think about it thursday....GRATITUDE!

i've been thinking a lot lately about

GRATITUDE....

i don't have everything i WANT,

but i do have everything i NEED!

for example...

as my bloggers know,

my car got smashed a while back

and i, of course, would love a new one.

but finances have, at least

temporarily, put that on hold.

but it runs GREAT, it's still totally

driveable, and i'm SURE there

are thousands of people without

transportation that would love to have it!

therefore,

I AM GRATEFUL FOR MY CAR!!!

our faucet is broken and

we need to replace it with a whole new one.

it's kinda a pain to do dishes this way

and keep it sanitary while

getting water out.

but i'm also sure there are

thousands of people who don't have

ANY running water in their homes,

if they even have a home that is,

who would be totally fine with it

JUST THE WAY IT IS!

therefore,

I AM GRATEFUL FOR RUNNING

WATER IN MY HOME FROM MY

BROKEN FAUCET!!!

our toilet needs the mechanism

(look how i used that word to imply

that i know what's wrong with it, LOLOL!)

replaced and our handyman

hasn't gotten to it yet.

but i am SURE, once again,

that there are thousands of people

who don't have a toity in their

homes and live in shacks,

or even on the streets

with little children right now

who would be just FINE with it

just the way it is!!

therefore,

I AM GRATEFUL FOR MY TOITY!

sooooooooo,

the next time you're looking at

something thinking

'i wish i had a NEW ONE,

i wish i had a BETTER ONE'

or something like that,

just remember that there's someone

out there who wishes they had one at ALL!
