The topic last week at one of my sessions was "The Attitude of Gratitude." This is something that we hear often and generally ignore. In my life, I find it
very difficult to express gratitude and thankfulness when my life feels like it is either out of control or is crashing down around me. I look at where I am in my life and what has happened over the last few months (or few years) and wonder why I should be thankful. And yet, if I look closely I can find so much that needs to be acknowledged. Let me share a few of them with you:
- After a cancer diagnosis at age 48, my screenings come back effectively cancer free 3 years later.
- After losing a high-paying job that I hated, I am back to doing the stuff I love (albeit at a lower salary).
- I have loving parents that took me in when I needed a place to live.
- I have marvelous children that have come together to support and love me.
- With all that we have been through and all the mistakes that have been made, my wife and I are fully committed to making our marriage work and are passionately in love.
blessings on your day
