I am a firm believer in Counting your Blessings. As difficult as things might be for some of you right now, look upward. And say a prayer or a gratitude of blessings for all the truly wonderful things you have in your life RIGHT NOW.
Someone always has things worse. When we count our blessings, they mulitply. It's not only the Law of Attraction and a Feng Shui belief, it also helps us maintain our focus on all the GOOD we have in our lives.
Tomorrow many of you will be truly Thankful. It's a day to give Gratitude. Wake up with that thought every day........it is amazing what that mindset will get you in life! For some it may take practice--but if you do it AND are consistent, it will become as easy as taking your next breath...and something you won't have to think about consciously anymore.
Many blessings and joys to everyone on Activerain---For a Joyful and Blessed Holiday AND Year!
For all the Abundance you'd like
For All the Blessings you Deserve
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone at Activerain. Happy Thanksgiving to my wonderful family and spectacular friends. And to the many, MANY special clients who have allowed me into their lives.

Thank you for the blessings and giving you back the same tenfold! It is with days such as this that I sit back and give thanks for everything I do have...not worrying about what I do not have. It's the thought just as you stated...that someone else has it worse off than I.
I am thankful for the friendship formed with you Carole.
Thank you!
Carole, very nice post. :) Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family, my friend.
love the red candles :-) I think I'll buy your services Carole as a Christmas present to myself ! :-)
Hi Carole..Nice post at this time of year and to remind us all to be Thankful for what we have...you are soooo right there is always somebody worse off!
Cheers, HAPPY THANKS GIVING FROM CANADA!
Happy Thanksgiving Carol,
I hope you have a wonderful day with family and friends filled with lots of love (and good food).
Carole,
May you and yours be blessed with all things great in life - but may you remain humble enough to appreciate.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Carole - I love this post. Even when it is tough right now, I try to concentrate on the good in life. Two healthy children are a blessing!
Happy Thanksgiving to you as well. I always enjoy reading your posts and this is a fine example of why.
Carole--What a wonderful sentiment! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family!
Happy Thanksgiving to you Carole. Have a blessed day.
Carole,
Thank you for the reminder ! It is beautiful when we can take a step back, be thankful, count our blessings and give gratitude. Happy Thanksgiving to you - it is an honor to meet people like you in the Rain ! Your words and energy are a positive inspiration for us !! So thank you : )
Carole- very nice post. Thank YOU so much for all your wonderful advice and suggestions this year,and your friendship. I'm thankful that my son is better, I'm at my daughter's house making her a turkey, and having new friends like you.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Carole, that is a lovely post. I love what you said about "when you count your blessings, they mulitply" That is so true. One of my favorite sayings is, "be grateful for what you have or nothing good can come into your life". Or somehting like that. I just love it!
Happy Thanksgiving my friend!
Carole - Happy Thanksgiving to you. I am so grateful for my family and friends. It is those relationships that make life so rich! I am thankful for your friendship and wish you a delicious day.
Carole- Happy Thanksgiving. I started out this week inspired to write a blog about what I am thankful for. It was easy to write because I have so many things to be thankful for. Thank your for your wishes and I wish them back to you many times over.
Sally, Thank you for everything. I too am very grateful for our friendship. The miles doen't matter, the heart does.
Judi, Thank you--it's almost over already :( I hope you have had a wonderful and Happy Thanksgiving as well.
Liz, I'm here any time you want me. Thanks so much and blessings for a wonderful day (I know you've had your Thanksgiving already and hope it was wonderful).
Fred, You too have already had your Thanksgiving so I can wish you a wonderful day! I hope you had one and thank you for stopping in!
Cynthia, It's almost over too soon. It WAS wonderful and I hope you had a wonderful day as well.
Carol, What a lovely saying! Thank you and I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving in your new home.
Tami, I have two as well and am always grateful for them. They wouldn't classify themselves as "children" but I still do :)
Melody, You are always so thoughtful in your comments and posts. Thank you very much for being a friend.
Teri, I wish you the same---I hope your day was wonderful and it's followed by a terrific weekend.
Missy, Your post was just amazing and deserved that feature. Thank you SO much for including me, what an honor--it's a keeper and so are you.
Chris and Stephanie, What a nice thing to say. I'm always happy if people enjoy something I wrote and I enjoy your posts very much as well.
Linda, I hope you had a wonderful day and I'm glad your son is feeling better. I'm sure you had a wonderful time with your family--and thank you!!
Cristal, I really do believe that--so I count them often. I know you do as well---and the good always follows. I hope you had a terrific day and thank you for being a friend.
Joan, What a wonderful way to put it, it WAS a delicious day :) I am also grateful for your friendship and all the wonderful people on this amazing site.
Kim, Isn't it amazing when we start adding them up we can see how many blessings we really do have? And then they will multiply. I wish you a wonderful day and weekend.
Lovely post Carole! I hope you and your family had a blessed and safe Thanksgiving.
It's amazing to me the LONG list of things to be thankful today and every day. Even with the every changing real estate market, the GOOD out ways the bad ten fold!
Carole, Lovely post. I love the photos. I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Carole - Happy Thanksgiving to you and all of our American friends here on AR.
We are so very blessed! I hope that your day of giving thanks was especially beautiful and blessed. GBU, my precious friend~
Happy Thanksgiving Carole-beautiful post! We gathered at our table today and my 3 yr old grandson shared he is thankful for "pasta"!! :)
Hi Carole, Thank you for the words of wisdom and timely reminder. I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Cheers, Harley
I find that if I carry the Christmas spirit with me 365 days a year by being Pleasant, Polite, Personable, Positive, and Professional, I always have something to be thankful for. It's something my wise old grandmother taught me.
Hi Carole,
Wonderful advise - we ALWAYS have MORE to be THANKFUL for than we realize.
I hope you had a wonderful holiday. :)
I love your photos and your beautiful message...Thanks Carole, and Thanksgiving blessings and gounty to you from me!
LOL Carole - Your fruitbowl looks like mine at home - except I ate a banana this morning, stuffed the turkey with cored apples, and squeezed the juice of fresh oranges over the sweet potatoes before baking them - so I have to go get some more soon- but not today- stores are way too crowded :)
each day of life is a blessing from God - I've had more than 17,520 blessings :)
sincerely
Grace
Debbie, Thank you, I had a WONDERFUL Thanksgiving! Always so much to be grateful for.
Mitchell, I saw your fabulous pictures of the Macy's Day Parade. Some day I'm going to be there!! And thank you for sharing that, I loved it.
Kathy, I know you already had yours but I hope EVERY day you have is filled with graditude.
Elizabeth, I wonder if some of us forget from time to time. I don't, I'm grateful every single day. GBU as well---every single day!
Hi Harley! I am late getting back to comments but hope you had a wonderful day as well!
Russel, I had a wise old grandmother as well...and have to go back and read your post. I am always amazed that the very things she taught me were true all along--even if I didn't see it back then!
Marzena, To you as well my friend. It was a wonderful holiday and is not over by a long shot :)
Mara, I hope you had a fabulous day and it's continuing. I never ever want to forget how many wonderful things I have in this life.
Grace, I think you have to add to that number. Although they are gone, there wasn't a time I didn't post a YouTube that huge amounts of blessings didn't get sent your way---and I had MANY. They are still sent your way regularly!
Russel, I LOVE that you created a whole site for your Grandmother! What a beautiful tribute and memory. I'll have to go read the rest but I just thought it was beautiful--and how fortunate we BOTH are to have such wonderful role models!
Sorry I missed this before the holiday. I hope you had a wonderful time spent with those you love. I had a great holiday and always trying to be thankful for what I have, both in experience, emotion, and possessions. I once had a wise friend of mine tell me that no matter your current situation, good or bad, it is a bridge to where you are going. In that sense, everywhere is a bridge to many different places and experiences or life's journey and those experiences are what is most important rather than the ultimate destination. Yes I am thankful for where I have been and where I am going.
Hi Carole,
Sorry I am late, I hope you and your family had a wonderful Thanksgiving!!
