For my first gratitude blog, I wanted to share something Mom Burt gave to me when I was writing a talk on gratitude. I really like this quote and try to always keep it in mind because it is very true and can help foster a greater attitude of gratitude.
Be thankful that you don't already have everything you desire; if you did, what would you have to look forward to?
Be thankful when you don't know something; it gives you an opportunity to learn.
Be thankful for difficult times; during those times you grow.
Be thankful for your limitations; they give you an opportunity for improvement.
Be thankful for each new challenge; it will build your strength and character.
Be thankful for your mistakes; they will teach you valuable lessons.
Be thankful when you're tired and weary; it means you've made a difference.
It's easy to be thankful for the good things. A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who are also thankful for the setbacks. Gratitude can turn a negative into a positive. Find a way to be thankful for your troubles; they can become your blessings. --Author Unknown

Wahooo, I love it! My gratitude blogs are catching fire! It's definitely the little things that matter, isn't it?
You forgot:
Be Thankful for a wife who keeps the house going while you're gone at work... She works hard and without her you'd be going to work in dirty clothes!
