Snowflake Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 I heard somewhere, in the endless world of motivational speakers and self-help courses my company pushes, that to change one's attitude to positive, it helps to list five things you are thankful for each night before you go to bed. First night is easy, second night, you cannot repeat the same things as the night before. Blessings have to be different, cannot fall into the habit of "repeat of last night".... I'm going to list five things I'm thankful for today, please, add on to the string... 1) Winter doesn't last all year 2) Elastic waists on sweatpants 3) My boy coming home from his dad's house after a good weekend 4) A husband that cooks well 5) Good friends Your turn!

DeanCarl Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 1. Today I saw the sunshine (the docs said I wouldn't be around this long) 2. Today I got to say "I love you" to my wife (and have gotten to do that every day for over 20 years) 3. Today I have a roof over my head, food to eat, and people who care (there was I time I had none of those things) 4. Tonight I will go to sleep in a warm comfortable bed (and not in a doorway somewhere) 5. Today I got to remember that, for some reason I will never fathom, God has allowed me to be a positive influence in the lives of others (when, for so many years, I only brought pain and sorrow to others). Ya know, today was a pretty good day. Dean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
