Every day is a blessing

Hi, today I'm feeling more grateful than ever. My father just got a narrow escape...

His life was in danger in an accident on his trip in Australia this week. Thanks to a couple of doctors in the tour, his life was saved!

Now I feel "Everyday is a blessing!"  and couldn't agree more.

The two doctors' deed inspires me to live in gratitude everyday - to think  positively and to improve happily.

Here is some thoughts for gratitude that I use for meditation for gratitude and compassion:

“If the only prayer you said in your whole life was, ‘thank you,’ that would suffice.” – Meister Eckhart

We often take for granted the very things that most deserve our gratitude. ~Cynthia Ozick

When eating bamboo sprouts, remember the man who planted them. ~Chinese Proverb

Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it. ~William Arthur Ward

Most human beings have an almost infinite capacity for taking things for granted. ~Aldous Huxley

If you want to turn your life around, try thankfulness. It will change your life mightily. ~Gerald Good

Saying thank you is more than good manners. It is good spirituality. ~Alfred Painter

Be Thankful
Be thankful that you don’t already have everything you desire,
If you did, what would there be to look forward to?
Be thankful when you don’t know something
For it gives you the opportunity to learn.
Be thankful for the difficult times.
During those times you grow.
Be thankful for your limitations
Because they give you opportunities for improvement.
Be thankful for each new challenge
Because it will build your strength and character.
Be thankful for your mistakes
They will teach you valuable lessons.
Be thankful when you’re tired and weary
Because it means you’ve made a difference.
It is 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.
