Challenge: Gratitude & Giving

Gratitude Is Lined In Silver

It's New Year's Eve. The closing of yet another year, another chapter, but this one was like no other. Everyone’s is talking about challenges right now. They talk about seeing the good that came out of such a challenging year. Silver linings, lessons learned, and seeing glasses half-full. I’d venture to say that these are the things we should take away from every year that passes as that’s how we grow and progress as human beings. But I believe in cause-and-effect and that at the core of all of these silver linings is gratitude. Without gratitude there is no happiness or silver lining. Gratitude is recognizing what we have and seeing with open eyes what others don’t. A challenge I’ve set for myself and my family as we move into this upcoming year is to use this gratitude to impact others. To give when others are in need. To see when others might look away. And to share what we have with those who have not. Perhaps the greatest silver lining that we will take from this dreadful year gone by is the importance of our role in this world and the value of reaching out to others regardless of how challenging it may be. I hope we all can take something truly meaningful away from this past year and use it to impact all that we do moving forward. Peace out 2020…Happy 2021!
