I just want to Thank You !!!

10/15/2014

 
I’m always aware of how this time of year can  trigger loss for people.  There is the falling of leaves, the coming of Thanksgiving, Christmas, Chanukah, and other December holidays….. and then winter………….(Let’s not even go there right now!!!)  It can be easy to fall into a mindset of bah-humbug.  So when we are faced with really difficult times it is especially important to focus on gratitude.  A regular practice really helps shift your mood if you are getting stuck in your sadness. 
So when I was thinking about doing this blog post related to Thanksgiving I thought.... I am grateful for:  the lovely weather and the gorgeous colours in the leaves on the trees; the music I was listening to that gave me some ideas for more blog posts (!!!!....stay tuned!); my friends and family who provide so much joy and laughter and keep me humble about how much I have yet to learn; my body for still working on my behalf everyday all day for so many years; the delicious food that I get to eat because I live in such a wealthy country; the great space I get to work out of every day; and for all the people who come to see me who teach me more than textbooks or conferences could ever teach about the realities of living life.  From the bottom of my heart…..I  thank you.  Happy Thanksgiving.
