Thankful

Not too long ago, I had a really great job. I also had a really great salary to go along with it. I was actually probably paid more than I was worth. But who was I to question the 'powers that be' and their wisdom regarding my pay. Unfortunately, that great job is now gone. Along with the great pay and the lifestyle it afforded me.

The transition from 'having' to 'have not' hasn't been easy. One day when I was depressed and feeling sorry for myself about my new circumstances, I came across a website that helped put things in perspective for me. It's a site that compares one's income with that of the rest of the world's population, and tells you how you rank worldwide. With my current income (which I considered rather meager), I rank pretty high. Surprisingly so.

It made me realize how grateful I should be for what I do have. And then there is also the point to be made that when one door closes, another opens. So I am also grateful to have found WA, and the opportunities it offers.

All of this brings me to make a resolution for the new year. May I always try and remember to be thankful for all that I do have, and not focus on what might be lacking.

The site.....

Yes, being thankful for what we do have is the important thing. So many are without anything at all. That's when I remember how very blessed I truly am. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for taking the time to read it!

We all have many reasons to be thankful to God. Everything that we have that is good comes from Him.

Kip, these are good thoughts to start off the new year. Gratitude can be powerful.

Great post. I guess we all learn at some point its about perspective.

Great post, we should remember this more often,

Great way of looking at it, Kip. Too often we forget that most of the world around us is much, much worse off. Cheers
