Be Thankful
Here’s what came to mind yesterday: “Easy to be thankful when things are going well; here’s to being thankful when things don’t go as planned, when things go sideways. Find the lesson, make the best of it, and go forward. Be thankful.” That sums it up, really. At least for me. It's proven itself over …
