It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood!

Here is todays good news....You can be happier, it's totally up to you!

Forget your 'woe-is-me' stuff today. Today is an excellent time to give thanks for all that is good in your life. Isn't it amazing that we can live in a western civilization and have so much and yet we can be so unhappy at times. Do you know why that is?

Of course you do, it's because we find it so easy to lose our appreciation for all that we have. I've written lots about this topic but we all need reminders about just how lucky we are. Modern day miracles are all around us....phones, television, internet, cars, planes and on and on. What if you had been unlucky and been born dirt poor in India or some other third world country.

At times I've asked others to write down what they have to be thankful for and amazingly they have a tough time. Here we are the most fortunate people on the planet and we should be able to write a thousand things to be grateful for and all we think about is the few things we don't like. Incredible!

So for one day, why not print off the picture above this article and think about everything that is good in your life.

Smile, it looks really good on you!

P.S. I'm really thankful that my mother never knew half of the things that I did while I was growing up!
