Being Grateful

Life is good, even when it isn't. To truly appreciate this, all one has to do is think about the alternative. I'm grateful for the little things in my life and, as I get a older, I realize that those little things aren't really so little: the vastness of the sky, the twinkling of the stars, and the coolness of the water in my small swamp. I'm a pretty lucky frog. I have the ability to write and to communicate with humans...and those are no small gifts. And they're one's I don't take lightly. That is why I try to put something positive into everything I write and into everything I post. There is enough negativity out there without my adding to it. So, today, I ask that try being grateful for the small, and the big things, in your life. You'll be a happier, calmer person, and that happiness and calmness will spread without us even trying.
