Thankful For What I Don't Have!

Sometimes it is not what we have but what we don't have!

This month I have tried to focus on what I am thankful for.  Turns out I am most thankful for things I have.  But today I was thankful for something I don't have and it made me realize there are lots of things that I don't have that I am thankful for.

For instance my wonderful God Daughter has sleep apnea.  I am more than thankful for not having that!  Thankful I don't have cancer, I am not blind or deaf.  Thankful I am not in poor health.  Thankful I am not homeless or penniless (except when I spend my money before the end of the month).  I am thankful I am not in an abusive relationship, or friendless.  

So I am feeling today like I am awfully blessed for many things that I don't have.  It is nice to have, but just as nice to have NOT! 

Life is certainly good, sometimes for what we have and sometimes for what we don't have.  I am living it and being thankful in my circumstances!!!
