Trying to remain grateful is challenging, but honestly, it’s worth it.  Remaining in a grateful state of mind is good for you.  Think about when you feel thankful.  That’s a good feeling. And honestly, that’s a feeling that you can choose.  It takes some practice.  But like… find the good in things.  It’s good for your brain and it’s good for your attitude and outlook.  Think about the times that you feel like you haven’t gotten what you deserved.  That’s typically a very bad feeling.  Sometimes things go really well, and then it can be a little easier to be grateful.  But even when things are NOT good, you can find a reason to be grateful.  LIke, for example, you might have cancer and that can be a real pain in the ass.  Lots of painful treatments and trips to the doctor.  However, you might also live by a really good hospital.  One that other people travel to get to.  So while others might be negotiating hotel reservations and flight plans, you are simply driving home.   Having cancer still sucks, but you can be grateful for the amount of ease that your hospital visits offer compared to people going back to crowded hotels or trying to arrange flights out of a small airport.  Or, worse yet, catching a shuttle up to the other airport.  Yikes.
