Gratitude
- Today I’m grateful that I seem to have turned the corner on my head cold and I’m feeling better.
- I’m grateful that I made it to a meeting last night after a 2 week hiatus. It was good to be back in the rooms and to feel the warmth of the fellowship.
- I’m grateful that the sun is shining and the temperatures are cool. I particularly love autumn weather.
Positive Experience
Yesterday morning, on the way to school Mr. Grey asked, “Dad, have you ever considered moving to where my cousins live?”
“I don’t know buddy, perhaps. Do you think we should move there?” I asked.
“Yes!”
“Live in the same house as them?”
“Yes!”
“Don’t you think that would be a few to many people in one house?”
“Well, maybe, but we could live in a house near them.”
It makes me smile that the little man loves his cousins so much. It’s also a pleasure to take him to school in the mornings. Some days there is a little conversation like this one and others it’s a quiet ride — it doesn’t matter which one I get on any given day, I just enjoy having a few minutes with him in the morning.

I do love this fall weather. Thanks for the reminder about gratitude because I consistently fail to practice it. ; )

It’s not my strong suit either, hoping this exercise will improve that.

Thank you for this Damien. When experiencing sadness, acknowledging what I have to be grateful can be difficult but it helps.

It helps me get through some tough stuff. Have a look at the link to the article on Inc.com from my post yesterday for some other helpful ideas.

I also cherish those morning moments. But I only cherish them when I think about it. When I’m in the middle of it. It’s always a mad dash to get to work!
