November is a Month of Thankfulness

It has dawned on me that November is a Month of Thankfulness. Okay, so I am slow some times.
First, we have the Right to exercise voting for the leaders of our country (federal, state and local). This is something, we tend to forget to be thankful for.
Second, we celebrate Veteran's Day. We must remember these men and women. Without whom, we couldn't exercise the first event of November.
And third, we celebrate Thanksgiving. It is a time when we have a possibility of gathering as families. It is a time when, we can reflect on the preciousness of those we hold dear to our hearts. It is a time, of reflecting on our heritage (for many of us it is quite the mixture). It is a time to be Thankful to the Creator, God, Savior, or whomever for the love and mercy. It is a time to be Thankful for what we have and not look at the negative side of life.
I guess my point is with all the concerns about the economy, war and etc.; we can find something to be Thankful and Grateful for. We just need to adjust our attitudes. I have always loved the words from a song, that I believe was popular in WWII or possibly WWI.

"Accent the positive, eliminate the negative and don't mess with Mr. In Between"

So if you are having trouble finding those things, take pen and paper in hand and start a Gratitude Journal. If nothing else put, Just put one small thing in it a day.
