Being blessed.

Even with Thanksgiving looming, I hadn't thought of thankfulness that much lately, until my yoga class on Monday. The instructor talked at length about thankfulness in a variety of ways and told us to think about things during our practice and meditation that maybe surprised or inspired us today

An excellent post for this holiday. I was drafting something in my head, but it was focused on all the wrong things. Thanks for reminding me to appreciate what I've got.

Well, thank you, kind sir. I hadn't planned on making a post like this at all, as it seems so... over posted, but I had half created it in a comment to a post by cmerun12, and I figured it would be a good start.

Even at my hardest times, I try to remind myself that it can certainly be worse.

Which reminds me of a news story that my brother and I watched on tv last night - the announcers said something like "A bride's WORST NIGHTMARE - the boutique carrying her wedding gown burned to the ground 24 hours before the wedding!!!" To which I turned to Jess and said, "Wouldn't having your entire family mauled by a bear during your wedding be a bit MORE of a 'worst nightmare'?"

Agreed! I don't know if she's the originator, but dryad271 labels such things first world problems. It does help to keep it in perspective.

You were so emphatic about your response, you just had to say it twice!

And HA at first world problems.
