It is always our conscious choice which secret garden we will tend... when we choose not to focus on what is missing from our lives but are grateful for the abundance that's present -- love, health, family, friends, work, the joys of nature and personal pursuits that bring us pleasure -- the wasteland of illusion falls away and we experience Heaven on earth.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.25in; TEXT-INDENT: -0.25in"><span style="color:black;">Count your blessings instead of your crosses; Count your gains instead of your losses.<br />Count your joys instead of your woes; Count your friends instead of your foes.<br />Count your smiles instead of your tears; Count your courage instead of your fears.<br />Count your full years instead of your lean; Count your kind deeds instead of your mean.

Once you realize how valuable you are and how much you have going for you, the smiles will return, the sun will break out, the music will play, and you will finally be able to move forward the life that God intended for you with grace, strength, courage, and confidence.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.25in; TEXT-INDENT: -0.25in"><span style="color:black;">Getting together to smile and rejoice, Eating, and laughing with folks of your choice.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.25in; TEXT-INDENT: -0.25in"><span style="color:black;">Give thanks for sorrow that teaches you pity; for pain that teaches you courage -- and give exceeding thanks for the mystery which remains a mystery still - the veil that hides you from the infinite, which makes it possible for you to believe in what you cannot see.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.25in; TEXT-INDENT: -0.25in"><span style="color:black;">Give thanks for unknown blessings already on their way.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.25in; TEXT-INDENT: -0.25in"><span style="color:black;">Gooble ‘til you wooble<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.25in; TEXT-INDENT: -0.25in"><span style="color:black;">Gratitude is born in hearts that take time to count up past mercies.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.25in; TEXT-INDENT: -0.25in"><span style="color:black;">Gratitude is the heart’s memory.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.25in; TEXT-INDENT: -0.25in"><span style="color:black;">Gratitude shares, Appreciation speaks, Thankfulness shows, Compassion does.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.25in; TEXT-INDENT: -0.25in"><span style="color:black;">Happy moments, praise God.
