Ahhh another pleasant morning with birds chirping and fresh coffee brewing. The air is still cool and one can almost sense today will be a great day. Ok so I still suffer from cock-eyed optimism , guess I'll always be spiffy.
Yesterday , even though my son stated he wasn't having children when he grows up so he can travel and have heated toilet seats , I was reminded how grateful I am and though we have very little we have much to be grateful for. Grateful I get to wake up each day , that I have a quirky and exuberant man cub who keeps me on my toes and has made me a better person, parent , and professional. I'm grateful his classroom staff and school staff are the right fit this year. Someone once told me organized sports are great with the right coach.
I am thankful for those who gave reached out to help us . I think Ace is thankful that after a month I finally turned the TV on , albeit for thirty minutes just to let him watch the end of the first half of the football game. I'm thankful my nine year old child insists on snuggling in my arms and listening to the baseball game on the radio each night.
We can face the day with fists clenched and ready to see the negatives as we struggle and fight . I posit a closed hand is akin to a closed mind and blocks that which we truly need. Take a moment and make a fist , squeeze that fist , feel the tension course through your body. Attempt to tie your shoes, write a note , drink your coffee , etc with that fist. Now think of five things you notice , feel or sense you are thankfully for. Release one finger with each thought of gratitude until your hand is open and receptive and your body is more relaxed.
I could go on ad neauseam about this but I'm thankful for a good job surrounded by outstanding people from the top down and all the way across the board, therefore I must bid adieu , drink my coffee, get my shower and Carpe Diem.
Thanks again for reading .
