What am I thankful for?
? That my heart is broken, because it means I still feel.
? That I am in despair, because it means I still care.
? That my brain is working overtime, because it means I still have my mental faculties.
? That I have been in and out of tears, because it means I can still cry.
? That I have avoided taking out my emotion on my friends and family, because it means I have friends and family.
? That I feel I have hit rock bottom, because it means this isn't what it feels like at the top.
? That this is all in my head, because it means that my perception can change.
? That I am jobless, because it means that there's a thousand opportunities to find a better job than my last one.
? That I will groan and fight through another day, because it means the Lord loves me and will give me another day.
? That I can groan and fight, because it means I haven't given up.
? That my mother will grimace when she hugs me because of the cigarette smoke. That means I have a mother who will still hug me, despite my bad decisions.
? That I can still inhale that which is killing me faster, because it means the Lord thinks I'm not a waste of oxygen.
? That my father will cry upon hearing of my lack of progress, because it means my father loves me.
? That my car has problems, because I have a car.
? That my room is a horrid mess, because it means I have a roof over my head.
? That my disease still gives me pain and humiliation, because it means that I am still alive.
? That I feel like I'm in a taste of Hell, because this is as close to Hell as I will get due to the Savior who loves me.
? That my life consists of (usually) waking up, going to work, coming home, watching a movie or playing a game, and going to sleep (eventually), because it means that life consists of something.
? That either this will pass or I will pass, because it means that either way, things will improve someday.
No matter what you're feeling today, there's something to be thankful for. Your day might suck, but at least you have today. Just something to consider.
