What's in Your Hands?

Gratefulness is the key to a happy life that we hold in our hands, because if we are not grateful, then no matter how much we have we will not be happy -- because we will always want to have something else or something more. ~ Brother David Steindl-Rast

While on the cruise, I was amazed by this couple who did aerial acrobatic dancing. They were breathtaking in places, so magical and spellbinding to watch at times. You can have a glimpse at this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8nFAR2fOUrc and see for yourself. Their show was entitled Journey and I was impressed by their tale of love and romance, struggle and success, and disappointment and determination. They seemed to have understood that gratitude is the key to a happy life and they held in their hands, both literally and figuratively.

Today was a busy workday. I am satisfied with the fundraising work that was done. I still have to count the final tally but it is somewhere in the $500 mark which is pretty good for the effort expended. I certainly cannot complain and I am thrilled that some of the winners were very deserving of their prizes.

I had a surprise at work when I was asked to do a short assignment at the end of the day. It was hugely successful and a great bonding experience with one of the new staff. I drove home smiling. Gotta love last minute events that make you happy.

I better get to bed early tonight after last night’s lateness!

Peace,
