Yes I'm Happy!
and this poem, pretty much sums up my "frame of mind" about my life and how joyously I live it:
I AM THANKFUL
I am thankful that I don't already have everything I desire.
If I did, what would there be to look forward to?
I am thankful when I don't know something,
for it gives me the opportunity to learn.
I am thankful for the difficult times. During those times I grow.
I am thankful for my limitations,
because they give me opportunities for improvement.
I am thankful for each new challenge,
because it builds strength and character.
I am thankful for my mistakes. They teach me valuable lessons.
I am thankful when I'm tired and weary,
because it means I've made a difference.
It's easy to be thankful for the good things. A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who are also thankful for the setbacks.
Gratitude can turn a negative into a positive. Find a way to be thankful for your troubles, and they can become your blessings.
