Gratitude with Some Attitude

Do I have gratitude with some attitude attached?  Well lets see, gratitude is simply having thankfulness.  Attitude is a mental position or feeling with regards to an object.

So, yes, I feel you can say that I do have gratitude with some attitude attached.  I realize that I am not unique.  That I have flaws and defects of character like others.  That there are a lot of folks just like me out there.  Maybe you are one of them.  I have to get out of bed and put my pants on one leg at a time, just like you do.

My days are not that special, except that God choose to wake me up that day.  They are just days filled with a lot of emotions at times.  In one day, I know my emotions can change up to 100 times.  But those are my days and I am the one that has to live with my decision in that day, gratitude or not.


I may not have much to some people but to me, I have some of the best treasures in life.  All of which I cherish deeply.  So many, that I could not begin to list them all.  I am so thankful every day of my life that I have life.  I am not sure lots of days what my purpose in life is, but I have the faith that God will guide me in what I should do.

My gratitude with attitude shows by the way I live my life.  My gratitude is mine and no one else can have mine.  My attitude is that of showing how strong my gratitude is.

Do you have gratitude that has some attitude?  Have you stopped today and just asked yourself "Am I grateful today?  What am I grateful for?  Should I be grateful?  Do I have the gratitude that should have some attitude with it?"

Many of you will say "I don't have anything today to be grateful for."  If that is your response, then I really think you might want to go back and look at your day.  Did God wake you this morning?  Do you have food to eat?  Clothes on your back?  A warm, dry place to live?  These are the things that we should be grateful for every single day.  If you can't be grateful for the small things in life, that to some, are big reasons for them to be grateful. Then, again, you may want to check what your priorities are.

Yes, I have lots of gratitude with a huge amount of attitude behind it all.  Thank you God for thinking about me.  That's part of my gratitude with some attitude!
