First Words in the Morning: Thank You, God

Each day upon waking, a prayer of thanks starts the day.


Thanks for the night that has just passed.


Thanks for the new, full day of life about to begin.


Thanks for my family, for health, for my jobs, for my blog, and for my cat!


When details come to mind, I'm thankful for toothpaste, running water, the ability to walk instead of use a wheelchair, for morning coffee (especially with half-and-half), and so on.

Truly, one thing I've learned in this old life is that an attitude of gratitude is the way to happiness. It stops complaining, lamenting, and whining in their tracks.

I've read that it's also important to thank God for things before they happen!

So I thank Him for the updated car for my hubs (it hasn't come yet); for a comfortable couch (please?); and for weight loss (still working on it but still like half-and-half. ha!)

When giving constant thanks, my attitude improves and then it becomes a reality----my attitude determines my altitude as another day begins.
