Gratitude

"Gratitude is the sign of noble souls." Aesop

The only thing in life over which we really have control is our attitude.  We can look for the positive events in our lives, or we can be oriented toward what is going wrong.  We will always have both of these in our lives:  the seeming blessings and the seeming challenges.  I have learned in life that the seeming challenges also end up to have been blessings, for the learnings they allow.  So, perhaps all of life is a blessing.  On this day which is recognized by many to be a day for thanksgiving, let us consider:  what if all life events are really blessings?
