I was watching a TV show. It was a cooking contest. One of the contestants stated that another contestant was a blessing. Can you imagine being in a show against one another and calling another contestant a blessing. Now that is not only unheard of, but also realizing people admire others who know more than them. You can see the gratefulness in the contestant that was called a blessing.

I am so grateful for all of my readers. You don’t have to know someone for them to make you feel so grateful. I hardly know any of individuals who read my blog. But… I am so grateful for everyone who reads my blog. When I see someone like a post in my blog, I feel grateful that I touched someone’s heart.

Throughout the day, I feel grateful by all the good things that happen to me. Throughout the day, I feel grateful for all the positives I endure. When I face something negative, I feel grateful for the challenge. I have the opportunity to turn my negative into a positive, which makes me grateful for overcoming the challenge.

Many people do not achieve the feelings of gratefulness. Their life has had so many negatives that these individuals believe that is just how life is to them. I was watching Big Brother, yes I am a reality show junky along with watching football. There is a contestant who always states things go bad for him, just like his life growing up. Dang, I used to feel that way. Then I realized I needed to focus on the good daily. I also needed to change the events that make me feel as if I am a loser.

We need to feel grateful instead of wanting people to feel sorry for us. This happens when we focus on negative events in our life. We do this instead of trying to fix them. We should figure out how to change a negative into a feeling of gratefulness. We learn and we change when we do not accept the feelings of always being a failure. Yes, just accepting our negative life is easier. It’s easier than trying to discover how we can feel grateful instead.

People feel sorry for us and then we feel cared for. Ish….I prefer my current feelings. I wake up knowing I have the tools to be a happy and healthy individual. People and friends love happy people and friends. We gravitate towards them.

I use to not like myself because I spewed negativity everywhere. I’m surprised I had any friends back in the day. Yes, I do have negative thoughts about certain aspects of my life. I do talk to certain friends about them and listen to their advice. But, I know that each time I complain, I need to focus on the reason and the avenue I should seek out to enjoy my gratefulness in living life fully.

I am so grateful for what I have, how I have changed and for all of you who read my blog. Life is short, live it happily and enjoy it.
