Yesterday was a great day, I had chances to help people at work. I had great conversations with friends. I had a date with my wife at a restaurant we had not been to before.
But as wonderful as yesterday was, many of my conversations involved things that were not pleasant. One conversation talked about the dynamics of a dysfunctional relationship . Another conversation was about how to deal with aging and ailing parents. And yet another conversation dealt with the struggles of ailing spouses.
As I reflected on the day, I focused on all that have. Yet, I also thought about the situation of my friends. Like my friends, my life is not perfect. It would be easy to focus on the imperfections and flaws. Yesterday, I chose gratitude rather than negativity and it made all the difference.
Todays challenge is to do focus on health. Starting small by being grateful for air in my lungs, a beating heart, the gift of senses, and the ability to move with little pain. My health is infinitely better than it was four years ago when I started this challenge and for this I am grateful. I take time today to focus on your health and be grateful for what you have. If you can improve your health, do something today.
