In these times of constant change and craziness, there are different things challenging our peace, sense of security and economic wellbeing. But despite how life is challenging us, we can still shift our focus to an attitude of gratitude and be deliberate about always being thankful for things that make us blessed and for all the good that have come to our lives.
