It is easy to be grateful when things are wonderful, but we need to learn how to be grateful when times are difficult too. I had a lodge I worked on building for twenty years burn to the ground. It was gone in twenty minutes. That was a gut punch. Everything that was special to our family, every memento, every photograph, all gone. It probably wasn’t a house that burned down for you. Maybe it was a relationship, or perhaps it was a career choice.
