I just finished reading a few letters written to a website about regrets and they disturbed me terribly. It would be awfully debilitating to saddle your mind with regrets about things you hadn't done or accomplished in your days on earth so I thought, why not create a blog where people could write letters or comments about things they were thankful for? Long sentence and probably not grammatically correct but it doesn't really matter.
Of course we're all thankful for good families and friends but that's not what I'm driving at. It's more the simple things, like the feel of the warm sun on your face or the first bite of pecan pie (my favorite).
I have a philosophy that you can choose to be happy just as you can choose to allow the bad things you encounter to drag you down. There will always be some form of beauty to be found if only you choose to look for it.
Anyway, this blog may go nowhere at all but I'm hoping it will draw even one person to stop and consider what they have to be thankful for and to take the time to post it here.
I'll start by giving thanks to whoever created computers because they opened up the world to us. I'm a senior lady who could spend hours researching every little thing my mind can imagine and this keeps my mind relatively sharp if I do say so myself.
