Thanks-Giving

I was in a conversation recently with a grateful fellow. He detailed many reasons he was thankful, just from the previous day or two, and smiled, "What more could I want?" He thought about it a moment, then followed up with "Well, I need a new [major internal organ], but that'll work out okay." He pondered this a moment, then returned to expressing his gratitude.

It made me smile, and it made me think. How often am I distracted by the rather small things which sometimes inconvenience my life, and miss the many good things that come my way?

  1. I'm guessing the [major internal oragn] couldn't have been his heart, because it sounds like he has a good one.
