It may not be Thanksgiving but that doesn’t mean it’s ever the wrong time to be grateful for your life as it is.
Whatever you may be going through, always remember that there are other things you’re not going through, no matter how small. Like the examples here on this list of problems we’re glad belong to someone else.
“I don’t think I had to wash that.”
It may not be working anymore but at least you know it’s squeaky clean!
“Eating ice cream and my spoon broke.”
This seems like a sign, but it’s a mean sign so I won’t elaborate.
