Thank you!

In terms of gratitude, I consider the alternatives. For example, I knew someone who saw the worst in every situation. "Things have to get better. They can't get any worse!" was a common phrase.

Actually, they could have gotten a lot worse.

As you point out, we live in a great country. Most people never have to worry about having shelter, or food, or physical security, or clean water, or... or...

When they forget that, or feel deprived because they don't have a Lexus or a 70" TV or whatever, they're laying the foundation for a life of unhappiness.

I sense we are on The Same Page. I find when I keep my head where my feet are, I do better. Not perfect, but better. When I Future Trip, I take myself to challenging places. Places that may not ever present themselves.
