"and when thou risest in the morning let thy heart be full of thanks unto God."
Now, I had read that scripture many times before, but this time I thought to myself that I should actually DO what it said (a novel idea). So this morning when I woke up, the sun was shining through the window, I was in my warm, comfortable bed when the temperature was around five degrees outside, and I took a moment to be thankful for a new day and all my many blessings. I truly tried to to "let my heart be full of thanks unto God." It felt good, and started the day off right. Amazing how it works to actually put into practice what the scriptures tell us to do.
I hope I can do that every morning and I think I'll be a happier person because of it.

I will try very hard to be thankful each morning when I wake up but I think it will be easier for me when the sun IS actually shining in my window and the temperature is above freezing when I crawl out of bed. Once a California girl, always a California girl!
That is a great thought, and from my favorite verse too!
