A Time of Thankfulness -Day #10 A November Challenge

Day #10 of the November Thankfulness Challenge.  Today I am thankful for a Good Attitude!  Proverbs 15:13 says "A glad heart makes a happy face; a broken heart crushes the spirit."  I am often accused of being "too happy" or always looking at the glass as "half-full" and I am OK with that!  Why?  Because I try and make a daily choice to have a good attitude no matter what.  I try to find the good in each and every situation.  I find that if I do that then it keeps me from getting down and it lifts other people around me up!  I find that a good attitude will get you far!  Finding the good in every situation or to use a cliche' to "find the silver lining" in all things. 

You may be thinking "Do I every have my bad days?"  Yes, I do!  However, even in those days where I may just want to blow up and scream, I still try my best to choose to have a good attitude, to look at the glass as "half-full" and not "half-empty".  Because even when I am down, I can still have a good attitude knowing that whatever it is, it will not last forever and that there are better days ahead of me.  So today, I am thankful for a good attitude!

If you are down today, try and find the good, try and have an "Attitude Adjustment" and you will be amazed on what will happen.  Your outlook will totally change!  I promise!  Sometimes it's hard, I know!!!!   However the "Good Attitude" is a choice.  So do what I am thankful for today and choose a good attitude, I believe you will be happy you did!

I leave you today with some words from Charles Swindoll in regards to attitude:

Attitude

The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life.
Attitude, to me, is more important than facts.

It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do.  It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill.  It will make or break a company....a church....a home.

The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day.  We cannot change our past...we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way.  We cannot change the inevitable.

The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude...

I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it.  And so it is with you...we are in charge of our attitudes!
