Part of me being better has come with me growing up and having constant gratitude.
My mother always told me that gratitude is the attitude, and now I realize that she’s right. When things are going your way, you show gratitude. When things are looking down, you show gratitude for the moment that you’re in and for the lesson that you’re in the process of learning. When you love people and when people are kind to you, show gratitude. And, most importantly, whenever you are in the process of getting down on yourself, take a beat, reflect, and show gratitude for the space that you’re in.
Because of my dear friend, who is no longer on this earthly plane with me, and the lessons that he taught me, I have nothing but gratitude. His life, legacy, love, and support isn’t as obvious as it was when I could hear his laugh loud and clear, but I feel him every day, and for that, I am so grateful. And through him is how I came to fully understand why gratitude is the attitude and the way to appreciating everybody and everything, especially myself, my soul, my talents, and my life.
This one’s for you, G.
