The Gratitude Question

8/24/2014

 
    If I asked you to tap dance down a street for a million bucks, would you do it?  Now if I asked you to have your arm amputated (yes, you can have anesthesia) and THEN tap dance down the street, would you still do it? No? Not even for a million dollars?  You like your arm so much you wouldn't trade it for all that cash...but when's the last time you expressed any gratitude for having two arms? Hmmm...

    It's a weird guideline, but starting your weekend of gratitude with the simple question of "what would I not trade for a million bucks" can spark some intriguing conversations - and some welcome moments of appreciation for what we have in our lives.

    Our pain, rough days, hard choices, un-deserved misfortune, are the glue that binds us all together. They're inevitable and expected. But our ability to experience gratitude--for our loved ones, the parts of us that still work, any moment we feel joy, happiness or peace, is what sets us apart. Our gratitude is what sustains us, nurtures us, and enables us to keep moving, even on the hardest of days.
