Holiday Gratitude
December 08, 2009
I'm sitting in a car dealership waiting room right now, waiting for our van to get the snows put on and am overwhelmed with one thing...gratitude. I am grateful for having an amazing & beautiful wife, and healthy, fiesty, beautiful kids to share the holday season with. I am grateful for going to get the tree while having snowball fights, joking, & laughing. I am grateful for the sometimes cheezy Christmas music that plays while we decorate the tree, and the eggnog & cookie tradition when we are done. I am grateful for a warm house, and a really annoying, stinky, & oversized dog that bombards me every time I walk into it. I am gratefull for a fun Fair Trade business that is starting to catch on. Not everyone can say they are so lucky and I fully realize that, though it is important to keep at the tip of my consciousness.
One thing I recommend no matter who you are, what losses you have suffered, what financial stresses may be present, what you do or don't have, or what you think you have been shorted in life or unfairly dealt. Find some things to be grateful for this holdiday season, and focus on them. There are so many people in our country & around the world that always have less, need more, and still put a smile on their face. Be grateful...you have a lot. Love every day, and don't be shy about it...show it, because it will rub off on others. Be positive, work hard, help others, and by god have fun! You and everyone in your life deserve it!
Happy Holidays & a Very Merry Christmas!
