November is the time of year when we are supposed to take a moment to be thankful for what we have. Don't you think it is kind of funny that this implies that we only take time to give thanks in November during the holiday.
Lately it seems that everyday at work is very stressful. My every thought is centered around when can I retire. You know how it is. On Monday you start thinking about the weekend and then on Sunday you start dreading the new week. We complain that we don't have enough money for all the things we want. It seems that everything is a hassle, from bad traffic to high prices. So we just complain and complain. Somewhere in all of life's craziness we have forgotten to be thankful for what we have.
Maybe we should be thankful for having that job that makes us crazy and looking forward to retirement. Thankful for the car that requires that high priced gas. Thankful for our home, family and friends. Maybe we should take a moment to remember what being thankful means.
As hard as your life seems, there is always someone who's life is worse. So take a moment to be thankful for the things we take for granted everyday.
