Being Thankful

Forget the bucket lists about once-in-a-lifetime experiences.  Be thankful and cherish the everyday blessings in your life.  I was folding about five loads of laundry this afternoon, listening to the rain outside and thinking about my to do list that is way too long for one day.   I looked out my window and saw this beautiful Orchid sitting on my patio table that new friends of mine gifted me.  I am thankful I now have new friends and that out of the kindness of their hearts they gave me this beautiful plant to enjoy every day (as long as I don't kill it!)  Being thankful for little things brings great joy and peace.
