Gratitude Practice#2: Everything else we have

It is the 2^nd post of gratitude practice to celebrate the true meaning of the holiday. Truly give thanks to all we have in our lives. I hope all of you join. Our daily life may look about the same. When humans get used to something, they appreciate less. Not that we take all for granted but things are less noticeable. It is important to remind us that everything we have in our lives does not happen randomly. It is gifts, a lot of lucks and even miracles.
