Be Thankful – the first thing you should do when you wake up in the morning.  Before you get out of bed.  You wake up, you are thinking, therefore you are alive.  Give thanks for the day ahead of you.  Savor the potential that lies in front of you. 

Be Thankful for all your blessings you woke up to: 

Level 1 Blessings – your present health

Level 4 Blessings – the fact that you live in a society where you can express yourself, you have money in your pocket, and perhaps even that you have someone you love or even someone who loves you.

These 4 blessings you should be thankful for, put you ahead of 99% of all humans ever born and in the top 10% of all humans currently alive.   

Be Thankful for those whose lives created the foundation you stand upon every day.  Most of them you have never known and cannot name.  The person who invented the wheel, electricity, transistors, cement, the printing press, etc.  And then there are those who have sustained you, nourished you, molded you into the person you are today.  Be thankful.  Think about calling one of them up and saying thank you, or telling them that you love them. 

Be thankful for the people who are in your life today. 

Be thankful for the opportunity you have today to make the world and yourself better. 

At the end of today take inventory of what you made of the day.  If you are happy with the results, then rinse and repeat tomorrow.  If you are not happy with the results, make a plan and put it into effect tomorrow to win the day.   

There are no rewind buttons on time.   

Each day is a gift. 

Make sure you take advantage of it. 

Being thankful every morning when you wake is a good way to make that happen. 

Wishes for a Great day to all, 

Hugs too – and love,
