I'm completely happy with everything I have . I'm very thankful for my home and anything I own. I never complain about things because if I really want or need it, I just go get it !

I am grateful for what I have.

But I do have legitimate and harmless actual needs and preferences and I still pursue them according to their importance to me.

I don't complain, and I do appreciate what I have, but I do look ahead to what I want for the future.

Complaining solves precious little, so I've never been much for complaining, nor spared much sympathy for complainers.

I think people who require "things" to be happy, will never be; while those who find their happiness in the simplest places tend to appreciate the "extras" that much more. Personally, I count myself as extremely fortunate, and cherish every waking moment of it.

I try always to be thankful for what I have now. I know that God has not fail to provide me with what I need, rather than what I want. For this, I am truly thankful!
