much more fulfillling.

Love this post, and it looks like I am not alone :-0
