Grateful

I read a couple of posts today from the Painted Prayerbook.

Jan, the author of this blog, says that the antidote to grumbling is gratitude.

I can understand that, and I agree with it, but the hardest part is putting into practice.  When I get going on a good rant, it is very hard to stop and be grateful for what is around me. 

In fact, when I'm complaining, probably the last thing I want to do is to stop and be grateful.

But I should.
