1,001 things to be thankful for.

As I was driving home the other day, I happened to notice the beautiful and bright blueness of the sky, which was peaking through the big white clouds. It was such a crisp and wonderful colour, it immediately brought joy and thankfulness into my heart.
The beauty of the sky and the beauty of all nature is one of many things that should never be overlooked; yet as humans, we do just that.
As I reflected more on this, I realized there are so many things I really am grateful for. Some of these things are small; like that colour of the sky, while others are much more.
I too easily get caught up in the sufferings of this world and complain about the things that I don't have that I often loose track of what is important... Being thankful for what I do have... Enjoying all the little moments in life, not focused on the bad, but focused on the Blessings.... Living life for the Lord, to its fullest (and having fun all the while)... These are all things that are important to me.
Maybe this world could be a better place, if each of us were to become a little more thankful with each passing day.
