Although today is Thanksgiving (in the United States), I am grateful every single day of my life.  I have fought long and hard to get where I am.  It has been incredibly difficult at times, and I wondered on many occasions if I would make it,  BUT I have.  Each night before I go to bed, I write five things in my journal that I am grateful for that happened that day.  I’ve been doing this for a couple of years, and I have to admit, I look forward to it.  During the day, I am always on the lookout for things to be grateful for.  Some times it is something big and important; other times, it may be as simple as penny I find on the street.  Having an attitude of gratitude really does make a difference.
