Speak, see, hear, smell, taste, touch

Asking someone to be thankful when all they can feel is negative emotions takes courage. They are most likely going to react harshly to your suggestion and you will become the target for their wrath. Don't back down. Stand your ground. Be thankful that you can be there for someone who feels so let down by life.

If it is you that is feeling negatively about your life's choices, drill down to the basics. Can you speak, see, hear, smell, taste, touch? If you said yes to any or all of these six things, you should be thankful. Being able to do these things is far more valuable than anything you have going on in your life at the moment. 

When the storm blows over, as it always does, you will move on with your six most valuable assets in life. Be thankful for these blessings. <3
