As children, we can’t quite understand or appreciate just how blessed we are to be alive in this world. Sense of sight, touch and smell all seem like things we are supposed to have, but honestly, we are not “supposed” to have anything at all. All of the things that we possess or that is a part of our essence is a gift, and it shouldn’t be taken for granted. We eventually grow up and still take the most simple yet significant things for granted. Have you ever realized how important your legs and hands are? Do you know how blessed you are to be able to speak and have clean air to breath? Those are just a few things that mean so much to our everyday lives, yet we neglect the opportunities to be grateful in our quiet moments and recognize how drastically life would shift without them. Being thankful is a celebration that should take place every single day; it is a lifestyle. How often do you reflect to appreciate what you have in your life? We end up in a rut when we are going through a troublesome time. But, we must remember that no matter how bad our situation may seem, there are thousands of things to be appreciative for in our lives.
Below is a short list of things we here at LifeStyleHer are thankful for. Please feel free to add on in the comments box below. We would love to read them.
