Thankful Thursday- reflection

This story here really made me think yesterday.  It made me think just how truly blessed my life is and how THANKFUL I am.  I am not usually so serious but after reading this great post by the fabulous http://www.wanderlustlust.com/ my brain went into overdrive.

So I am going to link up for the first time for THANKFUL THURSDAY.because today I am very thankful. 

• Thankful that I can donate a small amount of money to such a worthy cause.
• Thankful that I do not know what it is like to not give birth safely and with proper equipment and sanitary conditions
• Thankful that my children have way too many clothes and toys and do not know what it is like to be hungry or cold or not have proper medical assistance if they need it.
• Thankful that my biggest problems in the world are so freaking minor and not real problems at all that it is embarrassing.
• Thankful that I can help in my own way not only this cause but so many others by buying merchandise at the supermarket (although I do sometimes wonder how much of a $4 pen the charity actually gets), donating stuff to charity shops, buying stuff at charity shops, getting animals from the rspca and animal welfare league, buying raffle tickets to help the local charities in my area, buying fund raising chocolate (everyone knows those giant freddos are not bad for you). 
• Thankful that I have a computer and Internet access to be able to communicate and gain knowledge and entertainment and have a way to share such awesome causes.

I think thats it today, I will be back whinging tomorrow.
