It takes more muscles to frown than to smile ....

...or so your mother always told you, anyway. It seems it would follow suit that it takes more effort to complain, than to find joy in life. That is my intent for this blog, an online thankfulness journal, of sorts. I have contemplated blogging for a while now and it seems I thought of MANY complaints to voice, and harp on, in my life. Then I thought of making my blog spot "my happy place." I WILL find reasons for joy and thankfulness. As the Apostle Paul of the bible once said; "I have learned, in whatever state I am, to be content." If you know your biblical history this was a man who was beaten near death, and imprisoned, and shipwrecked, etc, etc, etc ..... If he can find contentment whenever, and wherever, so can I. So today I am thankful that I can chose to be content. Trouble will surely find me, as it has before. But it can not choose my reactions , for this I am thankful. For this reason I embark on this blogging journey, to another land, "a State of Content."
