BE THANKFUL
By Author Unknown
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's 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.

Not sure if I fully agree with these statements. They sound like good, nice advice, but surely one cannot follow it past a reasonable point for that means being thankful for everything bad that happens. At the extreme, it reminds me of Ah Q's approach towards life.
Not being cynical here; it's just that the statements sound to me to be too idealistic for the real world.
I share your sentiments. Nevertheless i find that sometimes a person's perspectives in life may need an Ah Q's approach to have some positive mindset in this survival of the fittest world.
Don't worry, you are not been cyclical. In fact, I am impressed by your post. And I am still thank you to your encouraging note to earlier blog around the same time last year.
Surprised that you still remember that note. It was a while back. But good to know that the year seemed to have got better for you as it went on. Hope 2007 will be an even better year for you.
