It's so very easy to gripe and complain
To dwell on your sorrows or maybe your pain
To start every day with a feeling so blue
Wondering why life is unfair to you
It's also so easy to feel all alone
To think no one else knows the
heartache you've known
It's easy to look in the mirror and see
A person whose luck is as bad as can be
But looking at things in a whole other light
Can make all your problems seem ever so light
If you start every day with a really big smile
If you do what you need to with grace and with
style
If you think how much worse that your life could
have been
If you take just one frown and turn it into a
grin
If you see someone else whose much worse off
than you
Yet they seem to be happy, that should give you
a clue
How easy it is to forget what we've got
To dwell almost always on what we have not
But practicing how to be thankful for things
Makes it easy to face life and all that it brings
I'm not saying it's easy to hold up your chin
To not feel discouraged and throw the towel in
But counting your blessings instead of your woes
Brings new comfort and hope to your life, Heaven
knows
Find something good about every new day
Find something positive that you can say
No matter how trivial, little or small
Even if you think it's not much at all
A small thing today and another tomorrow
Will add up and grow till it lightens your sorrow
Each day becomes easier and then you'll see
A smile in the place where a frown used to be
