(That's entry #2, not 52)
Around the first of this year, I
saw a blurb about the book: “365 Thank Yous”. It seems the book was published a couple of years ago. I quickly glanced at the synopsis, and
thought that seems interesting. As
it sometimes happens, that’s where I left the thought.
Again a few weeks back near the
beginning of June, I saw another blurb about this book. I downloaded it from B&N and
quickly devoured the entire book in two settings. (Or is it seatings?)
Either way this small book delivered a huge wallop.
I have always considered myself
quite lucky. I was born on a
Friday, the Luckiest day of the week. I am a Pisces, the luckiest sign of
all. I was born in the year of the
Rabbit, again, the luckiest sign of all.
If you ask me, I’m pretty darned Lucky. And just as
lucky as I feel, I always try to remember to be thankful.
So there I am on day one reading
this book while I have dinner at a favorite steakhouse. The book is powerful in quiet
ways. I sat eating my dead cow and
crying behind my glasses. Such a
pretty sight! Oh, I guess I’m
supposed to be thankful for that sight too. ... I suppose. Ha
ha.
Anyway, the jist of the book is
“the more thankful we are, the more we have things to be thankful for.” And I agree; this is truly an idea that
I can get behind. I’m now writing
thank you notes, left, right and center, and finding more each day to be
thankful for.
Today, I am thankful, that I got
up, I made it to the airport with plenty of time to spare, the staff at the
airport were all polite and courteous, and as I write this, I’m high over the
Pacific Ocean on my way to a First Time visit to Hawaii.
Thankful I am that I’m still on
the Road to Fifty! XO
