This is not speaking of being thankful that you had an accident, being thankful that you lost your job, being thankful that your children don't have clothes or food to eat. No! It is speaking of an attitude of thankfulness, gratitude and thereby praise. Let's put it this way, it may seem that you've lost more than you imagined that you would at this time, however, an attitude of gratitude would be thankful that you didn't lose it all.

Thanks in the greek means; eucharisteo (Yoo-khar-is-the'-o) to be grateful, (act) to express gratitude (towards).

Live long and prosper with an attitude of gratitude.

Your attitude determines your altitude.
