When it comes to being thankful and praising God for what He has done for you, it does not matter what is happening around you, you have to praise Him anyway! When something or someone tries to pull you down, find someone else to encourage. When things come against you through other people, the enemy will try to convince you that it is ok to talk about them and defend yourself, but we were not created to curse other human beings. Other people are not your problem! If you are listening to the thoughts of the enemy, you'll never enter into thanksgiving and praise! He inhabits the praises of His people. Let's be a "Praising People" worthy of our God's inhabitance.
