Today

Marlene 

Today is ours to live, to choose how we feel and look for the best in every person and situation. Gratitude plays a big part in everyone's life and comes back to repay you again and again in ways you never even thought about.

Maybe you ask, "What do I have to be grateful for? I didn't get what I wanted! My life isn't going the way it was supposed to go."

I believe that everything happens for a reason, even when it's not evident to us. May I suggest that gratitude is double-sided: Be grateful for what you get - and be grateful for what you didn't get because maybe by not getting it, you escaped something else you would never want.
