Gratitude is Not Overrated

Nothing to do with this post. I just LOVE them

I heard a comment the other day that Gratitude is overrated. Today I am going to disagree.
I have kinda been in a Slump lately and as I sat in bed last week thinking about life and How good I've got it. I realized just how Grateful I "Should" be.
I am a pretty Lucky girl and this thought reminded me of a church article about having An Attitude of Gratitude, I realize that Attitude plays a huge part in my day. If my Attitude sucks, then I make it hard for those around me to have a positive attitude, same with those people I surround myself with. If they are Crabby, it's easy to have a Negative attitude. I know that Life isn't always easy, or fair, and I compare my life with people who in my opinion "Have it All" and it's hard sometimes to see people who have husbands and sweet children and realize that it's what I want more than anything in this Whole Wide World, I know that It's still a possibility that I will find "Mr. Right" and have those beautiful Blond Haired, Blue Eyed Spoiled rotten kids. But for now it's not my life,  SO I need to find Joy in the Journey TODAY,  Easy, probably not, but it's my new goal.  Wish me Luck :)
 To help with this, I have started taking time everyday to find reasons to be Grateful, some may seem a little far fetched but they are all "my" reasons  I should show Gratitude.
