Mantra of the Month: "Be Thankful"

We often spend time complaining about our day to day situations.  We complain about having to go to work on Mondays, while thousands of unemployed individuals without a paycheck would kill to go for us.  We complain that we need to exercise to stay at a healthy weight, while there are people out there with various handicaps that will never get the chance to do an early Saturday run with a a fun loving group.  We complain at times that in order to stay healthy we have to choose healthy foods over "comfort" foods, when there are many people who don't have the luxury of knowing when their next meal is, let alone choose what it is.  When we become too comfortable with our situations, it becomes very easy to lose sight of reality and begin having our own personal "pity parties".   So next time you start falling into this cycle of thought, rise above it and remember all that you are fortunate to have.  Then practice gratitude and BE THANKFUL.
