Attitude of Gratitude!

I am so thankful for my God and the blessings that he gives me everyday! I am so appreciative of my wife of 30+ years... she is such a blessing to me. I am so very thankful for my daughters and their spouses and the grandangel we have on the way. It is very important that we are thankful. How can we be depressed if we appreciate our blessings? Am I truly appreciative ... am I truly thankful? Here goes the mind game again. With all that God has blessed me with how can I possibly have feelings of want, frustration or sacrifice? Why do I allow myself to drift from the positives of appreciation to the negatives of fear and worry?
3 things to do daily, to work the "attitude of gratitude muscles":
1. Start everyday / every prayer with thanks for blessings and be specific.
2. Focus on wiping out thoughts of disappointment, discouragement or want as soon as the enter your mind.
3. Verbalize your gratitude to those responsible or involved in the blessing. i.e.
Thank your spouse for unconditional love...thank your employer for the
opportunity they have given you.
