And I Say..

Be Thankful

If you have a bad day at work, be thankful.

            Appreciate that you have a job.

            Some people don’t.

When you pay your bills, be thankful

            You can pay them.

If you see a gray hair, be thankful.

            Think of the cancer patient

            in chemotherapy  who only wishes for any hair.

When you find yourself waiting

            in line or the recipient of poor services,

            be thankful.

            Think about the people who have no

            food to eat at all.

When you realize how much work

            it is to take care of a house,

            be thankful you have a house.

Think about those who only wish they had a house to take care of.

When you feel like complaining

            because you have to walk

            a long distance from your car,

            be thankful.

            Think of what it would be

            like to be able to walk.

If you get irritated by other

            people’s anger, apathy, ignorance,

            bitterness, or insecurities,

            be thankful.

            Things could be worse.

            You could be one of them.

When you think everything in your world

            is terrible, and you want

            to give up.

            Think of the people who have

            been told them only a certain

            amount of time

            to time.

They don’t want to give up.

Live life to its fullest.

Appreciate life!

Thanks To You!

 When I’m sad you make me happy

When I’m trapped, you set me free

When I feel blind to the world,

You always manage to make me see

When I’m in pain, you heal me

When I’m lost, you help me find my way

You guide me when I feel I can’t go on

When I’m speechless, you always know what to say

And during times which I feel lonely,

You are always near

When I need someone to talk to me,

You tell me what I want to hear

And when I feel I can’t go on,

All I have to do is think of you

To remind me how special you are

So thank you!
