I have tried to write this thread far to many times.

I am obviously not going to do a good job, so i will try to keep this simple.

Sick of complaining. Sick of hearing complaints. I KNOW the economy sucks..Really, i have heard! ;)

I just feel like we are all so wrapped up in negativity that we are losing sight of the wonderful, positive things we have in life. I know a lot of people struggle with all kinds of personal issues, death, diseases, financial stress..But what about the things we DO have? I am guilty of worrying about the little things and i am sick to death of it. you know i wish i had more days like this. Days where i realize what i DO have. Why do i have to wait until a friend dies to realize this? I have always been a grateful person and have always tried to stay strong and positive but i am so burdened by my own little challeneges that sometimes i get completely lost in it all that i forget that i can stop...and breathe.. and that in itself is something to SMILE about. I still have the ability to wake up in the morning and go to sleep at night... I love and am loved. This is wonderful, just by itself.

My plea is for you all to try to look past the struggles and hold onto the positivity in your life. Even just the little things..
The simple fact that your able to log onto the internet and read this cheesy post! ...Or google 'Lolcats' ;)
We are all incredibly lucky, despite the challenges..Despite the economy..

Please post ONE thing (ANYTHING) that you are very grateful for..

I shall start :)

I am grateful for...*gulp*... FOOD... :ashamed
