GRATITUDE 06.18.10

The weeks seem to just fly by. But with each week that passes, I’m reminded of how grateful life truly is. This week I started a temporary position at a local career college in the textbook department. It’s been a wonderful week, a busy week and I’m so grateful that I have something to keep my mind occupied.

I’m grateful for a week in which I’ve been busy, a week in which I’ve contemplated the direction. I realized that perhaps accounting is not my forte. I want to do something that will help people. I’d love to find a way to extend my ability of writing to helping other people. I’m so honored by the many compliments people give me on my writing. I’d love to be able to help students learn proper English. I’m just amazed at the blessings that are in my life, and want to find a way to share my gifts with others.

I’m grateful for blessings in my life that have come in so many unexpected ways. I’m grateful for the people, the situations, and the experiences that have helped mold me into the man I am today.

Gratitude is one of the single most important aspects of my life. I truly believe that if someone does something nice for you, touches your life in a certain way, they need to know. That’s why I try to express gratitude on a regular basis to people in my life. It’s that important! It’s equally important to express gratitude to the Divine.

Here’s my confession: I have experienced a lot of things over the last few months. I don’t think I’d change a single moment. There have been tears and laughter, joy and discontentment. Losing my job probably saved me lots of sanity and eliminated a lot of stress. It’s also propelled me forward into territories I may have never dared explore. There are chapters still unwritten, and I’m ready to embrace the challenge of the future. I am today where my thoughts have brought me, but I will be tomorrow where my thoughts take me.
