Gratitude opens our eyes

"Gratitude makes us feel good because it helps us widen our frame of vision.  When we are under depression or stress, we can develop tunnel vision, seeing only this problem or that difficulty.  We can get over taken by a heavy, dark feeling of despair.  But when we experience a sense of gratitude, we give ourselves a dose of mental sunshine.  Suddenly the world seems brighter, and we have more options."

M.J. Ryan

In other words, if you want to get out of your funk, find something to be thankful for and focus on that.  Then repeat.

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
