It is easy to think of things that are not going right in our lives. It’s easy to lash out when we feel like we don’t get what we deserve. It’s easy to be angry and hurtful when we feel unheard. It’s during these times, when we have to remember all the simple good things in our lives, because so many people don’t have these things.

I’m thankful I have a job that provides enough for my family to have their basic needs of food and shelter met.

I’m thankful I live in a country where I can express my opinions and build a future for my family.
