Gratitude on display

Again the Olympics are providing great insights into human nature. The rower from Niger must be having the time of his life..just how do you capture that moment & how will he tell his story when he gets home?


All I know that I bet he is filled with gratitude for the opportunity to be part of the greatest sporting event in the world....just how awesome is Michael Phelps..19 medals....hard to imagine winning one let alone 19...


Today I had another wonderful insight into my life & how incredibly grateful I feel for friends like Tony, my family and the fact I am awakening & coming more fully alive every day....


Something about moving from a state of 'entitlement' to gratitude..all sorts of good things continue to happen & I learn more lessons about life..


Now it is time to spoil myself with a taste of my latest dessert sensation after preparing my tax return all day.........chia-date pudding..it is delicious..if you want the recipe I am happy to share it


Hope you like the poem

Getting better, not older

Be Thankful

Be thankful that you don’t already have everything you desire,

If you did, what would there be to look forward to?

Be thankful when you don’t know something

For it gives you the opportunity to learn.

Be thankful for the difficult times.

During those times you grow.

Be thankful for your limitations

Because they give you opportunities for improvement.

Be thankful for each new challenge

Because it will build your strength and character.

Be thankful for your mistakes

They will teach you valuable lessons.

Be thankful when you’re tired and weary

Because it means you’ve made a difference.

It is easy to be thankful for the good things.

A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who are

also thankful for the setbacks.

GRATITUDE can turn a negative into a positive.

Find a way to be thankful for your troubles

and they can become your blessings.
