It is not even halfway through my 22 day gratitude challenge, and I am already thinking that I might run out of things to be thankful for. But there is my problem! Gratitude and thankfulness should never have limits.
1. Did I mention that I am grateful for coffee?!?!
2. I am thankful for children. From newborns to 18 month olds. Kids carry a sense of adventure and hope. I had an 18 month old in my office today, who turned the light switch on and off for 5 mins, and it was the most spectacular thing in his eyes.
3. Random photo opportunities. As one of my very close friends knows, there is just something about random photo shoots that I love. Capturing a moment that is ridiculous, awkward and hilarious with a camera is priceless. Today, one of my athletes was on a mission, and took pictures with everyone he saw. One picture he was trying to take with me while I was on the phone discussing auto insurance. That one is a keeper....trust me!
4. I am thankful for being told that I will be missed by people who are leaving CCU or graduating. Those words hold some pour.
5. I am grateful for rain. I love rain, the sound of it, the smell of it.....everything.
There is a song from a little band called Foolish Things. I love the lyrics.....
well i think i need the rain today
pounding down on me
it's reminding me that i'm still alive
or supposed to be
and it's good to watch the clouds today
and the ways they move and roll
i guess it helps to ease my troubled mind
to know that someone's in control
so show me the way to find myself a better day
'cause i'm barely holding on
i need you here to wash away these doubts and fears
and hold my hand tight till the dawn
:: Words that seem so appropriate this week::
