Gratitude

Today was Thanksgiving and I felt a lot of gratitude for my life, with all of its numerous difficulties, primarily because of my focus on eternity, rather than my day to day existence.  I also went through a period of fear, before I realized that using the eternal view, my fears were silly.  My best way to realize the silliness of my fears is to ask myself “if I were on my deathbed, would this make any difference”.
