Thankfulness

“Thankfulness creates gratitude which generates contentment that causes peace.” -Todd Stocker

T is for Thankfulness

Did you know that counting your blessing can lead to a happier and healthier life? Expressing how thankful we are for all the benefits we have received radiates a positive outlook of our lives. When we acknowledge and spread positive vibrations of gratitude we are practicing an attitude of thankfulness. There is so much that we should be thankful for yet some people take little things for granted, eyesight for example. I chose the example of being able to see because I am a corneal transplant recipient and will forever be thankful to my corneal donor. So remember when you are counting your blessing don’t forget to include the ones we often overlook that give us an abundance of pleasure in life which are sight, smell, sound, taste, and touch.

Also known as Ms57Classic I came into this world on a summer morning on July 22, 1957. Newborn babies usually do not cry real tears at birth because their tear ducts have not formed yet. But I cried real tears! I have been through many things in my life and have dealt with a multitude of situations and emotions. I have been married and divorced twice. I am an ex-navy wife. I am a mom, a Grammie of 8 (so far), a sister, an aunt, and a friend of longevity. I have a son and a son-in-law in the US Navy and am very proud of their job decision and their accomplishments. My job as a mother is FOREVER. It will not stop when a child of mine reaches the age of 18! I have always been well liked, but not liked by all. I can stretch a dollar like it’s a rubber band. I like the person I am. I graduated from a writing school. I am in the process of writing a book. I graduated from University of Phoenix at the age of 56 with an associate’s degree in Art. I am disabled, having a multitude of health issues. I had a corneal transplant and since then have become an advocate for organ and tissue donation. One of my hobbies is finding those who share the exact birthday as me – July 22, 1957. There is much more ABOUT ME but I guess you will have to follow my blog if you’d like to find these things out : )

    • You are absolutely right about this challenge being a blessing. I just randomly came across the site and never even knew things such as blog hops and challenges even exited! I’m glad that I decided to join.

  5. Thankfulness is one of the best and most amazing virtue one can (and should) possess. As you said there are so many things around us, that we take for granted.

  6. Such a lovely post. Thank you for the gentle reminder to stop looking at all the things that are “wrong” and start being thankful for all the things that are “right.” I think we’ll find that there is far more “right” than “wrong.” 🙂

    • So you’re an optimist. I can tell because you wrote “I think we’ll find that there is far more “right” than “wrong.” I am thankful that you decided to read and comment on my blog : )

    • Sometimes we don’t realize the good things until something bad happens. I never realize how fortunate I was to be able to see and not be in pain. Then my eye disease happened and now I know just how lucky I am to be able to see the beautiful faces of my grandchildren.
