Sometimes we make it so hard for ourselves to be grateful because we don't have the latest gadgets or drive the nicest car...but to enjoy a smile, from anyone (or smile at someone), the twinkle in someone's eye, a tear...are all gifts that far outweigh the latest in technology!

I don't know if we're just blessed, if we're lucky or if it's taken "necessary loses" or hard times to get to this point. I often think the harder life has been, the more grateful we are -- seems opposite of what it should be doesn't it?<br><br>I'll leave you with a quote I found recently that I love...<br>"The way I see it is you have two choices in life; you can be grateful for everything life has given you or you can be resentful for everything life has done to you.

But, I like you, feel sabatoged when my acts of kindness evolve into the concept of expectation. I think it's because I like to believe I do things with no other motive then to make another persons day special. When the other person places a burdon of need or want on my gestures, the dynamics shift. <br>I love the notion of each day I am also holding a cup that can be filled with random coins.
