On Gratitude

Heidi Hess Saxton has been running a great series for Lent on her blog over at the Extraordinary Moms Network. Today's topic was gratitude. This is one I have such a hard time with. I'm not a naturally optimistic person. It is hard for me to see the good in life. I see the hurt and feel the pain. I try to see the bright side - really, I do, and I do have my moments. But, it is definitely something I need to work on. I can always use the reminder to "be thankful," both to others and to God. Thanks, Heidi, for reminding me today.
