@Tea – There are many things to be thankful for even when you think something is not good! Thanks for the comment!
Thanks for sharing this lovely reminder that there’s reason to be thankful when things aren’t perfect, that life is about the journey, not just the destination.
I blogged a Month of Thanksgiving in November and one of the benefits I found was giving thanks for all of life’s blessings, which sometimes come disguised as negatives.
It was nice to find your blog. I am always looking for like-minded bloggers. I just wrote a blog about gratitude and it was very much like what you wrote about being thankful. It is easy to be grateful for the good that you have. My blog is called Daily Spriritual Tools and I would love your feedback.
