Here's something a rabbi once taught me which helps sometimes. Before you ask God for something, remember to say thank you first before asking. Now, when something comes my way, even something small, like a parking space, I try and always whisper a thank you. Who knows, maybe someone is really listening.

Nothing has bloomed around here yet, but hopefully soon... Grover -- Oh wow, five! That would definitely be even harder. But worth it, I'm sure. :) Dianna -- Someone amazing must be sitting next to you! Juliana -- That's just it, isn't it? Complaining is so much easier, but maybe that's just because we work at it much more. I'm willing to bet that if we were grateful on a regular basis, it would come more naturally over time. Plus, we'd feel a whole lot better about life in general! Glitterandrainbows — How beautiful! Nothing has bloomed around here yet, but hopefully soon…

There's so much to be thankful for. It might be easier to complain but it sure makes me bummed out when I do. That is the most wonderful idea! There’s so much to be thankful for.

All of us found it really difficult but thankfully we got there in the end. I found it a really helpful exercise. My first would be my family, who I know will always be there for me. Great post!
