As a strong believer in a positive attitude, I know that a major part of attitude is gratefulness. After reading "The Power of Positive Thinking" I believe it even more. One of the stories Norman Vincent Peale tells is about a man who came to him after losing his business telling him that he's lost everything. To make a long story short, Mr Peale asked if he'd lost his wife, his children, his health, etc. The man replied that his wife was very supportive and loved him greatly, his children also loved and supported him, and he was a healthy individual. So, the man really had not lost everything. In fact, he had the most valuable gifts surrounding him and he didn't even recognize it.
I think we all feel that way one time or another, especially since we're dealing with such hard economic times. If we step back and really take a hard look, we all have many things to be grateful for on a daily basis.
Keeping this in mind, I'd like to start a daily blog where we can tell each other what we're grateful for on an ongoing basis. Visit my new group....Gratitude, Let It Shine!
And, oh by the way, I'm never too busy for any of your Northeast Ohio referrals!
