Starting The Year with An Attitude of Gratitude - Hope for What is to Come
Reflecting on the Challenges of the Past Year
Reflecting on the challenges and uncertainties of the past year, I could not help but acknowledge the resilience and strength that guided us through unprecedented times. The global community faced adversity on multiple fronts, grappling with political conflicts, economic uncertainties, and social changes. However, amidst the hardships, stories of compassion, solidarity, and innovation emerged, highlighting that there is still kindness around us.
Finding Gratitude in the Present
So as I sat to plan my year, gratitude once again has become a powerful lens through which I view the experiences I have encountered, the ones I am encountering and the ones yet to come. In my own small way, I acknowledge how grateful I am for the relationships I am a part of and the connections I have formed over the last couple of years. The help I received was expected and unexpected when I needed it and the positive and negative experiences taught me lessons for my continuous growth. On a larger scale, my heart is full for every one of us working together to maintain peace and order.
Looking Forward with Hope and Promise
As we come to the end of the 2nd week, I am filled with a calm peace and a sense of hope for this year. We all do not know how this year will turn but we can all be hopeful for today is yet upon us. So, no matter where you are right now in life let this newsletter you open be your reminder that we made it this far. We are still here alive and healthy, and we are blessed because we have the means and freedom to be reading this.
Now a thought for the weekend - We can choose how we approach this year and all that it holds, and I choose to embrace it with an attitude of gratitude. Not because everything is glorious in my life but because I choose to see that All is Well. My challenge is how will you approach this year?
Affirmation: I choose an attitude of gratitude in all things
