I just don’t understand why people aren’t happy?  I watched the news last night and see the poor people in Haiti and what they are going through and I can’t help but be so grateful for what I have and where I live.

Sorry, but I have to asked you people out there; “What is your real problem if you are not happy?” Give me some feed back and let me see if I can help.  How would you feel if everything you had was destroyed and you lost many of your loved ones?  Think about it and tell me how blessed you are.  I know I am so blessed my seams are about to burst and it feels absolutely wonderful.

Here is a little note from http://investingnotes.com that I found.  I certainly feel we all need to give some thought too!

What Happens In Heaven?

I dreamt that I went to Heaven and an angel was showing me around.  We walked side-by-side inside a large workroom filled with angels.

My angel guide stopped in front of the first section and said, “This is the receiving section.  Here, all petitions to God said in prayer are received.”

I looked around in this area, and it was terribly busy with so many angels sorting out petitions written on voluminous paper sheets and scraps from people all over the world.

Then we moved on down a long corridor until we reached the second section.

The angel then said to me, “This is the packaging and delivery section.  Here, the graces and blessings the people asked for are processed and delivered to the living persons who asked for them.”

I noticed again how busy it was there.  There were many angels working hard at that station, since so many blessings had been requested and were being packaged for delivery to Earth.

Finally at the farthest end of the long corridor we stopped at the door of a very small station.  To my surprise, only one angel was seated there, idly doing nothings.  “This is the Acknowledgment Section.”

My angel friend quietly admitted to me.  He seemed embarrassed “How is it that there is no work going on here?” I asked.

“So sad,” the angel sighed.  “After people receive the blessings that they asked for, very few send back acknowledgements.”

“How does one acknowledge God’s blessings?” I asked.

“Simple,” the angel answered.

Just say, “Thank you, Lord.”

“What blessings should they acknowledge?” I asked.

“If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep you are richer than 75% of this world.  If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish, you are among the top 8% of the worlds wealthy.”

“And if you got this on your own computer, you are part of the 1% in the world who has that opportunity.”

Also.

“If you woke up this morning with more health than illness, you are more blessed than the many who will not even survive this day.”

“If you have never experienced the fear in battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation, you are ahead of 700 million people in the world.”

“If you can hold your head up and smile, you are not the norm, you’re unique to all those in double and despair.”

OK, what now?  How can I start?

If you can read this message, you received a double blessing in that someone was thinking of you as very special and you are more blessed than over two billion people in the world who cannot read at all.

Have a good day, count your blessings, and if you want, pass this along to remind everyone else how blessed we all are.

One last word, “After reading this don’t you think it is time to CHOOSE HAPPINESS and count your blessing and stop feeling sorry for yourself if that is what you are doing?”

P.S. Hope I helped put things in perspective for you!  Always Choose to Be Happy, and acknowledge your blessings for the day.
