I read this quote on another blog the other day and it really stuck out to me. Sometimes I feel like I focus in on the things that I don't have WAY too much and forget to be thankful for the things that I DO have. Just thought I would share....
Gratitude is a quality I have found in every happy person I know. It is a quality that instantly makes a person more likable and more at peace. Where there is an abundance of this virtue, there is happiness. Where there is an absence of this virtue, there is often sadness, resentment and futility .... If we only look around us, there are a thousand reason for us not to be happy ... the more we focus on the things we don't have, the more unhappy and more resentful we become. -- Joseph B. Wirthlin (Live in Thanksgiving Daily, Ensign, September 2001)
