Every day is gratitude day but it’s important to set aside a special day to spend with family and friends to celebrate and give thanks for the big and little things and even for the things yet to come. It could be something as huge as world peace.
Some of us, from the moment we open our eyes to when we close them for sleep our thoughts are consumed by lack. So much so that it blocks our vision from seeing all that we have to be thankful for. Even if what you have is as small as a mustard seed – give thanks.
Gratitude is a cosmic magnet – the energy moves through space and time leaving a positive ripple effect.
Here’s a beautiful, inspirational poem about being thankful that will help you to be in appreciation. Let me know what you think about it.

Thank you Adalia for the poem. it is ver true that we have to be thankful for our troubles.
I thank you for making me aware of that..in most cases when trouble or problems attack us we cry out to God and sometimes ask Him “why me?” without realising that He is preparing us for better things.

I’m glad you liked the poem Timkeydia. There’s always something to be grateful for. Sometimes our negative mindset keeps us from appreciating what we have.
