Being grateful…grateful thinking to be precise…helps us savor life’s positive even “Hallmark” moments. Embracing an attitude of gratitude is life changing and happiness sustaining. When we adopted our first child we were so grateful as we were unable to have children the “biological way”. It was amazing to fly to Milwaukee and pick her up from her foster parents, to hold her for the first time, to feed her, to see her look up at you with her fabulous little smile. On the plane back home, we waited to take off and it got a little warm in the cabin. I blew on her head to cool her off and watched her little baby sweat drops bead up on her darling little bald head. Years later I recall the deep love I had for her the moment we met.
I have kept a picture of my daughter in my office for 23 years. It reminds me of that glorious day when I saw her for the first time. I look at it frequently and it always lifts my spirit.
Exercise: As you read these words did you have grateful memories? Jot them down if you would like and take a few minutes to remember the event and interactions. Enjoy.
