Be Thankful

By Author Unknown

Be thankful that you don’t already have everything you desire.

If you did, what would there be to look forward to?

Be thankful when you don’t know something,

for it gives you the opportunity to learn.

Be thankful for the difficult times.

During those times you grow.

Be thankful for your limitations,

because they give you opportunities for improvement.

Be thankful for each new challenge,

because it will build your strength and character.

Be thankful for your mistakes.
They will teach you valuable lessons.

Be thankful when you’re tired and weary,

because it means you’ve made a difference.

It’s easy to be thankful for the good things.

A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who

are also thankful for the setbacks.

Gratitude can turn a negative into a positive.

Find a way to be thankful for your troubles,

and they can become your blessings.

I’ve only been on a horse three times in my life but, if I ever decide to make horseback riding a hobby, Admington Hall Estate, this idyllic place in Warwickshire, England would be the place to go for some training. It wouldn’t hurt to relieve the pain of a long day of horseback riding with a nice massage in front of the fireplace. Enjoy!

The Gritti Palace Hotel in Venice had to go under a major renovation in an effort to save the legendary hotel from sinking.  And still some global warming deniers keep trying to make their case.  They should go ask the residents living in coastal areas, islands and peninsulas, what it feels like to live with the reality of their cities sinking daily.  Although for some people global warming is not happening, other smarter ones are taking positive actions to save their Countries and Cities.  The famous Gritti Palace Hotel is a favorite of rich and famous and some say Ernest Hemingway was among them.  Enjoy this beauty!
