Being Thankful for The Little Things

Yes, I'm learning this lesson now. I know that I am thankful that there is still enough money to afford to have Internet connections at home. I know that I am thankful that my health is relatively good. I am thankful for food on the table, a home to live in and heat.

I am grateful for friends and family who support me. It has been difficult to change the schedule I've had for the past two and half years, but it had to be done. I am now in the midst of searching for on-line jobs that I can do working from home. It has been quite an adjustment for me to finally admit that there are no regular jobs for me anymore. Employers are not willing to take their chance on someone like me. I'm a risk to them and there are too many others that are willing and capable of doing the jobs I'm capable of doing.

I can be thankful that I do have my writing to fall back on...and I have been making some money at it. I just wish for that 9 to 5 Monday to Friday job I used to have....sigh! Yes, I do have more freedom now to tackle the history project I've assigned myself to do....because I feel it's important that young people know about their local history before it all disappears.

I guess I'm stressed because I know that I will owe taxes this year...and am not sure I'll be able to pay them. I wonder how many are in my situation....it could be a lot....another sigh....

I can be thankful for our police and fire departments who keep us safe...for water and electricity...Yes, I can be thankful for all that.

The one thing I'm most thankful for though is God's saving grace.
