Happy Monday and It's a Beautiful Week!

What are you looking forward to this week? Anticipation of happy experiences is a good stress buster–especially if you are in a work setting that isn't to your preference. While you are waiting for change to occur, what can you enjoy right now, right here?
Here are some things I will enjoy this week:
  • The smiles of my children, husband, and mother.
  • Taking our dog for long walks.
  • The humor of my co-workers.
  • The beautiful New Mexico sky.
  • The fascination of the wind in April.
What are the experiences you will enjoy this week?

A crew-cut clean shaven Ambassador for God knocked randomly on the door of a brick ranch-style house. Standing at the open door was a black eye-lined, black dyed haired 15-year-old boy wearing a silk screened Slip Knot t-shirt.

A letter of thanks

Something to consider: write a note of gratitude for any experience you encounter each week which engages you in a positive or negative way. The positive builds memory for times of challenge and the negative reveals the character we build along the way. The negative teaches an opposite way to be and the positive re-enforces it. Without the negative the positive can't exist. Without the negative all we have is neutrality, stagnation, and complacency. And if that's all there is, then that's all there is. You have the capacity for more: GRATITUDE
