Thankfulness

Venerable Wuling in Mindfulness

So often, we forget to take the time to be aware. When things do not go as we plan, we get upset, a seemingly natural reaction. But when things go smoothly, we forget to be thankful. We even blame our “forgetfulness” on our busy lifestyles. Yes, we all have problems at work or school, experience difficult relationships, and may fail in what we undertake. But, there are many things in our lives to be thankful for. All we have to do is to slow down, be mindful, notice, and value them. And be thankful.
