I went to work today and received some sad news from my friend and co-worker. I couldn't help but think about all of the good that I experience in my life.
I know that I have talked about this many times but it seemed appropriate to use this as a reminder.
I woke up, this morning, and didn't really feel excited to go to work. When I got there, and began doing my work, I quickly realized that my life is richly blessed.
I thought about how nice it is to have good health. I thought about my family and the intense love I feel for each member. It makes me grateful to have love in our home that brings peace and security.
Life is very good! The challenges will always be there but I am a firm believer that optimism is key to maintaining a good attitude.
Don't let a day pass without expressing your gratitude for all of your blessings. If you don't feel that blessed, start counting--it is a humbling experience.
