Getting up was such a pain.....but the experience in church was worth it. It really is appropriate to be thankful. Imagine a world where no one was grateful. It would be like mcdonalds without mcflurry..that little cup of ice cream with rewards of oreos and caramel. I did make a mental note to say thank you to my father even though im a bit reluctant to.im sure his heart is the right place. I wake up each morning and im so happy i forget to tell God what a wonderful being he is for sparing me to see another day. How else would i have been so happy if when i woke up my whole world was crashing, or if i had lost the use of my sensation and perception skills. Or if i did not wake up at all and now instead of eating and drinking, my family was mourning. I will however be thankful for every (little) thing as it is just appropriate.  The Art of Giving Thanks is like a mystery potion that heals the heart. A sacred chant that gives you rewards in future time and sometimes not seen in present. We do need to recover the lost art of giving thanks...its rewards are bountiful. As of now saying thank you has definitely made me happier and i just feel like iv done the thing i should..that feeling of rightness..it's exactly what im experiencing now.
