"When you rise in the morning, give thanks for the light, for your life, for your strength. Give thanks for your food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason to give thanks, the fault lies in yourself."
-Tecumseh
Being thankful is incredibly important. If you aren't thankful for your good fortune, you will likely take it for granted. Even if you don't realize that you are doing that. I once heard a story about two girls who were painting paintings one day in their lovely house. The story goes on and they accidentally get permanent paint on the floor, and they are given a second chance to do better the next time. But, not listening to the asking to not do it again, they get paint on the floor again. This time, there were consequences. After hearing this story, I feel like the one of the morals of the story is that if you aren't as grateful for something as you should be, you might treat it like it is not worth anything. But if you are thankful for whoever worked so hard to earn enough to buy whatever it is, you might just treat that thing better. The other moral is listen to what people tell you, they just might be right!
