The reality is, most of us dont recognize how much we are blessed.
There is a cripple somewhere wishing he could walk, let alone squat and fulfill physical goals and dreams. If you hurt your foot by stepping on a tack, at least you have legs. And good thing it wasnt a nail.
There is a blind person who's joy would be made full if he could see the world like us.
A deaf man longs to hear his wife's tender voice somewhere out there.
There are people in poverty who would feel like royalty in my shoes.

I really hope people realize there is a lot to be thankful for in any situation.

Thankyou, God.
and Happy upcoming Thanksgiving everyone.
 
Us Canucks had our Thanksgiving last month, so I can now live vicariously through my American friends and experience another Thanksgiving :)

We all have much to be thankful for, PB, despite what we may think. Kudos to you for starting this thread.

Solid message.....I've always said, the most amazing quality of humans is our ability to take things for granted. The hours, days and years will pass regardless, but I think we enjoy them a bit more when we realize how great we have it and just how precious life is.
